On Separatist Activity
Alright, I have been toying with a new analogy here. The Democratic party, as it stands today, is the Episode I-III Separatist movement. Let's examine, shall we?
- sniffling wimps not willing to do any hard work themselves
- mindless sheep, willing to let anyone with half an idea in their head lead them
- willing pawns fighting the losing side of a war
I could go on, but why bother? I am sure we can see more similarities. Anyway, I am starting a mini-picture series. Let me be clear -- I am no Allah in the House (peace be upon him). These are only visual guides. This exchange from The Simpsons serves as my mantra:
Movie Executive: "You impaled a U.S. Senator with the American flag!"
Homer Simpson: "It was symbolism! He was angry!"
With no further ado, I present Murtha Gunray...
Old Murtha, a tried and true veteran of many campaigns over the Clone Wars, tries to reason with the terrorist (for now, let's pretend that is not Darth Vader there, because the true identity of Vader is a sooper secrit for another post!)... The war is over! All we want is peace!
Oh, he's so earnest. You just want to pinch those rosey cheeks! But how does the terrorist feel?
Oh yeah, I forgot. Terrorists don't much care for what you say, when they have you in the crosshairs.
More to come, from the Banking Clan next time...

Agent Smith says, you are right. Enough is enough! We need a draft RIGHT NOW to get the military enough soldiers to take down the terrorists and be ready for Iran's Jihadidad.
Agent Brown decrees that Panty-head Jihadidad is the problem and the only way to take him over is to follow Jones:
Agent Jones says that first, get your enemies straight. 1. Stop fighting the secular Baathist generals so both U.S. and Iraqi Nationalist-Baathist forces can go and kill off the son-of-a-bitch SALAFIST TERRORISTS who keep blowing up buses and schools. 2. Combined U.S. and confederated Iraqi forces then can then secure Iraq and go to crack the mullahs' power.
Agent Smith then retorts, draft the Baathists to do our fighting for us and/or get the draft rolling so we can fight with overwhelming and crushing superiority.

I dunno Jango and Dooku were Confederacy (Seperatist) both were fairly tough hombres. Im not sure the Democrats have any sort of equivilent. Also, the Confederacy was filled with capitalist and businessmen, not exactly the Democrats forte. You cite that the confederates were to wussy to do their own fighting, true perhaps for the Nemodians, but dosent apply to Geonosians and Aqualash both confederate systems that were warrior cultures. The Democrats seem to be more like the Naboo. They dont realize that they are at war with a dangerous enemy until their Capital city is occupied!

Ah yes, Jango and Dooku were there. General Grevious too. I have already considered them and your point is pretty close to home. But I will deal with them in a later post, though you point is clearly noted.
As for the capitalists and businessmen, that is not a department that the Dems have been to lax with over the past few years. How many "home grown boys" as opposed to "multi-millionaires" are in the high level of Dem leadership? And then you got Hollywood along for the ride, and you don't get more capitalist than selling (on average) two-hours of lousy entertainment for $10 a head.
True, there were warrior cultures, but how much a role did they play as opposed to the battle droids? Even on Geonosis, the bulk of Separatist fighting was done by droids... nice, servile, cost-effective but incompetent replacement for real troops. Essentially, if the Dems could, I would imagine they would love to create a droid army... no guilt at sending them for "peacekeeping" b/c none of our boys really die. Freedom without sacrifice.
All that nerdiness said, you nit the nail right on the head with the Naboo. And that's the beauty of Star Wars... you can find analogies for real-life losers everywhere! And yet, the concept of 'jawa' remains constant...
