    Oh, say can you care?

    I am totally with the War Room on this one. Why it would bother anyone if our national anthem was sung in another language is beyond me. Isn't the important thing that across America this summer, at Polish-American fairs, Cuban-American festivals, and Mexican-American fiestas, our national anthem will be sung? They share their culture with us, we share our country with them. We sing our anthem in English, they sing our anthem in their language. Either way, it is all about a love of this country we all call "home".
