Md. lawmakers stung by state song - wtop.com

Md. lawmakers stung by state song - wtop.com: "ANNAPOLIS, Md. - 'Maryland, My Maryland,' the state song which 'spurns the Northern scum,' stings the legislators, too, even if some don't know the words.

'Actually, I really have never paid a lot of attention to the words,' said Delegate Pamela Beidle, D-Anne Arundel, who introduced a bill in the House to change the lyrics of the state song to pay tribute to Maryland rather than express 'Confederate sympathies.'"

It is a fine song and we shouldn't allow these people to change it.
