I saw this a few minutes ago and I almost crapped my pants.
A "spanish" version of our "National Anthem" was made a few days ago.
When Bush was asked about this at a Rose Garden Press Conference he replied that he feels the anthem should only be sung in english.
I agree with him.
America (The U.S.) in particular was created to be an english speaking state. If one wants to be part of this nation and all that it entails then I agree they need to speak (and sing) the language which is so very much a part of this country.
I just hate it when I go to a restaurant and I hear the hispanic or the middle eastern people talking to their children and to each other in their native tounge. We are in America folks...which is an english speaking nation. That means when you are out in public...speak our national language. Save your ethnic tounge for when you are at home with your families.....like my grandparents did when I was a youth. They were polish and they spoke that tounge at home but they never did when they were out and about...
