An Anthem’s Discordant Notes
Spanish Version of ‘Star-Spangled Banner’ Draws Strong Reactions

This is an outrageous, somehow politically correct step. Its not even a direct translation!

There are plenty of other links than the CNN article available, all to suit your needs. Along with this border security and immigration reform queso, this is un-freaking-believable!

You still want to allow illegal immigrants to become legalized? They’re going to have their own language version of our National Anthem. Maybe there will other Hispanic language changes to historic documents and American icons in the future! Just because 12 million people broke the rules, doesn’t make the rules wrong. This is un-freaking-believable!

And it isn’t just me. President Bush has finally come down on the right side of an immigration issue!

Bush Enters Anthem Fight on Language
President Bush has never been shy about speaking Spanish in public, and he is known to love all kinds of music: country, folk and even Tex-Mex style rock. But one thing you will not find on his iPod: "Nuestro Himno," the new Spanish version of the national anthem that was released on Friday as part of the growing immigrants’ rights movement.

Asked at a news briefing in the Rose Garden on Friday whether he believed the anthem would have the same value in Spanish as it did in English, Mr. Bush said flatly, "No, I don’t."

"And I think people who want to be a citizen of this country ought to learn English," Mr. Bush said. "And they ought to learn to sing the national anthem in English."
