O Say Can
You See?: Jerry
Barrett welcomes our resident Conspiracy Scientist, Steve Reilly to the show. The War of 1812
has been called our second revolutionary war. It prompted Francis Scott Key to pen the poem
that has become our nation’s national anthem, The Star Spangled Banner.
Although other countries’ anthems profess pride or inflated language about their
greatness, were you aware that our national anthem poses a question? We all have heard the song
hundreds of times, either at events or sporting contests, but have you heard this question? Is
our national anthem racist, as the California NAACP would have you believe?
