9. Remember the description of Ferengi in the series
from the first introduction of the race in TNG?

They called them "Yankee Traders".

I call 'em "Neo-Cons".



I think there's a remarkable similarity to Cheney there!

12. Walt, if it wasn't for the murderous Bushevik Barbarism and Nazi-style
propaganda, I would agree.

But these salient characteristics are Kardassian, including the Bushevik "Justice" System as it exists in the Empire today.

Perhaps the Busheviks are the result of Kardassian-Ferengia mating.

10. Would that the Busheviks were as innocuous as the Ferengi
The Busheviks are, wiuthout doubt, Kardassians. Unjust, lying, propagandizers.

Kardassians.
