What happens if the Russians get to Mars before the US?
I know how having health care will affect my quality of life but what effect would the Russians landing on a planet 55 to 401 million kilometers away have?
Of course the people with above average intelligence were furious, how could people line up to vote for someone who simply made baseless talking points?
If Lincoln hadn't preserved it militarily and Roosevelt hadn't preserved it from revolution economically, then all of Europe and England, too, would have succumbed to the Nazis.

The best part was when he sold missiles to Iran. If you or I did that it would be called high treason, but Reagan does it because he's a hero.In case you didn't get the Nicaragua point, which it looks like you didn't, Reagan supported the people who were murdering thousands.
The 5 Most Badass Presidents of All-Time
As we all prepare to spend a long weekend enjoying Presidential Savings on mattresses and used Toyotas, we could take time to thank some of the presidents who passed bills that protect some of the freedoms your enjoy daily. Or we could spend the day celebrating the presidents who are decidedly more Action Movie Heroes than diplomats.
Anyway, guess which kind of president this website decided to focus on?
At the risk of invoking Godwin's law, we should remember who was once elected Chancellor of Germany...
The best president this country has ever had is Franklin D. Roosevelt. A very close second is Abraham Lincoln. These two men, by their vision, saved this country from becoming something very different, in a very different world. Anyone who doesn't acknowledge that knows little of history, I think.

You forgot Reagan.
He can't help it, it's obvious by his listing FDR as #1 that he's clueless.
But is that worth changing the fundamental nature of the country?

You're right, it is hard to understand how the "fundamental nature" changed when you think fundamental nature means short term tangible effects. All these abstract concepts like structure, jurisdiction, and "limits" are just so useless when it comes to describing the nature of government when you can apparently get a comprehensive understanding of it by just looking at how maps are colored and where armies stopped.How was the fundamental nature of the country changed? In the first case we remained one nation and left the misbegotten travesty of slavery behind, in the second case we defeated fascist militarism and established the US as a world power.

I don't think the Mars issue is the most concerning about the space program budgets cuts.
I may not be up to date, but the last thing I remember was Obama wanting to turn space capability over to private businesses.
We have many satelittes critical to national security is so many ways, I think it's simply foolish to abandon our ability to launch & service them.

The elitists keep trying to marginalize them and portray them as a bunch of fringe crazies, when in fact they (on average) are a more educated group than the rest of the country.
