The New Republican Neo-Con Party

henceforth

The Borg

The minds of all Borg [Neo-cons] are connected via implants [brainwashing] to a hive, a collective mind, orchestrated by the Borg Queen [King Karl heretofore The Puppet Master] and controlled from a central hub, the Unicomplex [the White House]. According to themselves, the Borg [Neo-cons] only seek to "improve the quality of life in the universe"[spread democracy] and add to their own perfection [financial wealth]. To this end, they travel the galaxy [planet for now, the galaxy will come later] , improving their numbers and advancing by "assimilating" [The Stockholm Syndrome] other species and technologies, and forcing captured individuals under the control of the Hive mind by injecting them with nanoprobes [MORE brainwashing]. They harbor no ill will to anyone; they merely fulfill their biological or programmatic imperative to assimilate. As they say, "Resistance is futile,you will be assimilated [Your either with us or against us]." They make good on that threat by their ability to quickly adapt to any attack to render it harmless. Thus, any successful defense depends on the ingenuity of the opponent to find a method to stop the Borg completely before they can neutralize it.



The Democratic and Independent Party's have always been the party's of the individual and choices. They're all about insuring that every person has the right to make his/her own decisions, whether it be about abortion, religion, marriage, education, or life-style. We're the party of FREEDOM. The freedom to make your own decisions, your own choices.
I can however see the attraction to being a part of the 'Borg'. You don't have to think for yourself. You don't have to make choices, or decisions and act upon them. You can sit back be a couch potato (sheeple/ostrich people, pick your favorite form of denial and engage in your endless pursuit of the almighty dollar) and let someone else do the thinking for you.
I've come to the conclusion that the majority of the people in this country have joined up with the 'Borg' mentality because they're lazy, unconcerned, and selfish. They have little or no concept of the 'big' picture. Of course there's also the advantage of when things go badly the hive Queen King takes the hit.
So, in response to Kissfan's request, here's my suggestion for a bumper sticker...

Leave the Borg Join The Freedom Party We're a reality based community

or business as usual with Bush Co.

"WASHINGTON President George W. Bush left for his summer vacation last week, and so did a lot of the White House senior staff. Karl Rove, the president's chief political adviser, headed for his house in the Florida Panhandle. Andrew Card Jr., the White House chief of staff, was with his family in Poland Spring, Maine."

Bush of course will be spending his time at his Texas ranch, settling in for a five-week stay on the prairie that will be his longest time away from Washington as president. If I were one of those 'far left' moonbats I'd say I suspect everyone (Bush Co.) is fleeing Washington in an attempt to escape the ongoing federal investigation into who did what in the leaking of the name of a CIA officer to reporters and who may (or may not) have comitted a crime. I doubt this is the case. Bush has spent more time away from Washington on these vacations than any previous President. In fact isn't that where he was when all those memo's about people hijacking planes and flying them into buildings were being ignored?
Fortunately he won't be alone...
Fallen Soldier's mother protests near Bush ranch.
I really like what they're calling their protest. "The Impeachment Tour". Don't we wish?

In fact, if I can figure out where this is ("Karl Rove, the president's chief political adviser, headed for his house in the Florida Panhandle.") I just might organize a protest of my own. Maybe I could call my protest, The Crooks and Liars Tour Protest". That would just about cover it don't you think?

Update; Fallen Soldier's Mother Becomes National Security Threat .[source]
Cindy Sheehan phoned me (me being David Swanson) from Texas a few minutes ago to say that she's been informed, beginning Thursday, she and her companions will be considered a threat to national security and will be arrested.
Coincidentally, Thursday is the day that Rice and Rumsfeld visit the ranch, and Friday is a fundraiser event for the haves and the have mores. Cindy said that she and others plan to be arrested.
