Archie Bunker most certainly was a memorable television character. For years, he appeared as a star of \u201cAll in the Family\u201d and struck a chord with millions of Americans who felt they could relate to Bunker\u2019s views on being an American.The show described Bunker as a hard-working American man who previously served in the armed forces, which explains why he was unwilling to stand by and let another man belittle the Star-Spangled Banner and be disrespectful toward it and all it stood for.<\/p>\n
Bunker loved being patriotic and never worried about his political incorrectness. Although some of his comments have not aged well considering the \u201cwoke\u201d revolution overtaking America these days, Bunker\u2019s stance in favor of the national anthem continues to speak to millions of Americans who continue to put their pride in America before all else.During this clip, Bunker was watching television with his son-in-law, Meathead.<\/p>\n
While the national anthem was being played ahead of a sports event, Meathead complained about the anthem and said that it was not a very good song because it glorified the horrors of war.
\nAlthough modern-day critics of the national anthem claim it is racist against Black, brown, and indigenous people of color, Meathead was taking a stance against the anthem because it was written during the War of 1812 between the fledgling United States of America and Great Britain.
\nWhile Meathead shared his criticism of the anthem, Archie Bunker quickly came to its defense.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat is one terrible song,\u201d Meathead complains to his father-in-law. Bunker cannot believe his ears and lets his son-in-law know as much. He turns his gaze to Meathead with his eyes popping out of his head in shock at what he just heard come out of his son-in-law\u2019s mouth.Don\u2019t start up nothing with me, Meathead. I\u2019m watching the game. That\u2019s a beautiful song, and shut your face.\u201d Bunker\u2019s blunt attack gets Meathead riled up. He shifts in his chair and prepares to counter Bunker\u2019s statement with one of his own invention.
\n\u201cHuh? The song glorifies war, and even as a song, it stinks. Nobody can remember the words.\u201d
\n\u201cYou\u2019re going to ruin this game for me?\u201d Bunker lashed back.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
