It was us! We were supposed to be the ones who reached the stars! When did we settle for a constant nagging by a two-bit community organizer instead of striving for the stars? The man thought we had 57 states. Has he said anything, anything, that could even vaguely be construed as challenging our nation to shoot for the stars? “Some people make more money than other people.” No kidding. They must teach that at Harvard Law School. Some people are taller than others, too. Let’s make everyone the same height. You see these beautiful photos and you long to go there and here we sit with a jackass for President who can’t even be bothered to try and save American lives in Benghazi. God gave us eyes to see the stars and a heart to want to touch them.
Meanwhile, China is planning a moon project, India is preparing for manned missions, and we must rely on Russia to take our boys to the ISS which we mostly paid for. When the ISS is scuttled, what reason will we have to go into space at all? None, according to the “progressive” left. What happened when Newt Gingrich suggested we build a moon base? He was scoffed at by the nice progressives. No, we can’t even think of poking one toe beyond this mud hole until every little problem on Earth is solved first. That includes forcing everyone to be equal by giving government so much power that everyone is a virtual slave. The “progressives” really have no idea what they’re actualy progressing toward.
