National Anthem in Spanish????

What the hell is this garbage?? We as a nation have become little more than bleeding hearts for others. While I agree with helping people that want to immigrate to this country with jobs, housing, etc. but I feel we have pushed it too far to accommodate them. First, they do not have to learn our language, ENGLISH! That should be a prerequisite as with anything else. In order to find a job in this country, one should know the English language fluently. Second, our tax-payer's dollars are spent on bi-lingual signage. Third, the State of California provides FREE medical care to Immigrant Workers. They work here, take our money to their country (many immigrant workers keep their families back home in Mexico) yet they can bring them here for FREE medical care while we have to pay extravigant insurance costs. There is something seriously wrong with that picture.

Now, they want to translate the National Anthem for them! No other country in the world has done this. Might as well get rid of the American Flag for chrissakes and fly whatever flag they want. Hey, let's just GIVE our country back to them and then some. The more we give away the store, the less we will be a sovereign nation and that, gentlereader is an unacceptable situation. Prejudice, you say? How do you justify giving away the store to someone who thumbs his nose up at you in the process??

Quite frankly, I believe that when Francis Scott Key wrote "The Star Spangled Banner," he had intended it to remain in English. Otherwise, surely he would have written it in other languages. The poem was written to match the meter of the English song, "To Anacreon in Heaven." In 1931 the Congress of The United States of America enacted legislation that made "The Star-Spangled Banner" the official national anthem... IN ENGLISH!

If you want to come to work in this country, then by God, become a Citizen! Contribute to society like the rest of us by paying your taxes AND insurance. I think it is desecration (sp?) to, in essence, GIVE them our National Anthem. It was written in English and should remain that way, officially. If you want to translate it into your own tongue and sing it to yourself that way, then by all means. However, know the English version, at least out of respect for the country that gave you all these things that you take home to your families in your own country.
