[Rockitz]

Just WHO DO YOU THINK wants the masses to be dwelling on matters overseas rather than what they're doing AND not doing here at home???

The corporate elite who see borders as an impediment to business and ultimately profits as well as their paid proxies in the Whitehouse and the US congress?

[jedward]

Niters there pph.

[1COUNTER-MORTER-68]

“That is our national motto.
However, the “Great Seal of the United States Government” was not and is NOT to be in Spanish!”

It was meant as humor. DUH!

[yorkie]

Go hit the hay - hope it is not too scratchy. ;-)

I want to read every post on this thread. Thank you for the ‘PING’!

PPH, Hope your knee feels better!!!

[TheBattman]

Nope-—not bogus.

[AmericanInTokyo]

Good luck.

Tell that to the US Government, then, the author of and entity responsible for that website.

In their own words, they refer to it as, and I quote, "The Great Seal" of the Government of the United States.

You can defend this Spanish Language Official Seal on our government's website further if you want, please, by all means, be my guest.

Website says further:

The Great Seal of the United States Official information and services from the U.S. government The design of the obverse (front) of the Great Seal, which is the coat of arms of the United States, is used by the government in many ways. It appears in some form on coins, postage stamps, stationery, publications, flags, military uniforms, public monuments, public buildings, passports, and other items the U.S. government has issued, owns, or uses. The Seal can be affixed only by an officer of the Department of State, under the authority of its custodian, the Secretary of State. Symbolically, the Seal reflects the beliefs and values that the Founding Fathers attached to the new nation and wished to pass on to their descendants. The most prominent feature is the American bald eagle supporting the shield, or escutcheon, which is composed of 13 red and white stripes, representing the original states; and a blue top which unites the shield and represents Congress. The motto "E Pluribus Unum" ("Out of Many, One") alludes to this union. The olive branch and 13 arrows denote the power of peace and war, which is exclusively vested in Congress. The constellation of stars denotes a new state taking its place and rank among other sovereign powers.

When you, on that official US government website, cursor over the Spanish-language "Great Seal" of the USA, and hit the link, you go to THIS (below). It also says in Spanish in a pop up box when cursoring, that this is the Great Seal of the Government of the United States (first in Spanish it says "Grand Cello de Gobierno de Estados Unidos") See for yourself. Take that website for a test run again there, Ramius...

"El Gran Sello de los EE. UU. (Great Seal of the U.S.) El Gobierno federal utiliza el escudo de armas de Estados Unidos, diseño en la cara del Gran Sello, de diferentes maneras. Por ejemplo aparece en distintas versiones en monedas, estampillas postales, papelería, publicaciones, banderas, uniformes militares, monumentos y edificios públicos, pasaportes y otros artículos que el Gobierno de los EE. UU. haya emitido, posea o utilice. Sólo un oficial designado por el Departamento de Estado, bajo la autoridad del Secretario de Estado, custodio del Sello, puede fijar el mismo....." (etc. etc. etc)

No, it's not a bogus web site. It's the spanish language page of the official web site of the government of the United States of America. At the top right, you can click on the English home, and from there, at the top right, you can click on other languages. Interestingly enough, there are quite a few languages listed, but I don't think very many have a fully translated home page. For instance, for Hebrew, there are only a few links, 2 or 3. Lots more for arabic.

Here's the image of the "Great Seal of the United States of America," in spanish, blown up to a width of 400 pixels... I think that they wanted to keep it small on purpose, to sort of "sneak it in." This is just SO WRONG!

It sucks. Just LOOK at that thing! Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr....

[Orange1998]

I never thought I would see this under a Republican reign.

[RightOnline]

That’s the Spanish language page.

[AmericanInTokyo]

Correct. They have devised and placed the Official Seal in Spanish.

That would be akin to adding or taking a star to/from the curent American Flag, as opposed to placing mere Spanish text regarding some issue about government services for example.

One wonders, are the actual official symbols of our Republic now subject to this insane, separatist "para Espanol, imprime el numero dos" nonsense?

[AmericanInTokyo]

At least the US Embassy in Mexico City still, whether you visit their English or Spanish name, did not change their seal:

Of course, one wonders how long THAT will last! Give State a few more months.
