		<description>&quot;The Latino-oriented record label Urban Box Office (UBO) said Saturday it plans to release the new version of &quot;The Star-Spangled Banner&quot; to coincide with the U.S. Senate&#039;s debate on immigration legislation in the next few days.

&quot;We chose to re-record &#039;The Star-Spangled Banner&#039; to show our solidarity with the undocumented immigrants and their quest for basic civil rights&quot; UBO President Adam Kidron said in a news release.

The recording, dubbed &quot;Nuestro Himno&quot; or &quot;Our Anthem.&quot; 

The song will be primarily in Spanish with a few words sung in English.  It contains references to &quot;mean laws&quot; and kind of sounds like a left wing anthem...  They totally bastardized our anthem

 

~~~This infuriates me ~~  Basic rights are violated by not offering amnesty to ~foreigners who enter our country illegally and break the law? ~~  Don&#039;t these Mexicans understand that they are not Americans unless the LAW says they are?  ~~if they are illegal immigrants ~~ they are not American ~~ and they do NOT have to benefit from US civil rights ~~ they have to be deported   ~~  And what is the deal about recording the Star Spangled Banner in Spanish?  ~~Is that showing you accept and respect the USA where English is the official language?  ~~ This is even worse than waving Mexican flags everywhere in American streets~~  

The lack of respect for our country from these people is mindboggling 

~~  And this demonstrates that even legal immigrants have a greater respect and acceptance for their original home country ~~ and a total disrespect for our country and especially US laws ~~

 

~~~check this satirical piece

If You&#039;re Planning a Vacation in Mexico, Don&#039;t Forget To Write to Vincente Fox 


To the President and Government of Mexico: 

I&#039;m about to plan a little trip with my family, and I would like to ask you to assist me. I&#039;m going to walk across the border from the U.S. into Mexico, and I need to make a few arrangements. I know you can help with this. I plan to skip all the legal stuff like visas, passports, immigration quotas and laws. I&#039;m sure they handle those things the same way you do here. So, I will be expecting the following: 

Free medical care for my entire family.

English-speaking government bureaucrats for all services I might need.

All government forms need to be printed in English.

I want my kids to be taught by English-speaking teachers.

Schools need to include classes on American culture and history.

I want my kids to see the American flag flying over the Mexican flag at their school.

Please plan to feed my kids at school for both breakfast and lunch.

I will need a local Mexican driver&#039;s license so I can get easy access to government services.

I do not plan to have any car insurance, and I won&#039;t make any effort to learn local traffic laws.

In case one of the Mexican police officers does not get the memo from Pres. Fox to leave me alone, please be sure that all police officers speak English.

I would also like to have a nice job without paying any taxes.

Please tell all the people in the country to be extremely nice and never say a critical word about me, or about the strain I might place on the economy.

I know this is an easy request because you are good neighbors to the U.S. 

Thank you so much for your kind help.</description>

		<description>What I find amusing is the league of lefties here decrying the administration for posting up propaganda and ..lies, yet as with the Jon Secada information, you can see left wing bloggers are very &#039;liberal&#039; with the truth, often just printing all-out lies.

		<description>&quot;The administration chose this point of view in response to Nuevo Hymno because they wanted to appear strong on something. Just like they chose to stir up xenophobia towards immigrants in order to distract people from Iraq, the most misguided, misconducted war in our proud history.&quot;

If you bothered to educate yourself, you&#039;d realize that Bush is for amnesty and increasing legal immigration drastically.  He&#039;s not trying to &quot;strir up xenophobia towards immigrants,&quot; he is trying to quell the concerns of his base.  Get a clue.</description>

		<description>OK, I don&#039;t get what you&#039;re trying to accomplish over here.  But as a conservative opposed to the President&#039;s open borders policy, I hope you continue.  

Yes, pointing out the &quot;hypocrisy&quot; hurts Bush.  But it also hurts the liberal immigration reform Bush is for.  I guess you&#039;ve made up your mind which is more important.

Alas, it looks like the point is moot since none of this apparently happened.  Darn!  Bush has, however, campaigned in Spanish, gives his weekly radio address in Spanish, and the WH website has a Spanish version.  It does seem odd, then, to draw the line at the anthem.</description>

		<description>Not a word from you good progressives about the Washington Post&#039;s miserable failure to inform its public. 


&lt;blockquote&gt;White House spokesmen and former campaign operatives said they could not recall whether that happened, though given the level of Bushâ€™s Spanish proficiency, they seemed dubious.

â€œHonestly, I donâ€™t remember him ever singing the national anthem in Spanish,â€ said Leonard Rodriguez....&quot;&lt;/blockquote&gt;


Well, I guess that proves it.

The collusion between the press and the interests that have seized control of the U.S. Government is far more dangerous than anything Bush can do.</description>

		<description>I think the broader point of this &quot;controversy&quot; is not that it&#039;s a sign of wholesale hypocrisy, but of wholesale &lt;b&gt;incompetence&lt;/b&gt;.  The administration chose this point of view in response to Nuevo Hymno because they wanted to appear strong on something.  Just like they chose to stir up xenophobia towards immigrants in order to distract people from Iraq, the most misguided, misconducted war in our proud history.  The fact that it&#039;s blowing up in their face is just poetic justice, given that they somehow managed to portray certain POWs and decorated combat veterans as cowardly compared to certain AWOL National Guardsmen and draft-dodgers.

When they&#039;re not being diabolical, they&#039;re being idiotic.  This is an instance of the latter.  We&#039;re seeing an administration that is desparately trying to do achieve something before the 2006 election, and failing.</description>

		<description>I still wonder how this debate is helpful to the cause, but it does remind us of the craven way the Bush gang deals with simple truths and the astonishing complicity of the Post.

Meantime, for those wondering &quot;what&#039;s up&quot; with the stubborn few that still support the liar in chief, news from a new poll:

&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.eyewitnessmuse.com/musings.php?p=219&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Bush Solidifies Base: Tongues wag as 32% of U.S. turns into pillars of salt.&lt;/a&gt;

EWM- (May 2, 2006) The nation is reeling over a poll released today that shows the 32 percent of Americans that still approve of the president have turned into pillars of salt.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I still wonder how this debate is helpful to the cause, but it does remind us of the craven way the Bush gang deals with simple truths and the astonishing complicity of the Post.</p>
<p>Meantime, for those wondering &#8220;what&#8217;s up&#8221; with the stubborn few that still support the liar in chief, news from a new poll:</p>

		<description>&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;I hope this is the last thread on this subject&lt;/strong&gt;, because the coming war on Iran needs to be covered more, and the economy is collapsing fast as well! Bush and Cheney are proven liars, so everything they spew is bogus crap!

I agree - anyone who has even the most tentative grasp on reality know that Bush is a liar... one more example of him lying isn&#039;t going to convince anyone of this fact who hasn&#039;t already arrived at this very obvious truth.

Lets get back to the important issues... you know the big lies.</description>

		<description>This whole thing just reinforces that the Bush Regime is full of hypocrisy! They say one thing and do the opposite and then deny they are hypocrites &gt; lol. Americans are tired of politicians in DC lying to them on a daily basis, so Bush and Cheney must resign or be impeached!</description>

		<description>&lt;em&gt;Everything they do is based on their belief that you, you and you , and I are a bunch of one eyebrowed, basement dwelling, mouth breathers.&lt;/em&gt;

Problem is, they keep getting back into office here in this supposed democratic republic.  Sump&#039;n ain&#039;t right with that.
