Replacing Our National Anthem

In case you missed it, last week at the Denver mayor's State of the City Address, singer Rene Marie substituted the National Anthem with what has been called the Black National Anthem. This she did without prior notification to city officials. She didn't even ask permission. That city officials stood by and let it go says much about where our nation is heading. Feelings over thinking. She felt that she should sing it because it illustrated what it is like being black and being a black woman.

Radio talk show host, Dennis Prager, has written a thoughtful article about how narcissism has taken over our behavior since the 1960's. Please take the time to read it.
