How long before Barry orders it to do a fly-over over NYC for a photo-op?

This is the best one though:

NAMBLA is a left-wing organization.

There's a reason why patriotism is considered a conservative value. Watch a Tea Party rally and you'll see people proudly raising the American flag and showing pride in U.S. heroes such as Thomas Jefferson. Watch an OWS rally and you'll see people burning the American flag while showing pride in communist heroes such as Che Guevera. --Bob, from some news site

TY for the link!

I thought this was a good response to DUmbasses complaining about what a "waste" of money the space program is.

Quote
There has always been the dissent that we should not "waste" money and human capital on exploring space, that there are too many problems on Earth that need fixing first. To that there are many possible responses, some practical (i.e. Why did the dinosaurs go extinct?- Because they had no space program). But a cultural and philosophical response is equally valid: What we do as a country militarily, and through our international commerce, is mainly just maintenance, trying to deal with the day-to-day needs of economic and nationalistic survival. These imperatives will always exist. Turning our vision to the stars shows we also can dream beyond our Earthly limits. No other species has ever done this. This is priceless.

“The national budget must be balanced. The public debt must be reduced; the arrogance of the authorities must be moderated and controlled. Payments to foreign governments must be reduced, if the nation doesn't want to go bankrupt. People must again learn to work, instead of living on public assistance.”
