Where Does Liberalism Take Us?

Another possible title for this article was "What does Jimmy Carter and Barack Hussein Obama have in common?"

On the following website:

http://spaceflightnow.com/station/exp28/...

it is being reported that we are preparing to abandon the International Space Station.

The reason being that the Russians seem to no longer be able to launch their rockets into space without them blowing up.

We have 3orbiters that are "pristine" according to astronauts that are being mothballed and put in museums. http://www.palmbeachpost.com/community-p...

Go ahead and say it was Bush's plan to end the space shuttle program, but Bush WAS REPLACING WITH CONSTELLATION PROJECT.

NASA offered to keep the Shuttles going, but NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, Obama said no thanks and moth balled the shuttles.

Obama also moth balled Constellation that was imminently ready to blast astronauts to the space station.

So, we, The United States of America, under the leadership of President Obama, have now been put in a position where the ONLY mechanism to get us into space is now impotent.

The Space Station is now being abandoned.

And Obama did it on PURPOSE.

Nice Job Obama.

8 months ago: Is NOAA next? What is the life span of the NOAA satellites? You would think the liberals would want more weather satellites collecting data to falsify.
8 months ago: It's to the point now that folks don't even need information to falsify. They just lie and expect everyone to fall in place and swallow or else get called names. Wah!

Sticks and stones anyone?
8 months ago: Yet we are the ones that frown on science and exploration and the search for Truth? Bah! Tell it RED!

8 months ago: The right wing under Bush spent like crazy on unnecessary wars, doubled the National Debt, and gave away all of the revenue to the rich, and now have instated austerity programs so there is no money to pay for any programs, just so the rich can live high off the hog while the rest of us are suffering.

The private sector has taken over the manned space programs, and millionaires can go into space if they pay enough. Isn't privatization what you guys are pushing for in every other area?

You guys are always condemning government spending and government programs, but any program that helps the aerospace (military Industrial Complex) is OK? How about government programs to create jobs that will actually benefit the people? How about developing green energy so we aren't paying terrorists when we drive SUV's? How about government programs to rebuild our crumbling infrastructure" How about government programs that put the chronically unemployed to work replanting all of the billions of trees destroyed by global warming?

The moon and the stars will still be there when the economy has recovered and when we can afford to spend on frivolous joyrides. For scientific purposes we can do all of the exploration and research we need with robots for a tenth of the cost.
8 months ago: Uh....Al.

I love you man, but you are exceptionally shortsighted.

First, who do you think built Mercury, Gemini, Apollo and the Space Shuttle? Kermit the frog? PRIVATE INDUSTRY! (For crying out loud.)

Secondly, Al, I hate to break it to you my man, but the earth is not flat anymore. You liberals are scaring me man.

8 months ago: It isn't that Obama doesn't want manned space exploration. He committed to increasing NASA funding by $6 billion over five years and completing the design of a new heavy-lift launch vehicle by 2015 and to begin construction thereafter. He also predicted a U.S. crewed orbital Mars mission by the mid-2030s, preceded by an asteroid mission by 2025. It is just that the Republicans destroyed the economy and then doubled Obama's budget deficit by giving all of that money to the rich. No more money for playing in space. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_polic...
8 months ago: Uh....Al..... Obama is a liar. A pathological liar.

"No more money" my big, fat wart on my butt.

Give me a break Al.

8 months ago: I definitely agree; Liberalism is the greatest threat to our Nation and way of life that we have ever faced. Look at the conditions of my ravaged State of California. This is what happens when Liberals have control—the second highest taxes in the Nation, 35% of all of the welfare cases in the Nation, massive deficits, high unemployment, above average crime rates, heavy drop-out rates, and now we are ranked as having the worst business climate in the Nation! Everything I just stated can be verified! It's no wonder we are losing businesses left and right! Now to rub salt in the wound, our brilliant legislature just decided to give money away to undocumented immigrants for their free college education—but not to worry, they are planning to raise our taxes to cover the shortfalls :) Yeah, Liberalism is great!
