Were USA Citizens as irate as I was at hearing the "Star Spangled Banner" mangled in Spanish?

I know that many are ... if you choose a country to live in then you should learn that language.  \n\n(SORRY TO ALL NATIVE AMERICANS THAT THE ENGLISH/EARLY EUROPEAN AMERICANS BARRED FROM SPEAKING THEIR NATIVE LANGUAGE)

It didn't help at all. Think about it, Mexicans are marching in American streets chanting in Spanish, draping themselves in the Mexican flag, and dragging and stomping the American flag(yes, they stomped on the American flag, I saw footage of it from one of the protests). This is supposed to gather support from Americans. It solidified my postion against illegals. \n\nP.S. A Latino is one of Latin American decent or related to Spain.

Yes, he speaks Spanish much better than most Americans, and he's a friend of my President's. Good enough. Other than that, he's a moronic despotic fraud. Thank you for your attention and my two points.

I agree with you 100%! If you speak your mind , you're considered insensitive and racist! My great-grandparents came here , got a job, learned English, respected the customs and didn't ask for hand outs unlike the millions today!! It's sad really and more "real" Americans should stand up and take our country back but they won't! They just sit there and take it! I went to a immigration protest and the "illegals" out numbered us 20 to 1! Time to take it back!!

I am a U.S citizen by birth and know exactly what you mean. The U.S at one time was the "land of the free" but no more.\nWhen I point out the U.S. isn't so free anymore, more likely than not I am met with knee jerk hostility and hear some programmed phrase like, "the U.S. is the best country in the world, we have every freedom here, etc." Americans are so stupid. And their lack of THEIR own history not to mention the history of the world is sickening.

Wow. Before you jump to any conclusions, think about the fact that a huge population of US Citizens consider Spanish to be their first language.. As a nation proud of our diversity, maybe you should think twice about throwing out their Cd's and consider the fact that patriotism in any language should be encouraged.\n\n     As far as the artists are concerned, Olga Tanon is a Puerto Rican (and thus a defacto US National) who has won numerous Grammy Awards, Latin Grammy Awards, Premio Lo Nuestro Awards, Billboard Music Awards and had at least two albums go Platinum. Wyclef Jean is a well known hip hop artist probably best known as the lead singer of The Fugees, although he originally hailed from Haiti.\nIvy Queen, another Puerto Rican, is well known in the world of Reggaeton. Carlos Ponce moved from Puerto Rico to Miami with his family over twenty years ago. He is a singer, actor (recurring role on 7th Heaven, currently in Lindsay Lohan's Just My Luck) and a correspondent for "Entertainment Tonight". Those are only a few of the "famous" artists...\n\n       Just a piece of advise: open your eyes, America is not a homogeneous society. Instead of wasting your time being angry that someone may want to express their patriotism in a manner which you do not understand, embrace it. \n\n     As Shakespeare put it, "A rose by any other name would smell as sweet"

I have many ways to eloquently prove my points or rant and rave like a lunatic to feel better...but I can't possibly make a better point than one that I saw on the news today.\n\nIn Montebello, California...students from another school had ditched class....again....and went to Montebello High School to try and get the students out of that school to run amok in the streets, but none of the students from Montebello came out.\n\nThose punk a** kids who do not deserve to be here had the nerve to take down the American flag...and then put it back up UPSIDE down. WHAT THE????? Talk about a slap in the face of the very nation they are trying to live in and gain rights in...they just proved what I have believed all along. Someone that comes here and pays no attention or respect for the laws of the US will have no respect for the US as a nation and will have no allegiance. THEY CANNOT BE TRUSTED! THEY DON'T GIVE A RIP ABOUT THE US EXCEPT WHAT THEY CAN GET OUT OF US!\n\nDon't get me started!

HELL NO!!! You can think Iam a racist biggot if you want..I don't care. Do you think I could move to Mexico City and DEMAND ANYTHING?? Much less demand RIGHTS?  Of course not!!! Especially when someone is here Illegally how many rights are they actually entitled to? NONE!! Iam sick and Fuck*ing tired of going to the grocery store and picking up a box of something and having to turn it over 2 or 3 times to find where it's written in english. DO they have half the Shi*t written in english on there products in mexico?? Hell No Would they start printing every thing in english to accomodate me or anyone else english speaking? HELL NO! SOme (not all) don't pay taxes cause they work for cash. And to top it all off some Beaner re-wrote the national anthem in SPANISH so some Illegal wet-backs can sing it in spanish. They breed like rabbits, Let their kids run around in the stores like goons, can't speak the language, and drive around with no car insurance and stolen social security numbers  and I know what iam talking about I live in Texas BEANER CAPITAL OF THE WORLD.....F*UCK EM' They need to go home.  As far as the flag waving goes the bastards don't deserve to carry the american one. And need to go home to mexico if they are gonna carry their flag...

I guess you missed the mobs of mexicans marching with the mexican flag and also carring the US flag upside down and chanting viva mexico while they are in the US,let me remind you,many families have lost family members or friends in past wars defending this country it's people and what our flag stands for,and here come a bunch of illegal boneheads that mooch off our country and desecrate our flag,why do you question the US citizens hate toward this ungrateful idiots

Yes...they are very nervous, the "demonstrations", the disrespect of the flag, the "everything" was a colossal mis calculation on the part of the illegals and their supporters. Talk about open foot insert mouth. Nobody gets away with trying to strong arm the Americans, the concept alone makes me laugh. They were so blatantly cocky and egotistic that they have no idea how to even start damage control. This attempt at trying to intimidate American politicians is weak and reeks of a last ditch effort to salvage some respect for their cause. Illegals do not have the voting power (or right) to make any changes at all. America should speak with ONE voice (which should be in English). America should have diversity in it's people but unity in it's culture. America is not served well by having radical ethnic groups trying to lobby on behalf of people who have committed an offense against a principal law of a nation, namely it's sovereignty. Especially when that very country provides a legitimate and formal welcome.

NEVER!!!! And i think the idiots that did that to our flag,should have had the SAME THING done to them!!!!!!!!!!! I don't care what country they're from!! \n\n The flag is not just some piece of cloth!!!!  It's the flag of our country! A lot of people have fought and died for what that flag represents!!! The ILLEGALS that flew the mexican flag during the marches,and the IDIOTS who flew our flag upside down under the mexican flag ,well it's a wonder sombody didn't get SHOT for that stunt!!!!! \n\nAnd,IF i wanted to move to another country,i SURE AS HELL wouldn't be desecrating their flag!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I would not DARE to march in their streets and DEMAND to be given "rights"!!!!!\n\nAnd,if i was STUPID enough to do something that crazy,then i would NOT blame the citizens of that country for hating me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, since we're really not serious about immigration enforcement, that is not going to happen.  But what it IS going to do is to rally opposition to the cause they're advocating.  The moronic Spanish language version of "Our Anthem" is now seen as the battle hymn in what is turning into a potential civil war.

BECAUSE ENGLISH IS THE OFFICIAL LANGUAGE OF THE U.S.!!!THAT'S WHY!!! C'mon, get real. Next my kid is gonna have to bilingually recite the pledge of allegiance. Except for the line about under God, because the left wing politically correct weenies won't allow that. A spanish version of the national anthem...Nope. Just doesn't work for me.

Good man! I'm gonna copy that link and send it around! Thanks, Brother - never mind these others - they won't understand until America is a Spanish speaking country.

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?
