O'Keefe Under Fire for Hubble, ISS Decisions

chuckpeters writes "The battle over saving Hubble is just starting to heat up! The House Science Committee Democrats released their views and estimates report. Recommendation number two was that until Congress gets better information on the long term costs of Bush's Moon/Mars initiative, NASA's 2005 funding requests should go to existing programs. The House Science Committee has also decided that they want to hear from outside experts on Bush's space initiative. Just as Hubble isn't going quietly into the night, Bush's Moon/Mars plan isn't going quickly into space!"

    Dear President Bush,

    You really pay a state visit to our glorious new United States of America Mars base. It's really wonderful the progress that we have made over the last few years. Spring is a wonderful time of year here on Mars.

    Sincerely,

    "The receptivity of the great masses is very limited, their intelligence is small, but their power of forgetting is enormous. In consequence of these facts, all effective propaganda must be limited to a very few points and must harp on these in slogans until the last member of the public understands what you want him to understand by your slogan."

    Hitler would be so proud of the Democrats and their willing accomplices in the "mainstream" media for the way they keep pushing their Big Lie on the public. (The quote, if you're wondering, is from Mein Kampf.)

    The Washington Post is a newspaper.
    NewsMax.com is a screed collection.


    So your entire objection is to the source rather than content.

    Then you continue to whine that people are leaving corporate overlords and becoming their own bosses.

    Are you Stalin or are you Hitler?

    Oh no, wrong track eh Eisenstein?
