U.S.Anthem now in Espagnol !!
Fellow MLU'ers in the Great Republic of the U.S.A. ,
It appears your beautiful and I say. sacred anthem,penned by Francis Scott Key,is now translated into spanish,with some changes on the words,something about illegals being happy and free to go about their affairs.Wasn't there a ground roots push last year to make California bilingual(english and spanish)?? !!.It's been pointed out that hispanics are the majority race in your country,with black people second,then whites..Now,up here in the Great White North,we've come to live with a bilingual anthem,because of our two founding languages.President Bush just commented on TV that if you want to be an American,learn the anthem in english,as it was penned.Good for him. Any input on your part. Buenos dias mi amigos. |

Good for Georgie!! Now if he would only pass a law stating that the anthem must be sung as it was written not in the rap, blues, wanky way most of these so called singers do it now. Being a Canadian I would put our anthem as number 1 of course and then the US at number 2 and the old USSR at number 3. It just drives me absolutely nuts everytime I watch a baseball, hockey or football game and these wack jobs ruin the US anthem. Why do they have to drag out the words and see how many times their voices can go up and down the scales in the first words (Oh say can you see).? Sing it right and learn the words or just have an orchestra play it. Salute, or hold your hand over your heart and sing along. Now the crowds can't recognize what is being sung and don't know whether to stand up, sit down or go to the cra**er.
Cheers, Barry

Can You Wonder Why
I had wondered when this would come up. This has not
been well recieved down here.Since the marches of the past few weeks attuides have changed,it is almost openly hostile now. The 5th of May is coming or Cinco de Mayio the celebration of mexican independance day. It could very well mean riots. This old boy is heading north to the big pines. Patrick |

Gee Gary you must have been talking to Janet. When I sing in the shower the German Shepherd, Chimo and the Rottweiler, Duke, both start to howl. I maintain they are just joining me but Janet says it is actually a protest. I do know all the words though to our anthem and the US one. Another rant I have is all the people in the crowd talking or scratching their a##es while the anthems are played. How much of an attention span do some of these people have? We as Canadians or Americans are loosing our identity fast enough as it is. Lets keep something sacred. I would put this in smaller print if I could but as an aside I still wish they sang God Save The Queen in schools. Our veterans have fought for our freedom but now it is being eroded by!!!(I guess I can't say it on this forum else Geoff's house is bombed or something equally horrendous). Stop by my place Gary and we can sing the anthems together. That might drive the coyotes out of my bush.
Cheers, Barry

geez i COULD REMEBER A FEW YEARS BACK YOU CANUCKS BOO'D OUR ANTHEM AT A HOCKEY GAME. But i'd rather take a boo than a Latin backed anthem anyday. Also the "Great white north" I would take a Latin over a FROG . Just my opinion. Cheers

le rant
I think maybe the anthem was booed 'cause it was sung in English It was Montreal after all.
It's changing out west as well. Richmond is now little Hong Kong. So much so that us caucasions are being ignored in some of the shopping areas. What used to be called Vancouver, B.C. (British Columbia) is now called Vancouver, Canada. One of the military service organizations had to remove the word "Royal" from their name. Quebec is allowed to entrench culture and language rights but English Canada has to take second stage lest we offend the multicultural rights of new immigrants. Kids used to sing Christmas carols in school. I think it's all a plot to weaken English Canada and allow Quebec to separate Then again times change, after all our soldiers used to march into battle shoulder to shoulder wearing bright red uniforms with targets on them. |

US anthem in espanol
Tony makes a good point . Cause we just send boat load after boat load of our $$$ out of our country we're making a fat cat out of the Chi-Comms . Thus their need for increased crude shipments of late . Their economy , if that's what one calls it , is going thru expansion they prob never dreamed of . This is what we Americans get for having weak politicians in both parties & not interferring with Slick Willy and Madeline Albright back in the mid 90's who gave the Chi-Comms "Most Favored Nation Status".
One point re Illegals : It is not they take jobs that a US citizen won't take , it is that they take jobs that no US worker could support his family on . Cheers ,Johnnie . |
