They not only changed it to spanish, they changed the words. They already burn or flag and hang our flag upside down. They waved the Mexican flag during a lot of their protests. Some schools have stopped hanging the American flag and forbidden students from wearing clothes with any part of the American flag on their clothing all to keep from offending the Mexicans. It's nothing short of an attack of our country, not only by the illegal aliens, but those who seek to appease them.

If it's the American National Anthem, then of coarse it should be sung in English. English is our national language, like it or not.

"God Save The Queen" is the British national anthem. There isn't an English national anthem. And just to confuse things, "Rule Britannia" is the national anthem of Great Britain (as opposed to the British National Anthem). No, I don't get it either.\n\n"God Save The Queen" needs a melody transplant. It's the most depressing sounding national anthem ever.\n\nFierce patriotism isn't necessarily a good thing. Hitler demanded it of the German people from 1933-1945.\n\nAnd now I'm going to go and audition for "Grumpy Old Men".

it seems to me that if i moved to say.... china, and i really loved living there, and loved china, i wouldnt take the chinese anthem and do it in english. i'd want to honor the chinese anthem as it was.  \n\nthat said, i'm not moving to china any time soon. and every one in the US has a right to do whatever they want, but it seems that the anthem should be in English, as thats how the original poem it came from was written. just my opinion

Easiest way to change it "I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands indivisible with liberty and justice for all."  Simply removing the "under God" barely even interupts the rhythm of the pledge and makes it non-exclusionary.

I'm not sure but you sure caused me to think. Why would they raise their flag in our country? This is turning very weird lately, huh?

No. People just cant come to our country and change it to better them. Its been this way and we should not change b/c of them. Its a free country so you have a choose not to say it.

I think that the National Anthem should be sung ONLY in English because that is our common language.\n\nI do, however, think that if the people want to recite it in Spanish. Hebrew, Chineese or whatever language they chose, then so be it as long as the main anthem is in English.\n\nWhy should the USA give up it's culture to please everyone else.\nOne day we will learn you can not please everyone.  And attmpting to please everyone you will please no one.

true story - a couple of years ago i went to a minor league ball game. the words to the star spangled banner were displayed on the big scoreboard and the lyrics were messed up, but 6000 some people sang right along with the wrong lyrics! but during the 7th inning stretch, EVERYBODY was singing along with the spongebob theme song and all the words were correct! this happened in eastlake, ohio. are we in trouble as a society when we don't know the words to the national anthem, but we know all the lyrics to cartoon theme songs?

No, the only way to change it is give them negative feedback on it.\n\nBut honestly, it was time for a change.

This is a neat site that has the lyrics to the song to the official Canadian Anthem and all the history about the origins of the music. Not being Canadian I didn't realize that it had gone through so many changes...we both learned something I guess.\nhttp://www.pch.gc.ca/progs/cpsc-ccsp/sc-cs/anthem_e.cfm#a2

just shows you how  much they care or know about our country,... maybe they should go through the legal channels and learn our ways and our laws before they attempt to sing a song that we as Americans cherish and love!!!

I agree, go change your own government if you don't like it-\nDO NOT SNEAK in here and try to change our government. If you want to have a say in our government, follow the rules, become a LEGAL citizen and VOTE. that is how we do it here, where we sing our National Anthem in English!\nNo I AM NOT a racist. It is the ILLEGAL part of the immigrant issue that bothers me.

ok u know what?... i'm going to be honest with u.. cause this is actually making me crazy!... i've been talking about this issues for more than weeks now..  had big arguments with my father because of this... my famyly came to the united states with visa.. after a couple of years the united states granted us the residence... to all this.. my parents had been paying taxes since they arrive to this country and decided to stay... this is the case for many people.. that dont actually are from MEXICO .. for your information and for many others that are going to read this.. let me tell u this... many people that happen to come to the united states are also from south america and central america... and many "north americans" tend to label everyone as MEXICANS... this bring disconfort to many people.. i think u should start thinking about how u think about this....\ni know many people that work and do a lot for this country's economy.. and i do agree that many people that want to be legal here don't deserve it... and those should be returned to their own country... \ni also think that many people living here need to get educated and realize that if they're going to protest for their legal status.. they shouldn't be taking their countries flag because of course.. we're talking about USA... not mexico, guatemala, el salvador and many other countries.. they came here.. they live here and they should learn to speak english and become civilized people... \ni also think that the idea of singing the national us anthem in spanish was a bad idea.. i know it was done with the best thoughts but i agree when they say that the anthem it's something that should be sang in the language of the country... i would feel offended by something like that too.. and i ask for an apology to those that agree with me...
