All national anthems are stupid and ridiculous.

I listened to this a few hours ago, and I was outraged. But after considering it, he's not far off the mark. It was written to the tune of a drinking song (which was already hard to sing), and he had to make his words fit the music. I don't think it's an abomination, and I certainly don't get embarrassed listening to it (that's going a bit overboard), but our national anthem could use an update.

Meh, his opinion. Mine differs. For me the National Anthem is less about the song and more about the feeling it inspires when I hear it. I would normally say he's just trying to drum up attention but I'm actually surprised this garnered any outrage. He just sounds a little doofy to me.

National anthems are really nothing more than propaganda.

If your kids were to be required to sing the North Korean national anthem for even ONE DAY at school, you'd be saying the same. That it's propaganda.

To understand this one first has to understand the aim of a liberal: To get rid of all nations and cultures for the sake of "equality".As in physics/chemistry equalization is neutralization, the final goal of leftism is the destruction of mankind. At their core liberals are misanthropists. They call culture, respect, country, reverence, family, accountability "fascist". Anything just and good is compared to the ultimate evil of the 20th century - fascism and nazism. Thats the card they keep playing over and over and over - hold up a picture of someone singing the hymn and beside it a picture of hitler. Luckily, the public is not stupid enough to fall for it...yet.
