That would depend on how the Hispanics feel about the new American version of "Mexicanos, al grito de guerra" (Mexican National Anthem) which we will get Toby Keith to sing as a new B side to his hit record "Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue (The Angry American)".

This is an actual human translation, so it will probably be more accurate than those from online translators.\n\n\nYo escogí escribir sobre Puerto Rico porque lo me facina y quiero aprender más sobre esto país.  Escibiré sobre la gente y la religion de Puerto Rico.  Puerto Rico es un de las islas del mundo con la población mas larga, con más o menos 3.95 millones personas.  En esta isla, casi 33 por ciento de la gente viven cerca de las ciudades de San Juan, Carolina, y Bayamon.  La gente de esta isla representan una mezcla cultural y racial, y cuando los Estados Unidos lo obtenieron la isla en 1898, la influencia estadounidence adaptaba como parte de la cultura.\n\nPuertorriqueños están conocido para su hospitalidad y amabilidad a extranjeros.  Ellos están conocido la major para sus manos animados cuando están hablando.  Saludan a sus amigos y familia con un beso en la mejilla o con una combinación de un beso y un abrazo.  Puertorriqueños piensan que están americanos, pero ya están orgullosos de su isla y su cultura.  Usualmente se llaman “puertorriqueños” y no “americanos” y la familia tiene mucha importancia para ellos.\n\nEn Puerto Rico, 85 por ciento de la gente son católicos, y 8 por ciento son protestantes.  La mayoría de la gente son hispanicos.  Hay iglesias de muchos religiones en la isla.  La constitución promete libertad por todas las religiones.  La influencia de los colonos españoles ya es evidente en la predominio de la iglesia católica.  Menos de un siglo pasado, más de 90 por ciento de la población eran católicos.  En tiempos más recienta, causado por la inmigración de personas de las Estados Unidos, hay más personas que son protestantes.  Ahora casi 33 por ciento de la población son protestantes.

The National Anthem should be sung however we want to sing it. As Americans we should be proud of our freedom of speech, and anyone who wishes to sing the national anthem in Spanish, English, German, French or any other language for that matter should be able to do so.\n\nOn Friday, September 10, 1897 "some three hundred men assembled at Harwood, gathered a few American flags to display during their march, and set off for Lattimer. They proceeded peacefully and unarmed. In their view, they were simply expressing the American rights to assembly and free speech. Sheriff Martin received word of the procession and mobilized his deputies. As the column neared Hazleton they encountered Martin's posse. The sheriff drew his pistol, pointed it at the head of a marcher, and ordered them to disperse. They refused. A fight broke out. One of the deputies grabbed a flag and ripped it to pieces,"\n\nMore often than not those who have sacrificed and died for this country have been immigrants, and have fought hard. Let's not forget the Lattimer Mine massacre where so-called proud Americans yanked the American flag from the hands of immigrants, tore it and threw it on the ground to be trampled on. The question is "which of these two groups were the more patriotic? The immigrants who carried the flag or the non-immigrants who threw it on the ground? I know the answer I give to that question."\n\nThe reality is that no first generation of immigrants have ever successfully been able to learn English and it wasn't until the second generation that English was spoken among these immigrants. There were periods in our history where entire towns, streets, and areas of entire cities that no English was spoken or read. These people were hard working Americans who came here without any documentation. Some of my ancestors came down through Canada and did not have papers. It wasn't until they went to be naturalized that they ever had any official papers. The idea that there is such a thing as illegal immigration is strange and foreign and the result of bigotry.\n\nThe immigrants from Spanish speaking countries who have not and cannot (and this is a known fact from our history) learn English should be able to sing the National Anthem because they are Americans as much as my undocumented ancestors from Canada, England, and every other place in the world were Americans long before they were naturalized.

“you did it very good, peace of sh***”  pajuo doesn’t exist in Spanish exist: pajaro – bird, and pedazo – piece. I suppose this comment is sarcastic and an insult of course

