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.
[I know I'm a heretic to this liberal, big-government crowd, but while I'm still here, it's important you guys get some truth. I'll be modded down, but that only shows how "open minded" you guys are.]
Let's see:
Nationalization of the car companies, yanking people's life savings and giving it to the unions didn't tick you off? You, the taxpayer are now going to pay for those sky-high union pensions.
It ain't over: every time a union pension can't be paid (the worker invested $30,000 for a $3,000.000 payout!) from a city, state, or EU member nation, YOU'LL BE ASKED TO PAY FOR IT. It's already happening, now. It's a part of Greece's problems.
Just like Spain, the myth of "Green Jobs" being created by doing LESS will make sure jobs are hard to find for quite some time. "Green Jobs" are a lie.
He's taking over the internet the way he took over the healthcare industry, which was damaged in the FIRST PLACE by congressional meddling. You guys think it's a win against Comcast- it's a win against YOU. Mark my words; I'm nearly 50 and I've seen this before.
Bush was a progressive, like Obama, but at least he wanted to actually FIGHT the war we're in. With as much as he spent in 8 years, Obama has spent more IN JUST ONE YEAR. And, we're on the hook for about $3T/year for healthcare. It's a disaster.
He wants to institute Cap-and-Trade so that he can decide which companies get to live, and which ones will fail.
He's ending all the school loan programs, so if you're a friend to the big government, YOU can get a school loan. Congress made the guarantees, so colleges had no reason to lower costs...so you're suckered.
He's growing a housing monopoly, too. Only one place to go to get a home loan- the big government. Everyone else is getting shut down because of another congressional disaster, the Community ReInvestment Act that forces banks to lose $200,000 when a person of color goes into a bank and must be given a loan, EVEN IF HE HAS NO JOB.
Legalized bank robbery. 150 banks closed last year, it's ahead of schedule, this year.
He wants everyone on welfare, with a handful of multi-billionaires to be the only "private sector", just like every other socialist nation.
Notice I never mentioned skin color. I don't care. It's no concern that my president is black; my concern is that he's RED.
But because he wants to screw up NASA too, NOW you get angry?
Turn off the state-run media. MAKE YOURSELF listen to Limbaugh. You'll quickly learn he's color-blind, non-homophobic and has a lot of good, historically proven ideas. What you know of him are lies.
Most important you'll learn to stop voting for people causing the problem!

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.
I want peace on earth and goodwill toward man.
We are the United States Government! We don't do that sort of thing.
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.
