Hardly a valid argumentative counterpoint. Nobody alive knows exactly what Key intended.

From Snopes - "In fairness, it has also been argued that Key may have intended the phrase as a reference to the British Navy’s practice of impressment (kidnapping sailors and forcing them to fight in defense of the crown), or as a semi-metaphorical slap at the British invading force as a whole (which included a large number of mercenaries), though the latter line of thinking suggests an even stronger alternative theory — namely, that the word “hirelings” refers literally to mercenaries, and “slaves” refers literally to slaves. It doesn’t appear that Francis Scott Key ever specified what he did mean by the phrase, nor does its context point to a single, definitive interpretation."

So that happened. And the most snide sports commentator the Chicago Tribune has called for the release of the names of the idiots. But a reader came up with an excellent idea and the result was really great! http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/rosenblog/ct-spt-smith-pelly-blackhawks-capitals-donations-rosenbloom-20180223-story.html

That's mean. Lots of work to do makes the day go by faster. Otherwise it will seem like the clock never moves.

It's hot because you have it toasted/heated. There's never been enough pepper on it to make it "hot".
