The most Conservative "character" on the show was obviously the NCC-1701. It does all the work, provides a safe environment for the crew, and only asks that you do not undermine its ability to perform in order to appease the space-environmentalist AlGorens.

Not necessarily. There is one episode that deals with the fact that he is "fully functional."

Is - I like that. Whatever "is' is.

Liberalism is the antithesis of science and is a fool's game of emotional knee jerk responses. Witness-

1. The cult of global warming
2. The financial enabling of the non productive
3. affirmitive action
4. spending into insolvency
5. suing states in America
6. embracing drug culture and legalization of pot
7. alllowing illegal immigrants to flood the country
8. passing bills "to find out what is in them"
9. embracing Islam, despite its barbarity, as a foil against Christianity
10. Abandoning traditional allies
11. Shipping all of our manufacturing jobs via NAFTA and China most favored nation trade status.


The cult of liberalism is one of self hate and is completely devoid of logic. The only Star Trek character I can think of who embodies liberalism would be the multiplying "Tribbles" in the episode "The Trouble with Tribbles". The tribbles are initially cute, but multiply and multiply, consuming every resource they can with no production. That is a liberal.

Bones never talked to Scotty.

Scotty wouldn't talk to Bones unless he was bleeding within an inch of his life.

He was sort of a John Wayne doctor.

In Gene Roddenberry's future, conservatives have been rendered extinct. A part of human history best forgotten. However in the galaxy there still remain such primitive beings, like the capitalistically consumed Ferengi.

Oh yeah, I forgot about THEM!

Did you have to remind me?

And, they AIN'T Libertarians!

That's odd-I always thought they were Chinese communists.
