Star Spangled Banner en Espanol - why not?

[UTUSN]

O say, can you see, by the dawn's early light,
What so proudly we hail'd at the twilight's last gleaming?
Whose broad stripes and bright stars, thro' the perilous fight,
O'er the ramparts we watch'd, were so gallantly streaming?
And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof thro' the night that our flag was still there.
O say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?

Oye, puedes ver, por la luz de la madrugana
Lo que orgujesamente saludamos a la
Los rayos y estrellas, dentro la peligrosa peleja
Sobre las paredes Miriam’s, tan valiente

Y la rojo de los quetes, las bombas explotando en el aire
Dieron prueba por la noche que nuesra bandera persecution
O-ye, todavia papalote
Sobre la tierra de los libre, y la casa de los valiente?

Hispanics, FYI our more ignorant friends on the Right, have proportionally received more Medals of Honor than any other ethnic group.

3. Some say I can't play the blues on my harp cause I am white

Music comes from someones heart and not from someones skin.

4. Personally, I don't care.

The truth has shown this nation is just as bloody and unmerciful to those who needed help the most as any previous imperial power. I have more faith in people than in any notion of nationalism.

5. Actually,

shouldn't our National Anthem be in the languages of the Native Americans from whom we stole this land?

9. I have zero problem with this... it's OBVIOUS why GOP is doing this!

Illegal immigration is the NEW gay marriage for the next election, and in 2008. They have found a new scapegoat, a new way to rally the hateful around them.. that illusion that illegal aliens are running through our neighborhoods stealing jobs. The reality is, our jobs are over in New Delhi right now.. and in Mexico, and corporate America is more to blame for ALL OF THIS. Stop the jobs here and they will stop coming. Work with Mexico to create a fair and decent economy for workers and they will stop coming.

I'm certain my Dutch and Czech relatives that came here in the 20s didn't know English for quite a while.. my Great Grandma spoke Czech most of the time.. I'd have no problem if they sung the anthem in their language, they'd be proud to. Bush is creating a new enemy that he can rally the pinheads around.
