5. The RWingnut meme machine is a thing of awesomeness. It is not unlike The Borg.
Edited on Wed Jan-12-11 03:13 PM by BrklynLiberal
For those familiar with Star Trek:Voyager, you will know the power of the Borg Collective...

from Wikipedia:

Borg Collective

Also referred to as the "hive mind" or "collective consciousness" , this is the term used to describe the group mind of the Borg civilization. Each Borg individual, or drone, is linked to the collective by a sophisticated subspace network that ensures each member is given constant supervision and guidance. The collective is broadcast over a subspace domain similar to that utilized by the transporter. Being part of the collective offers significant biomedical advantages to the individual drones. The mental energy of the group consciousness can help an injured or damaged drone heal or regenerate damaged body parts or technology. The collective consciousness not only gives them the ability to "share the same thoughts", but also to adapt with great speed to defensive tactics used against them.<1>
