    There are plenty of American-born US citizens for whom English is not their first language. They should learn the anthem in English? I guess patriotic sentiments doesn't count unless it's in English?

    I think it's opening a pandora's box of sorts.

    My country sings our national anthem in both French & English. And even in both (Tho, I think it's fucking stupid to sing it in both, but whatever.)

    we should have someone re-write the words on the statue of liberty to this gem of a quote from our current prez:

    "I think the national anthem ought to be sung in English, and I think people who want to be a citizen of this country ought to learn English and they ought to learn to sing the national anthem in English."

    It would be one thing if someone was suggesting making a Spanish version the official version of the song or something, but he's actually objecting to someone who just recorded a version on a CD!! Plain and simple, the dude's just a fucking raging asshole who's pandering to his "base".

    not so sure about that, but it is a pretty petty thing to get riled up about

    if your a bigoted redneck, perhaps not.

    you don't see this as a smack in the face to all the immigrants who are productive members of society, but for whom english is a second language, and more so to those who are recent immigrants qho have not learned the language yet?

    here is the statement again:

    "I think the national anthem ought to be sung in English, and I think people who want to be a citizen of this country ought to learn English and they ought to learn to sing the national anthem in English."

    I would love to hear Bush's take on this:

    You dont have to be a bigoted redneck to agree with bush's remarks. You merely need a genuine concern for immigrant communities rather than a desire to pat yourself on the back for your 'cultural sensitivity'.

    since when the fuck do immigrants give a shit about singing the national anthem? how does anybody actually even care about this? pardon my forthrightness.

    no, you really do have to be a bigoted redneck. the president shouldn't be instructing immigrants that they "ought to learn" the national anthem in english. that is trivial at best. bush is running our country into the ground and he is worried about the national anthem. please. if you hadn't figured this out, bush got ripped by the right wing for his guest workers program, so now he is getting tough on immigration with this nonsense.

    by the way, i agree that immigrants should learn the english national anthem. i just think that on a list of priorities, it ranks somewhere between eating a philly cheesesteak and ice skating in rocefeller center. bush is an ass for making those remarks, bottom line.

    but honestly, is it really all that surprising to you? i mean shit if you made a big deal out of every stupid little thing that ass says and made a post about it, they'd have to change the name of this site to BushStrut instantly..

    respect, love, loyalty, gratitude and patriotism are now the dominion of the English language!

    i think a national anthem in many languages is a beautiful thing - i guess i'm just corny/Canadian.

    If you do not understand the importance of a strong national identity in ensuring social harmony, let alone the obvious practical benefits of speaking the language of the country in which you reside, then I havent got anything more to say to you.

    I thought the National Anthem was already in Spanish...

    Doesn't it start off... "Jose can you see"??

    really, you mean there are practical benefits to learning to speak english....hmmm.




    a strong national identity?? we are a country filled with immigrants. you can be patriotic and a valuable member of society without reciting the national anthem...in english.

    bush needs to .
