[Vision2020] Theme Songs and National Anthems

Let me preface my comments with a blurb from Dale Courtney's blog,
Right-Mind.

Obama Serenades Rabbis with “Deutschland Uber Alles”

Barack Obama held a national conference call with a thousand rabbis on the
subject of government healthcare monopoly.

But while waiting on hold for the call to begin, the rabbis were serenaded
with the German tune “Deutschland, Deutschland über alles.”

The irony here is just too amazing: trying to convince 1,000 rabbis that
there are not going to be death tribunals while playing the Nazi theme
song.

FYI, Visionaires (and you, too, dale) -

"Deutschland Uber Alles" is (and has been since 1841) the national anthem
of Germany (West Germany prior to unification)

I really didn't have to look it up to know this, either.  See, I heard it
played more often than I can remember during the twelve years (of my
20-year Army tenure) I was stationed in Germany.  I can sing it (off key
and all) in both English and German, at least the first stanza.

Listen to it.  It is a beautiful song.

So, you see, dale.  As much as you want to believe, "Deutschland Uber
Alles" is NOT the Nazi theme.

Gsehen sie nach Farmers' Market, Moscow.
