Rated down. You just didn't take even one closer look... You just saw that he said something bad about America as it is now and automatically went do defense mode, disregarding the song's meaning entirely.

Look deeper. Daniel loves America. The America of old. The America of "Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, the wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me. I lift my lamp beside the golden door!" The America of "We hold these truths to be...
Look deeper. Daniel loves America. The America of old. The America of "Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, the wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me. I lift my lamp beside the golden door!" The America of "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, [...] with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness."
He is begging you only to ask yourself one thing: Is modern America still "the land of the free and home of the brave"? Going deeper into that: Does the Star-spangled Banner, representing each state as a white star(clear of guilt for grievous wrong-doings), combined with the red stripes of valor and honor and the white stripes(once again bringing to mind purity and innocence), still wave over the policies of the federation of free countries that make up the United States? Does it still deserve the white stripes of innocence, or should they be turned "dollar" green, "oil" black, and "blood" red? And in the end... Do the American people really not care that their ideals, the thoughts that they've been taught to have since they were little kids, their most revered texts, such as The Constitution, The Declaration of Independence, and the first ten amendments to the Constitution known as The Bill of Rights are being raped by stupid, greedy, scared little shits(sorry for being vulgar, but nothing else gives the meaning I wish in such concise form) with nothing on their minds but "How to stuff as much cash in our wallets as possible, before somebody notices and kicks us out?"?
The time is up. The people, some, like Daniel Gildenlow, from the outside, some, like Stephen Lynch for example, from inside the States, have opened their eyes and see how wrong things have become. They're trying to wake the others, those who don't see it yet, up.
To finish this rant... I'll quote Benjamin Franklin and the most famous paraphrase that will make things easier for those who don't like to analyze things too deeply:
"Sell not virtue to purchase wealth, nor Liberty to purchase power" or in other words "He who sacrifices freedom for security deserves neither and will lose them both."
P.S.: "There never was a good war or a bad peace." but "[...}Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.[...]"
