__._,_.___Republicans Criticize Trekkies for Singing National Anthem in KlingonWashington – President Bush lashed out at Star Trek fans, or Trekkies, for opening conventions and fan club gatherings by singing the Star-Spangled Banner in Klingon, a language spoken in the fictional Star Trek universe, Underneath Politics has learned."If we are going to criticize the Latin Community for singing the National Anthem in Spanish, we cannot give a free pass to the Star Trek fan community just because they are crazy in a harmless sort of way," President Bush said from the Rose Garden.Democrats on Capital Hill equated the President's criticism to an attack on the 1st Amendment. "The Constitution does not say anything about the freedom to speak a language used by fictional bad guys from outer space," Senator Harry Reid (D-NV) said. "But there's no doubt in my mind the framers of the Constitution would want Trekkies to have the freedom to use such a language without governmental interference."The President however, feels that singing the National Anthem in Klingon is worse than Mexican Americans singing the National Anthem in Spanish. "In order for the Mexicans to sing the Star-Spangled Banner in English, they have to learn the language," President Bush said. "All the Trekkies have to do in order to sing the National Anthem in English is use the language they already knew before they learned Klingon. English is something American's were born knowing, while the knowledge to speak Klingon is something that must be acquired."President Bush also fears that if the Trekkies continue to embrace Klingon tendencies it could further divide an already polarized nation. "These were not nice people," President Bush said of the Klingons. "Their goal was the total destruction of everyone onboard the Starship Enterprise. I will not allow my National Anthem to be sung in a language used by perpetrators of such evil."Senator Reid, however, says you can't lump all Trekkie followers of Klingon's together. "We don't know the motive of every Trekkie with an affection for Klingon's," he said. "Sure, anyone can portray (Klingon Founder) Kahless the Unforgettable as someone who wanted to spread his message through violence, but those people are probably twisting his words. Despite causing many conflicts since their beginning in 900AD, I believe they are a peaceful people. I implore President Bush to learn more about Klingon's and the Klingon home world of Qo'noS before he casts general dispersions about the kindhearted Klingon people and their earthly followers."Because of the time and intelligence needed to learn the complex language of Klingon, President Bush is afraid the Trekkies might use their manpower and dedication to unleash a global terror war on Western Civilization, something only Republicans have the willpower to curtail. "Our airport scanners are not sophisticated enough to detect the Vulcan Nerve Pinch, which Mr. Spock often used to subdue his enemies." Mr. Bush said. "Using wiretapping, secret prisons throughout the country and military tribunals, I'm confident we can break up Trekkie sleeper cells before we reach that point."In response to the growing Klingon problem, former President Bill Clinton announced that he did everything he could to capture Trekkie Fan Club President Omar Bryce Langford during his eight years in office, but unfortunately failed due to the incompetence of the CIA and FBI.![Yahoo!
