If not, then why would any American wish to hear your divisive song given equal status? If you set a precedence then you are asking for a Latino, Asian, gender confused, etc. to demand equal time for a song of their choice. And by the way, this has NOTHING to do with equality.

It's not a "but, the song is really nice, or what difference does it make, or I don't like the wording of our National Anthem." If you were born in America or are Nationalized, you have only ONE National Anthem. Don't like it? Suck it up buttercup.

Where is it written that any song holds "equal status" with the Star Spangled Banner? I've never seen that. Your getting over wrought over nothing. Mountain over a molehill.
