Hubris in US Government is blatantly against US

My Question: 
Are the below URLs atypical with some petty political purpose? What other .Gov websites ...?

Armed Services Republicans
     URL:  http://armedservices.house.gov
U.S. House of Representatives, House Armed Services Committee
     URL:  http://democrats.armedservices.house.gov/

Summary:  A house pathologically divided ..., perhaps this hubris should not survive within US.

Typical URLs would be:
U.S. House of Representatives, House Armed Services Committee
     URL:  http://armedservices.house.gov
House Armed Services Committee, Republicans
     URL:  http://armedservices.house.gov/republicans
House Armed Services Committee, Democrats
     URL:  http://armedservices.house.gov/democrats

RFC: What about cyborgs(human-machines)?

Louis Del Monte is rather parochial in estimates that machine intelligence will exceed the world's combined human intelligence by 2045.  "Most of the human race will have become cyborgs by the end of this century, is a probability.  The allure will be evolution, because “immortality” is demigod hubris and delusion, because all demigods are mortal. 

Human-machines (cyborgs) will make breakthroughs in science (theoretical) and engineering (applied), most of the human race “MIGHT” have more leisure time, be enslaved a/o dead, and a few or all will have it better.

The concern, I'm raising is that cyborgs are human-machines, but silly legacy science-fiction has cyborgs as the future Frankenstein’s monsters unpredictable and dangerous.  "Human-machines (cyborgs) are self-conscious and have the capabilities to protect themselves and protect, love, help ... others and evolution. 

The cyborgs IMO will view us/others in the same way any human does, very naturally.  "Humans/Cyborgs are synergistic species that can save the world twice over, and make us humans far better." 

Appealing roommates to me consider unknowns essential sustenance for synergy and evolution of intelligent species.  Fear is a four letter word that is actually obscene to humans/cyborgs.
