this anthem thing...

[nolly]

OK, I see two basic sets of reactions from people.
I see people reacting to Bush's "keep it in English" statement, which was documentably inane -- not only is there a long history of translation, including ones promoted by the gov't, Bush was singing the anthem in Spanish on the campaign trail.

I see people reacting to the song itself, and this is what I don't understand. Can someone explain what, if anything, is problematic about it?

Because Fracis Scott Key is their Lord and Savior and His Holy words must be perfectly preserved just as they were written. If God had wanted our National Anthem to be sung in Spanish, he would have inspired some guy named Jesus to write it. :P
