You know I was reading a little Issac Asimov the other day...
And I got to thinking how the three laws of robotics and apply to freeps...

Isaac Asimov's "Three Laws of Robotics"


A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.

-Since they are chicken-hawks they will not defend our country or volunteer for Iraq.

A robot must obey orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.

-replace human with any MSM news reporter or rightwing pundit.

A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.

-insert your favorite rightwing talking point here.

This kinda explains their robotic devotion to the rightwing, huh?
