Republicans seek to gut NASA
Well they've been working for 3 decades non stop to slow all scientific progress in this country and now in Republican standard of behavior, we see them attacking the mission statement of NASA. In a few years, when people start complaining about it, they will tell us that protecting the planet was never something that NASA did. Much like they claim that the Pledge of Allegiance always included the term "under God" despite the fact that radicals managed to have it added in the 1950's under the guise of protecting us from communists by attacking religious freedom. Figure that one out, anyway the mission statement used to start out like this:
“To understand and protect our home planet; to explore the universe and search for life; to inspire the next generation of explorers ... as only NASA can.”
But the Republicans desperate to get NASA out of the business of protecting our planet, dropped the "To understand and protect our home planet" from the mission statement. So now they can move NASA away from doing any significant work on things like Global Warming and other areas where their scientific knowledge has stood in the way of the Republicans agenda of destroying the planet. I imagine they will drop all the efforts to track asteroids and the like so that way we don't have an early warning system in place. You might ask yourself what kind of madmen would do such a thing as leave us defenseless in the face of a global disaster. Well realize the Republican party is filled with people are obsessed with the destruction of humanity and if you read their version of the reality you'll see that:
7 The first angel sounded, and there followed hail and fire mingled with blood, and they were cast upon the earth: and the third part of trees was burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up.8 And the second angel sounded, and as it were a great mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea: and the third part of the sea became blood;
9 And the third part of the creatures which were in the sea, and had life, died; and the third part of the ships were destroyed.
10 And the third angel sounded, and there fell a great star from heaven, burning as it were a lamp, and it fell upon the third part of the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters;
11 And the name of the star is called Wormwood: and the third part of the waters became wormwood; and many men died of the waters, because they were made bitter.
12 And the fourth angel sounded, and the third part of the sun was smitten, and the third part of the moon, and the third part of the stars; so as the third part of them was darkened, and the day shone not for a third part of it, and the night likewise.
See they view any efforts in space by NASA to advance technology that might let us do something like say, defend the planet from an asteroid or comet (in Neo-Christian Republican hate speak mountains of fire and hails of fires mixed with blood respectively). Their agenda has never wavered for a moment, they've always been working to undermine the American way of life in hopes of bring about an Apocalypse to bring about their eternal salvation. Of course, such efforts are pure lunacy, but it's what we've all come to know as the norm for the Republican party. Night and day they work to damage America in hopes of triggering Armageddon so they can escape. They ignore any sort of sane legislation because they thirst so much for escape from these Earthly bonds. This is all the Republican party is in the end. A bunch of fools suffering from Mass "Religious" Hysteria and they put us all at risk. If you are a Republican reading this and saying this can't be true, then you really need to take look at and actually listen to the voices that lead your entire party, James Dobson and Pat Robertson. Their goals are your goals, if you don't believe in them, you are supporting them anyway by voting for their drones in the Republican party. You're either with America and against the Neo-Christians or you are a threat to America.

Nothing New from the GOP (God's Only Party) or as I like to think of them as the (Godless Oligarch's Party).
