What makes America so incredible is the people within it, not the ones who govern them. The declaration of Independence is why, and the Constitution is how we keep Americans free from tyranny. If other countries were a democratic republic with a free market economy, we'd see them become almost as incredible as our country is. We can thank our founding fathers for developing the greatest place in the world.

Very profound statement , thank you for reminding me. Thomas Jefferson said the people would have rebel against they powers that from time to time. I think the time has come after partisan control and no real deal things getting cone. I was once a republican now I'm a independent voter. I don't care for present president , however I t respect the office that he holds.

There was only one night game a year. On the Fourth of July, the whole sky would brighten up with fireworks, giving us just enough light for a game. We played our best then because, I guess, we all felt like the big leaguers under the lights of some great stadium. Benny felt like that all the time. We all knew he was gonna go on to bigger and better games, because every time we stopped to watch the sky on those nights like regular kids, he was there to call us back. You see, for us, baseball was a game. But for Benjamin Franklin Rodriguez, baseball was life.

Daniel O'Connor, the "beauty" is not a physical beauty. America is no more or less physically beautiful than any other place. It's beauty is in its documents--its promise of democracy--"if [Americans] can keep it." Probably more than all of us, Ray Charles has seen/felt/experienced the fault lines and hypocrisy with which many practice those documents.

America was created by people like you, Sir. We are a nation of outcasts, and immigrants. People from every other land on Earth. But all, are Americans. Together, as one People. And that, is our true strength, and our pride. We're not perfect. Far from it. We are an ongoing experiment in Democracy. An experiment that will never end, but that with God's Grace, will continue, as we hand down our Nation to the next generation, with the admonishment to improve upon our labors, and create that, "more perfect Union".

A great rendition I always think of him as a man who chose his own path. He took a lot of heat for this song--. From whites because he was a black man choosing to do it his way not the traditional way and from blacks who called him Uncle Tom. I think maybe he saw himself as a singer/musician American first. Sure is how I see him. RIP

I bet. I married into the Navy, so I've lived in every corner and Hawaii, and driven coast to coast more than a few times. Once while 8 months pregnant, aka, Potties of America tour, because we just drove from one rest stop to the next, lol. It is an incredibly beautiful place, something different around the curve, and I know I'll never be more blessed than the day I was born an American.

I don't believe I've ever heard of anyone else only Ray singing America the Beautiful. Every time I hear this song by Ray I feel the love of God and his grace upon me. America is the only chosen country other than Israel in the world, it is here for a reason. It is to be a righteous country. God has promised us if we would only remember Him and repent He would protect this nation . The United States is a nation under God and when that changes we will be destroyed as a nation. I believe we are in the beginning stages now.

Oh beautiful, for heroes proved, In liberating strife, Who more than self, our country loved, And mercy more than life, America, America, may God thy gold refine, Till all success be nobleness And every gain devined. And you know when I was in school, We used to sing it something like this, listen here: Oh beautiful, for spacious skies, For amber waves of grain, For purple mountain majesties, Above the fruited plain, But now wait a minute, I'm talking about America, sweet America, You know, God done shed his grace on thee, He crowned thy good, yes he did, in a brotherhood, From sea to shining sea. You know, I wish I had somebody to help me sing this (America, America, God shed his grace on thee) America, I love you America, you see, My God he done shed his grace on thee, And you oughta love him for it, Cause he, he, he, he, crowned thy good, He told me he would, with brotherhood, (From sea to shining sea). Oh Lord, oh Lord, I thank you Lord (Shining sea).

No, it should not. That song is a about a very dark day in our fight against the British empire. A day In which, against all odds, we persevered, and the flag still flew. It still flew because it was being held up by the bodies of our dead soldiers. All that said, if that wasn't our anthem, this should be.
