lol, LOVE this list.... also, just because I feel like bringing up a topic my father and I discussed about Firefly and political leanings...

Doesn't ANYONE feel that the Alliance is better represented by the Democratic Party and their wanting to make everything better by throwing our hard earned cashy-money at all types of special interest groups?? Also, the Republican Party is a more "leave it ((the general populace)) alone to fend for themselves..." ya know... be all... in'pendent and all that....

My two cents as a Republican Browncoat

Obviously. But some people of diversity and tolerance do not like having thier faults pointed out to them.

This should probably remain in RWED but the Alliance are quite like the Republicans (pre-emptive wars, a military bent, close ties to big business) especially if you go for the civil war link (Lincoln was a Republican too).

Also Joss is no fan of the Republican party - he even apologised to us for Bush's re-election at the rough cut premiere in the UK.

But hey, everyone interprets art in their own way.

How about we vote, narrow these cool choices down to a top 10 list, and I'll update the top post.
Select your fave 10 of the choices. If more are added, that's fine. If voting for one of the 12s or 13s, specify which.

Mine so far:
22, 18, first 13, second 13, 10, 7 ,6, 1, 2, 5.

I must agree. Fox cancels shows like Firefly, but shows glorifying stupidity and dysfunction like Family Guy, et. al., run forever.

I'm trying to remember how many times the democratic party waged wars to make other governments act as they saw fit resulting in lasting occupation of the lands previously belonging to the other governments.

I think the problem may be that I'm too young, The vast majority of the wars this country has been in were waged well before I existed and I'm no historian.

Since you brought this up I would like you to enlighten me. What was the first war that the Democratic Party waged to bring others under their rule? What is the most recent war the Democratic Party waged to bring others under their rule?

After the Louisiana Purchase and the resulting domestication of the west, plus Seward's Folly, America has resisted Imperial expansion policies. Territories like Peurto Rico and Hawaii have to apply for statehood.

After FDR promised the America voters that he would absolutely not engage in World War II, the Japanese argue he incited them to attack Pearl Harbor, and FDR knew they were attacking Pearl Harbor, but needed these American deaths to compel the will of Americans to allow him to engage in the War he promised he would not. After WWII, we have occupied many "territories" in the Pacific.
Korea was under Truman. You may have heard we are still there, a continuous presence for 50 years.
Veitnam was started under JFK, and expanded under LBJ. We do not occupy South Veitnam, because it is occupied by North Veitnam.

FDR, Truman, JFK, and LBJ were Democrats.
