Vette(s): 1977 L-82 originally white/buckskin interior. Currently undergoing a frame-off resto. and modifications.YEEHAW!!!

Finally, I have to say BRAVO to our President, for growing a set when he had to, and telling the Hispanics in this country to finally shut up allready.

Who the hell do they think they are, to think that the anthem of this country will EVER be changed for whatever reason?

I hope this is the begining of a long list of shoot-downs for those wanting everything just because they're different.

Quick lesson, EVERYBODY IS DIFFERENT!!!!!!!

Sorry about that, and thanks for letting me vent.

Alan

I have a rant of my own concerning the Nation Anthem bs, but it would be heavily censored, so I just won't do it. Suffice to say......I'm not pleased at the "request".....and leave it at that. Thanks for bringin it up, Alan....I WAS having a Happy Birthday 'till you reminded me of the ridiculous "suggestion" from the mexican contingent......dangit! >:(

Joel,

 HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!

Sorry about bringing this up, but I was actually enraged when I heard this bullspit on the news. The nerve to actually demand this, when you aren't even a citizen.

ONLY IN AMERICA would anyone tolerate this!!!

If you demanded political change in Mexico, and you weren't a citizen, what do you think would happen to you?

Alan

Well, I hope he's not telling me to shut up...I voted for him.  Yes, this rendition of the Anthem irked quite a few of us, too.

I used to teasingly say Jose~ can you see.... NO MORE. If asked about our current State of the Union concerning hispanics I I believe no social security card, GO HOME or we will send you to Iraq.
You want a job in America? You want a right to share our freedom? Fight for it, pay for it, don't try to steal it.

In some instances we are already having to choose if we want to speak our language in our country.When you call some American companies,you get a recording saying if you want to continue in 'English',press #1.   -If the Mexicans want to be here so bad to take advantage of our way of life,why wouldnt they want to be legal citizens,learn our language,& support the very system they say they want to come here for? Instead,they break,the law,disrepect our National Anthem,& accuse us of racism & civil rights violations when we want them to obey the law

 Quote:-
"My ancestors weren't catered to with Italian or German versions of the National Anthem. No, they welcomed the opportunities this country made available to them by embracing their new home and its language and culture. Did they abandon all of their culture? No, but they assimilated, they blended in and their second generations were born Americans to the core, speaking English. Their cutlure merged with Irish, British, French, Slovak, Polish, etc, and small pieces of their cultures all became one AMERICAN culture. AND THEY ALL SANG THE ANTHEM IN ENGLISH!!! Honor your own heritage, fine, but realize you have to be willing to become an AMERICAN if you want to be treated like one. Enter legally, get a job, pay taxes, learn English or get the hell out. My country 'tis of thee, sweet land of liberty for legal immigrants and citizens only."
  ----"By the light of the dawn, do you see arising,
what we proudly hailed at twilight's last fall?
Its stars, its stripes
yesterday streamed
above fierce combat
a gleaming emblem of victory
and the struggle toward liberty.
Throughout the night, they proclaimed:
"We will defend it!"
Tell me! Does its starry beauty still wave
above the land of the free,
the sacred flag?
Its stars, its stripes,
liberty, we are the same.
We are brothers in our anthem.
In fierce combat, a gleaming emblem of victory
and the struggle toward liberty.
My people fight on.
The time has come to break the chains.
Throughout the night they proclaimed, "We will defend it!"
Tell me! Does its starry beauty still wave
above the land of the free,
the sacred flag? "

Francis Scott Key is rolling over in his grave right now.
I don't even like it when they sing it to a different tune.
This is our National Anthem for Pete's sake.
Isn't anything sacried anymore.
Thank God Bush is strong on this subject.
America. Love it or leave it.
