What are your views on the U.S. National Anthem in spanish?

I believe that it is divisive to sing the song in another language.  But what I don't understand is why 2 british guys are behind the production?  Anyways, if the spanish speaking people want to sing a patriot song about the USA why don't they write a new one?

the national anthem of the Netherlands\n\n1. William of Nassau, \nI am of Germanic blood, \nDedicate undying \nFaith to this land of mine. \nA prince I am, undaunted, \nOf Orange, ever free, \nTo the king of Spain I've granted \nA lifelong loyalty. \n\n2. I 've ever tried to live in \nThe fear of God's command \nAnd therefore I've been driven, \nFrom people, home, and land, \nBut God, I trust, will rate me \nHis willing instrument \nAnd one day reinstate me \nInto my government. \n\n3. Let no despair betray you, \nMy subjects true and good. \nThe Lord will surely stay you \nThough now you are pursued. \nHe who would live devoutly \nMust pray God day and night \nTo throw His power about me \nAs champion of your right. \n\n4. Life and my all for others \nI sacrificed, for you! \nAnd my illustrious brothers \nProved their devotion too. \nCount Adolf, more's the pity, \nFell in the Frisian fray, \nAnd in the eternal city \nAwaits the judgement day. \n\n5. I, nobly born, descended \nFrom an imperial stock. \nAn empire's prince, defended \nBraving the battle's shock \nHeroically and fearless \nAs pious Christian ought\nWith my life's blood the peerless \nGospel of God our Lord. \n\n6. A shield and my reliance, \nO God, Thou ever wert. \nI'll trust unto Thy guidance. \nO leave me not ungirt. \nThat I may stay a pious \nServant of Thine for aye \nAnd drive the plagues that try us \nAnd tyranny away. \n\n7. My God, I pray thee, save me \nFrom all who do pursue \nAnd threaten to enslave me, \nThy trusted servant true. \nO Father, do not sanction \nTheir wicked, foul design, \nDon't let them wash their hands in \nThis guiltless blood of mine. \n\n8. O David, thou soughtest shelter \nFrom King Saul's tyranny. \nEven so I fled this welter \nAnd many a lord with me. \nBut God the Lord did save me \nFrom exile and its hell \nAnd, in His mercy, gave him \nA realm in Israel. \n\n9. Fear not 't will rain sans ceasing \nThe clouds are bound to part. \nI bide that sight so pleasing \nUnto my princely heart, \nWhich is that I with honor \nEncounter death in war, \nAnd meet in heaven my Donor, \nHis faithful warrior. \n\n10. Nothing so moves my pity \nAs seeing through these lands, \nField, village, town and city \nPillaged by roving hands. \nO that the Spaniards rape thee, \nMy Netherlands so sweet, \nThe thought of that does grip me \nCausing my heart to bleed. \n\n11. A stride on steed of mettle \nI've waited with my host \nThe tyrant's call to battle, \nWho durst not do his boast. \nFor, near Maastricht ensconced, \nHe feared the force I wield. \nMy horsemen saw one bounce it \nBravely across the field. \n\n12. Surely, if God had willed it, \nWhen that fierce tempest blew, \nMy power would have stilled it, \nOr turned its blast from you \nBut He who dwells in heaven, \nWhence all our blessings flow, \nFor which aye praise be given, \nDid not desire it so. \n\n13. Steadfast my heart remaineth \nIn my adversity \nMy princely courage straineth \nAll nerves to live and be. \nI've prayed the Lord my Master \nWith fervid heart and tense \nTo save me from disaster \nAnd prove my innocence. \n\n14. Alas! my flock. To sever \nIs hard on us. Farewell. \nYour Shepherd wakes, wherever \nDispersed you may dwell, \nPray God that He may ease you. \nHis Gospel be your cure. \nWalk in the steps of Jesu \nThis life will not endure. \n\n15. Unto the Lord His power \nI do not confession make \nThat ne'er at any hour \nIll of the King I spake. \nBut unto God, the greatest \nOf Majesties I owe \nObedience first and latest, \nFor Justice wills it so.\n\n"The Wilhelmus" as the anthem is known, has 15 eight-line verses (the first and sixth verses make up the official anthem). Based on older songs, the Wilhelmus takes the form of an acrostic on the name of William of Orange, the leader of the Dutch revolt against Philip II of Spain.\n\nSo I guess this guy kick the King of Spain's a$$ and &quot

Well it sounds great with 1907 standards, one nation one language this all good; as long as it does not keep going into one religion, one leader, one race, just like it did in Germany under Hitler just a few decades after Teddy said these things. I have no doubt, if he was alive today he would tweak his idea and rhetoric according to what happened in the last 100 years. I am not Hispanic but I know that Spanish was spoken in parts of US way before English was adopted as an official language (just a few votes ahead of German and Dutch by the way), are you going to kick them out because they have been speaking Spanish since before the US was founded?

Some EDUCATIONAL Reading For Citizens\n\nhttp://www.newswithviews.com/Devvy/kidd185.htm\n\nI have friends who live in the Phoenix area that speak fluent Spanish. Over the weekend before the big marches on April 10, 2006, Spanish speaking radio was sending this message: "Hide what's in your heart today. We know in your heart your allegiance is to Mexico, but today use your head. Americans were upset about Mexican flags and our show of solidarity for reconquista. Now we must wear white shirts and wave the American flags being handed out. It will be difficult because we know in your heart your love is for Mexico, but hide it today."

I think you mean, changing?\nThis is the Spanish version of the Star Spangled Banner, not the illegal immigrants.

You know you are right i think it was a horrible thing that those Hispanics did. I'm Hispanic too but i think that there are just some things you can not mess with and the national anthem is one of those. They come here for work and a better life for their kids.

They not only changed the National Anthem 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. \n\nI am tired of the stereotype that Americans wouldn't do the work that illegals do. Illegals do all kinds of jobs for less than minimum wage which drives the wages down for U.S. citizens. Construction jobs are an example. There are lots of illegals doing construction jobs that Americans used to do because the companies can keep more of the profits if they pay less for the workers. All that does is make companies wealthier and Americans poorer. Illegals are stealing jobs that Americans have done for years.

You also rarely hear your national anthem.  We are a country that is proud of every aspect of it.  We fought for what we have.  We live in a society that teaches us to be proud of where we live and respect where we are from.  The flag is a symbol of our freedom.  It is way more than just a flag to us.  I realize that is something that you may not understand.  The stars and stripes of the flag all represent something.   The 13 stripes represent the original 13 colonies and the 50 stars represent the 50 states.  It isn't "just a flag" it is a symbol of who we are and how we got to be that.  :)

Well, I wouldn't say it bothers me, mostly because the US dosen't have an official language. I think it may bother some people who are afraid of change, because if enough spanish speaking immigrants come into the country, enough to make Spanish speaking americans the majority, then everything would be in Spanish, and people would have to learn a new language.\nMakes me wish I had taken Spanish instead of French in HS.

It is exactly what it is, the Pledge of allegiance to the flag! The anthem and the pledge are two different things, one you obviously pledge your allegiance to as an American, the other is the anthem which is our national "song" so to speak, which you abide by as an American citizen as well.  It's what 'Hail to the Queen" is to our Canadian neighbors..got it?