Quite good, though try not to transalte literally. Most times, it doesn't work.\n\nHola. Soy estudiante de español, y acabo de escribir un parrafo en español y me gustaría que lo LEYESEN/LEYERAN y me DIESEN/DIERAN SU VALORACIÓN/OPINIÓN -especialmente los HISPANOHABLANTES, como POR EJEMPLO, SI hay frases extrañAs, ETC.. - no soy HISPANOHABLANTE y no tengo mucha fluidez. ( LA SIGUIENTE HISTORIA ES MÁS LARGA, pero hay un límite de palabras aquí.)\n\nDe repente Fernando, que estaba hablando por teléfono, se puso muy corpulento?!?!? y enojado y dijo, "No me digas eso, Juan, amigo. No me digas eso. Cuando yo te dirijo?!?!?! (DIGO) que el proyecto se debe completar en mayo..." Aquí se calló, y todos en la oficina se callaron también.\n\n"Nativos" sounds in spanish like,"Hi! I'm a sioux or a cheyenne.." so don't use it. Guess it's literal translation from "native-speakers". Wrong. If anything, might be similar to "autoctonous".\n\n"Corpulento" means tough-guy, strong man, Hulk Hogan, heheeehe. Doesn't really fit in the paragraph, does it?\n\n"Retro-alimentación". Literal translation from feed-back, uh?. Nope, looks weird. Perhaps you found that word in the dictionary but no-one speaks like that. In fact, a few people would rather say "feed-back", but 99% of the  times we just say something like give me your view, opinion, correct me, etc..\n\n**********************************\n\nTake an exam; "hacer un examen", or "examinarse" (verb; yo me examino, tu te examinas, él se examina..)\n\n"Retro-alimentación" issue; YES, your teacher is WRONG. Tell him I said that. :) Don't try to translate feed-back, it's impossible, believe me!!!

You also rarely hear your national anthem.  We are a country that is proud of every aspect of it.  We fought for what we have.  We live in a society that teaches us to be proud of where we live and respect where we are from.  The flag is a symbol of our freedom.  It is way more than just a flag to us.  I realize that is something that you may not understand.  The stars and stripes of the flag all represent something.   The 13 stripes represent the original 13 colonies and the 50 stars represent the 50 states.  It isn't "just a flag" it is a symbol of who we are and how we got to be that.  :)

Catchy rhythm, lots of people liked dancing to it - probably it and its remixes was a popular hit in clubs.\n\nAbout the lyrcis: tacky they are, that's why I preferred the spanish version: its her natural tongue, the lyrics could be better, but if they're not, I don't understand spanish anyway so I wouldn't know :)

Mexicans sing the national anthem in spanish because they are a very important segment of american society and spanish is the 2nd language of USA and the govt of USA wants to send them a signal they are concerned about their identity and welfare for their selfish internal needs in agriculture in particular. The government of USA cares less who dies in the Iraq war as long as thier megalomaniac ego is undisturbed.

It's almost perfect, i made some little changes though\n\nUna de las pinturas mas famosas de Picasso es Guernica. Fue pintado para protestar contra el ataque aéreo bárbaro contra una aldea vasca durante la Guerra civil española. El utilizó sombras de negro, blanco, y gris para transmitir el dolor que el ataque causó. Picasso utilizó formas simbólicas - QUE SON ENCONTRADAS repetidas veces en sus trabajoS POSTERIORES A Guernica - como un caballo agonizante o una mujer llorosa. Guernica fue exhibido en el museo DE Arte moderno en Nueva York hasta 1981. Fue transferido AL Museo DE Campo en Madrid, España en 1981 y fue movido entonces A LA Central de la Reina Sofia DE Arte EN Madrid en 1992. Picasso había rechazado (INSTEAD OF HABÍA RECHAZADO EL I WOULD RECOMMEND THE USE OF SE OPUSO AL)el regreso de Guernica a España AL FINAL DEL REINADO FASCISTA DEL General Franco. \n\n "I love his use of vibrant colors and how unique this painting is" =\nMe encanta su uso de colores vibrantes y cuán única es esta pintura (or cuán único es este cuadro)

I personally think the idea of two flags is cool. It shows you aren't forgetting your heritage but you are embracing and loving your new home.

Well in Michigan it is also English.  Im really pissed off about this Mexican version of the Star Spangled Banner.  What the heck is up with that.  I thought USA was a english speaking nation.  Why would we need a Mexican version?  Not only did they make that version they changed and added to it.  That is our national anthem not the Mexicans!!

Some EDUCATIONAL Reading For Citizens\n\nhttp://www.newswithviews.com/Devvy/kidd185.htm\n\nI have friends who live in the Phoenix area that speak fluent Spanish. Over the weekend before the big marches on April 10, 2006, Spanish speaking radio was sending this message: "Hide what's in your heart today. We know in your heart your allegiance is to Mexico, but today use your head. Americans were upset about Mexican flags and our show of solidarity for reconquista. Now we must wear white shirts and wave the American flags being handed out. It will be difficult because we know in your heart your love is for Mexico, but hide it today."
