Armstrong, Cernan Testify Against Obama Space Plan
MarkWhittington submitted a story about the first man to walk on the moon testifying yesterday that President Barack Obama's plans to revamp the human space program would cede America's longtime leadership in space to other nations.
It's literally the only thing he's done that made my blood boil.
Your blood didn't boil when he reversed himself on FISA and voted for telecom immunity? It didn't boil when he reneged on his "no tax increases for people making <$250,000" promise and signed legislation containing tax increases on medical devices, tanning salons and tobacco? It didn't boil when he doubled down on our failed Afghanistan policy?
I want peace on earth and goodwill toward man.
We are the United States Government! We don't do that sort of thing.
He's constantly been reinforcing the thought that I regret even thinking that he would be different than all the others.
I think that's the source of my bitterness towards him more than anything else. It's not as though I ever thought he agreed with all of my views. I knew that he didn't agree with me when it came to guns or foreign policy. I was just dumb enough to believe that he actually meant it when he talked about a "new kind" of politics.
Live and learn I guess. At least I wised up before the general election. If only I could take back the vote for him in the primary, the sweat equity I put in on the campaign trail and all of the people that I had previously convinced to vote for him.

You just came of age of wisdom? Welcome!
Fact: most people around you are ragingly stupid. If this was not the case then there would be tens of thousands in DC screaming for the heads of most senators and HO Reps. It's why I think teay party members are morons. They need to be SCREAMING for the constitution to be upheld and all the crimes against the USA that destroys freedom be repealed now and any senator that voted for it be hung in the gallows.
but no they are whiney know nothings that prefer a fake security feeling over freedom. They actually prefer LESS freedom.
If we were smart, we would be on the verge of the second civil war right now.
Do not look at laser with remaining good eye.
