If you are one of those who stand because you feel obliged, isn't that your problem? Remain seated, if you prefer. This is America! Everyone is free to do as they wish. You will not suffer any consequences because you did not stand.
I have heard that song hundreds of times. It still moves me, makes me proud that I live in a country where I am free, and any foreigner who tries to take that away, will be sorry they messed with me. I'll defend this country and my rights until the day I die! You can consider my standing a WARNING to anyone who may try to take down the red, white, and blue.

You’re selective....and arbitrary in your choices of patriotic themes. And how you measure others patriotism.
I didn’t tell you....or anyone else...what I do. I don’t let anyone dictate patriotism to me. You can hang your hat on the....1984...Lee Greenwood track for an event that happened in 2001. Whitney Houston’s 1991 rendition of Star -Spangled Banner at the 1991 Super Bowl is what most consider the modern version of the anthem. We were at war (Iraq Persian Gulf). That moved the nation. Don’t question or arrive at a conclusion of another person that you clearly don’t know....or know anything about.
