McCain replaced by PanderBot 9000
It was only a matter of time before Ronco started making robots to replace humans in an effort to expand the market for the pocket fisherman, that crappy rotisserie and of course, knives. Lots and lots of knives. Their first replacement was of Senator John McCain sometime around 2002. That model was recently replaced by a PanderBot 9000. According to the company, the PanderBot is a fully functional AI with limited personality imprints from the original human (in McCain's case, the imprint was classed as SENILE OLD MAN) and a fully functional bio-mechanical chassis. It's the perfect politician, able to form opinions and beliefs on a variety of subjects given nothing more than an audience. Case in point, when asked the question "A recent poll found that 55 percent of Americans believe the U.S. Constitution establishes a Christian nation. What do you think?" McCain recently said...
I would probably have to say yes, that the Constitution established the United States of America as a Christian nation. But I say that in the broadest sense. The lady that holds her lamp beside the golden door doesn’t say, “I only welcome Christians.” We welcome the poor, the tired, the huddled masses. But when they come here they know that they are in a nation founded on Christian principles.
The robot, even if reality conflicts with what it is saying, will pander relentlessly. In this case, the unit has ignored the fact that there is:
1) A prohibition against religious tests in the Constitution
2) No mention of God in the Constitution
3) A First Amendment to the Constitution
4) A treaty negotiated by our first President, ratified by Congress and signed by our second President that clearly says the United States is NOT a Christian nation (it's Article 11).
Amazing, right? No one ever said Ronco's shit was any good.
