WE can't even get it right in English!

1. Not only that, but the US government COMMISSIONED

a Spanish version in the early years of the last decade.

I think this country is big enough and rich enough for all of us, no matter what language we speak.

We just have to steal it back from those few rich families.

2. I don't understand all the hoo-ha. Somebody wants to sing it in

Spanish, Urdu, Swahili, or Aramaic, how does that hurt me or anyone else?

Oh, I forgot how much the rightwingers like their tempests-in-a-teapot.

3. Wouldn't saying it in languages other than American English...

Be the ultimate sign of respect by people from other countries?

4. Why did that cop volunteer to sing the anthem?

Not only did he not know the words, he had a horrible singing voice.

5. He probably was volunteered.

6. I would have quickly unvolunteered myself

That was painful to watch.

7. At our memorial day ceremony

the singer, missed one entire verse and sang one line twice. I'd have rather heard it in Spanish...and in a key someone could sing it in.
