What you hear sung at the ball game is not the entire verse! In fact it has been deliberately censored to not include the most important verses in the final stanza. Your government certainly doesn’t want you to feel this way about our current illegal wars: “…conquer we must, when our cause it is just,” otherwise they would feel more opposition to their policy. Our population has been taught that flag worshiping and singing along to Bruce Springsteen is the way to be patriotic. It is not. Learning about why we fight, what the flag used to stand for and fighting “all enemies foreign and domestic” is the proper duty of a patriot. Below is the full anthem:

Star Spangled Banner has been censored

Complete version of the Star Spangled Banner - notice the fourth verse in bold. Any thoughts on why this verse is not taught or sung?

O say can you see, by the dawn’s early light,
What so proudly we hail’d at the twilight’s last gleaming,
Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight
O’er the ramparts we watch’d were so gallantly streaming?
And the rocket’s red glare, the bomb bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there,
O say does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave?

On the shore dimly seen through the mists of the deep
Where the foe’s haughty host in dread silence reposes,
What is that which the breeze, o’er the towering steep,
As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses?
Now it catches the gleam of the morning’s first beam,
In full glory reflected now shines in the stream,
‘Tis the star-spangled banner - O long may it wave
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave!

And where is that band who so vauntingly swore,
That the havoc of war and the battle’s confusion
A home and a Country should leave us no more?
Their blood has wash’d out their foul footstep’s pollution.
No refuge could save the hireling and slave
From the terror of flight or the gloom of the grave,
And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave.

O thus be it ever when freemen shall stand
Between their lov’d home and the war’s desolation!
Blest with vict’ry and peace may the heav’n rescued land
Praise the power that hath made and preserv’d us a nation!
Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
And this be our motto - “In God is our trust,”
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave.
