Greek to me

The Colbert Report aired a clip this morning of the self appointed guardians of the border erecting a useless 400 yard fence on the Mexico/California border.  As the Stars and Stripes flew proudly over yet another act of patriotic idiocy, they began to sing the popular English song that was pressed into service as our national anthem in 1931 in order to counteract the recent “Desecration” caused by someone, somewhere singing it in Spanish.

Congress today, amidst the storm and stress of our collapsing Democracy, took time out to declare English, a language that arguably is dying from malicious misuse and ignorance is our  “Common and unifying language.” So I’m like wow, dude – that’s like impactful.  

Of course they’ve been busy trying to distract us from the massive corruption scandals by raving on and on about obscenity and pornography (Except when used by members of the Administration) and migrant fruit pickers lowering our standard of living, but for once I agree that translating anything sacred is desecration.  I intend to write my congresscrook and demand that legislation be immediately introduced to ban all translations of the Bible.  It’s nothing short of desecration and should be read and studied and sermonized upon only in Hebrew, Syriac or Greek according to the original texts. Want the Ten Commandments on the courthouse walls? Not in English, Jack and if Robertson wants to desecrate the Gospels, let him learn Greek.

Let  the damn foreigners learn Hebrew or let ‘em go the hell back to where they came from!
