Master Yoda: Only The Sith Deal In Absolutes...
George Dumbya Bush: "You're either with us or against us."

You do the math.

1. Obi-Wan Kenobi Says That
Edited on Sun May-22-05 10:30 PM by B. P. R. D.
And that statment in itself is an absolute. He later calls Palpatine evil. The Jedi deal in moral absolutes all the time.

5. I know...
I meant after she saw him on that landing pad on the volcano planet, and he said that he would overthrow the emperor and that they could rule. :P

7. Obi says that, but I agree...
remember the assault on "nuance" during the election? Bush is not bright enough to be capable of complex thought, but Darth Rove is a monstrosity that could well have been a character in the story; perhaps another Sith apprentice.

This whole Administration, top to bottom is filthy, dirty, rotten, evil scoundrels.

8. Fair Enough - So It Was Obi-Wan, Then
Nevertheless, I see a lot of similarities between Palpatine General Grievous, and Dumbya.

Palpatine is evil, and for a while, was damn good at hiding it.
Grievous is a coward...just like Dumbya.

Tell me that Bush is not America's Palpatine....

14. Dark Sid
Is far more clever, disciplined, and extraordinarily trained to be compared to Dumbass. Even a Sith, as dark and menacing as they are, requires the high intellect and extended training as that of a Jedi.

In fact, the Sith are fascinating if you read the books and comics. They have their own prophecies and their own interpretation of the "life" force, albeit an evil interpretation. The Jedi are like the knights of the round table, once losing their master and destabilized, they go on extended quests of self discovery and meditation.

The Jedi are the moral high ground and the Sith feed into the most base element of the human condition.

16. OK
Tell me the Repukes don't feed into the most base element of the human condition!!

they damn well do, and we all know it. But you got a point, Dumbya wouldn't be smart enough to be a Sith, really...or even a General Grievous.

I like the posting above, I think THAT fits Dumbya best...."Ex-squeeze me...meesa splainin Social Security!!"
Fuckin' ROFL!!! :rofl:

20. The Repugs would counter
Repugs will start to claim Hollywood is an enemy of the state. They've already done that to a great extent. One could argue that they've helped ruin the music industry. Movies will be next....

19. You must consider...
* made those statements at the height of 9/11 desire for revenge, when hwe could just get away with it, which shows how his desire for fascism is directly proportional to what the American mood will allow.

21. Anakin even actually says "If you're not with me, you're against me"
So, there's those two lines.

I also loved one by Amidala:

"So this is how Democracy dies. With thunderous applause"
