George,

My response to "A Christian Nation" presented on your website is in this song that I composed titled: "The Hegemonic Super Power Anthem of America."

{What are we to make of America, purportedly to be the super power of the world and a Christian nation who is also the number one jailer of the world with a growing homeless population and many people living in poverty without access to medical care...while the rich get richer?}

The Anthem
Listen to the song of twenty-first century America and you will hear, "America is the super power of the world, America is the greatest nation on earth, America is a Christian nation, and everyone wants to come to America.

We pray asking God to bless America,
not to bless the world, and we are told
that it is patriotic for us to believe that America has the right and duty to spread wide her hegemonic wings so they can hove over all the people throughout the whole wotld.

We sing America the beautiful and God
is on our side without considering
whether or not we are on God's side.
And we are the number one jailer in the
world and there are homeless, sick but
untreated and uneducated people in
America.

Rise up Americans and let us sing a
song of freedom and peace. And let us
sing like we never sung before with
resolve and love. May all people join
with us and sing for freedom and peace.
Come on, rise up Aemricans and let us
Sing a song of freedom and peace.
