Iowa State Flag and Song

[r4dice86]

@Helotes420 Also, regarding your original unfounded implication that Iowa hasn't "turn[ed] the same-sex wedding ruling to their economic favor," yeah, we're way ahead of you. Google "Iowa's Gay Wedding Planner."

But thanks for showing up to educate us "dipshits" who are actually among the best educated, fairest minded people in the country.

@Helotes420 I said "either support *or* don't care," and I support it. Strongly. Vocally. Politically. You don't know anything about me, or Iowa apparently. Where do you get off degrading the citizens of the only state outside New England/New York to have gay marriage!? Don't lecture me on how it's a civil rights issue! I know! I've been here in the trenches fighting to protect gay marriage here since the day we got it! STOP condescending without knowing what you're talking about!

[r4dice86]

@Helotes420 Most Iowans, myself included, either support or don't really care either way about same-sex marriage. Yes, there is a very vocal minority of people who oppose it, but a much smaller percentage than the country at large. Why don't you inform yourself before you insult others?

Also, "the idiotic inbreds of Iowa" and "drop the hate" in the same comment. Thanks for the irony!

You asked what land I love the best, Iowa, tis Iowa,

The fairest State of all the west, Iowa, O! Iowa,

From yonder Misissippi's stream

To where Missouri's waters gleam

O! fair it is as poet's dream, Iowa, in Iowa.

See yonders fields of tasseled corn, Iowa in Iowa,

Where plenty fills her golden horn, Iowa in Iowa,

See how her wonderous praries shine.

To yonder sunsets purpling line,

O! happy land, O! land of mine, Iowa, O! Iowa.

[iriemike420]

And she has maids whose laughing eyes, Iowa, O! Iowa.

To him whose loves were Paradise, Iowa, O! Iowa

O! happiest fate that eer was known.

Such eyes to shine for one alone,

To call such beauty all his own. Iowa, O! Iowa

Go read the story of thy past. Iowa, O! Iowa

What glorious deeds, what fame thou hast! Iowa, O! Iowa

So long as times great cycle runs,

Or nations weep their fallen ones,

Thoult not forget thy patriot sons, Iowa, O! Iowa

[iriemike420]

The song, "Song of Iowa," words by Samuel Hawkins Marshall (S.H.M.) Byers and traditional melody of "O, Tannenbaum," was adopted by the Iowa Legislature as the Iowa state song on March 20, 1911.
