another big lie by Hillary,just like her pathetic lie about being rejected by a US Marine recruiter

Born in 1947 she could have entered NASA as did other women, for future astronaut program or at least have become a test pilot

Maybe what NASA REALLY said to Hillary was:

“Dear MZZ Rodham, We currently aren't accepting any ugly ass liberal arts major coke-bottle glasses wearing Yalie sisters. But thank you for your interest in our training program”

Though I believe this new search based on a photo taken shortly after Earhart disappered is privately funded.

Actually, I also was inspired as a child by Amelia Earhardt. I read books about her and learning to fly was one of the dreams I realized. I also wanted to become an astronaut..but that was Alan Shepherd and John Glenn’s doing.

Still, I’m not against the search for Earhardt, she is still one of my inspirations.

Hillary! was born, as you say, in 1947. Sally Ride, who was exceptionally young, and the youngest US Astronaut ever when she first went into space, was born in 1951. Judy Resnick, who died in Challenger, was born in 1949. So while Hillary!’s story of being rejected by the circa-1960 male dominated NASA culture is plausible, it just shows her unwillingness to pursue her dream in the face of obstacles other women in her age cohort/peer group were able to successfully overcome. IOW Hillary! was a quitter, who is now a whinner.

Don’t take Skypilot’s post so personally. He was trying to bring awareness to words. Besides, he has been around for over a decade.

[what's up]

Why don’t these scumbags look for the remains of our men lost in WWII when they got lost on patrol, ran out of fuel, and crashed into the Pacific?

My suspicion is that Hillary sees feminism starting to crumble. The Fluke thing has blown up in their face and Planned Parenthood is failing fast.

She's hoping to re-invigorate the Earhart legend which so inspired feminists in the past.

Heinous always has a political reason for EVERYthing she does.

With modern technology the search will be short, and it's something Hillary! can jump out in front of at the right moment:

With just a bit of imagination stirred in, it looks like Amelia and Fred ditched their plane near an island inhabited only by crabs... and died there...

With all respect to the deceased, it kinda looks like an example of a couple of people who began to put a bit too much belief in their own hype.

Then again maybe the martians got 'em.

Real reason: she found Obama’s birth certificate

[CJ Wolf]

She said that when she was growing up in Illinois her mother was an Earnhardt fan and filled her ears with stories of the racer’s derring-do. This led Clinton to dream of herself becoming a driver – so she wrote NASCAR when she was 13 to ask whether she could qualify. They wrote back saying no women drivers.

[tanknetter]

Yup, why not go after the Flight 19 Avengers instead? Or for the one Doolittle Raider B-25 that successfully ditched off the Chinese coast (not Lawson’s “Ruptured Duck” which was torn apart by it’s wheels down water landing)

[Karliner]

If Hillary Clinton were backing the search, she would be using her own damn millions, not my tax money. It’s a political stunt. She must have inside information that something has been found, and wants to use the successful search as a boost for her presidential ambitions.

Bears repeating!

I think we could start listing all of the endeavors a young Hillary might have been inspired to aspire to.

Freepers have great imaginations.
