While I have always stood for our national anthem, something I wasn't aware of prior to this controversy is the wording of the third (I think it's the third) verse.

Since I'm on my phone, trying to find it and pasting is a pain...so maybe someone could do it?

If what I've read is correct, it states killing runaway slaves is not only fine...but encouraged.

Are there really folks who DON'T find this reprehensible?

And unlike some, I couldn't be more proud of our President for acknowledging that we ALL have the SAME rights...not just the rights/people we like.
