Ashcroft rallies troops with song
Katy Kay
BBC, March 4, 2002
America's Attorney General, John Ashcroft, has taken his fondness for morning prayer meetings at the US Department of Justice one step further - he is asking his staff to start the day by singing patriotic songs he wrote himself.
The move has alarmed employees, who seem less than taken with their bosses' musical skills.
Mr Ashcroft himself gives a gutsy rendition of his own tune, Let the Eagle Soar, whose title reflects the song's patriotic spirit.
The deeply Christian attorney general, fired by the country's wartime spirit, has begun distributing printouts of the lyrics to his tune at Justice Department meetings so that his staff can join in.
Spanish speakers are being recruited to translate the song, which has curious shades of Neil Diamond in its tinkly country and western rhymes.
Continues like the GOP warmongering to the present day...

If Trmp doesn't regard Catholics as Christians, I don't know what he thinks of the Orthodox Church(es).

It looks like the Capitol dome has been replaced with a belfry which supports a giant cross.
