President Bush sorta gets a language issue right
U.S. President George Bush has criticized a new Spanish-language version of the American national anthem.
The anti-American reacted in its typical understated way:
So, what is President Bush's solution to all of these brown people who dare to sing his national anthem in their native languages? Send them soldiers and bombs and McDonald's and Kentucky Fried Chicken and demand that they form a new government? Cut out their tongues so they can't sing at all?
Of course, there is an agenda here:
A remix to be released in June contains several lines in English that condemn U.S. immigration laws. Among them: "These kids have no parents, cause all of these mean laws ... let's not start a war with all these hard workers, they can't help where they were born."
Now that President Bush has discovered the virtues of English, will he do something practical, like repealing Clinton Executive Order 13166? Faith without works is dead.
