NASA Announces It Found Water On Mars, Rush Limbaugh Says It’s a Liberal Climate Change Conspiracy

Those nefarious scientists!

OK, flowing water on Mars. If we’re even to believe that, what are they going to tell us that means? That’s what I’m going to wait for. Because I guarantee, let’s just wait and see, this is September 28, let’s just wait and see. Don’t know how long it’s going to take, but this news that there is flowing water on Mars is somehow going to find its way into a technique to advance the leftist agenda. I don’t know what it is, I would assume it would be something to do with global warming and you can — maybe there was once an advanced civilization. If they say they found flowing water, next they’re going to find a graveyard.

Yeah Rush, NASA is faking all the data about our climate and the melting ice caps. Flowing water on Mars is just the latest part of the conspiracy to make us all think that climate change is real. NASA is a vile communist organization! They exist solely to promote a leftist agenda, and none of the scientists or engineers who worked for years to get a collage education, and then even harder to get their masters degrees, and PHDs, only to find out that the organization that hired them only wanted them to pretend and make up nonsense to promote a political agenda, didn’t rage quite and expose the conspiracy to the public. Yeah Rush, yeah that’s really “believable.”

CriticalDragon1177  Sep 28, 2015 • 10:49:51pm

Also come to think of it, if NASA was going to fake a graveyard on Mars, wouldn’t that mean they’d have to fake a civilization to go along with it? If they were going to do that, why did NASA refute claims about evidence of a Martian civilization in the past?

Yes, new science usually does directly influence the “leftist” agenda in some way. Bizarre, huh?

re: #11 Dr. Matt

I wonder … is this reflexive hostility towards scientific discovery just part&parcel of a concerted attempt to glorify an anti-science agenda?

Because science is based on hard, verifiable facts. And acknowledging facts is something that is utterly antithetical to the RWNJ agenda; it leads to having to do something about climate change, the failure of trickle-down economics & the destruction of the middle class, the success of Obamacare, etc. etc.

Have we gone so far that the NASA space program, once a source of national pride, has to be derided by Rush because it threatens his hold over his listener’s minds?

Is that after Putin showed up at the opening of a new major mosque in Moscow?

Known as the Moscow Cathedral Mosque, the grand structure can accommodate 10,000 people on three stories and replaces a much smaller building erected in 1904. The previous two-story mosque, with a squat dome and two short minarets, held only 1,000 people.

“Finally, Moscow, which lays claim to the title of the biggest Muslim city in Europe, has a big mosque,” said Aleksei Malashenko, an expert on Islam at the Carnegie Moscow Center. “It shows that the center of Islamic life in the Russian Federation is in Moscow.”

There are just three other official mosques in a city with a Muslim population that could be as high as two million. No one knows, because there are no exact public numbers. (Russian census numbers have long been considered dubious, and about 10 years ago, the government stopped counting according to ethnicity, which had been broadly used to estimate religious affiliation.)

re: #18 Khal Wimpo

It’s an anti-progress agenda more than an anti-science agenda. There’s a segment of the conservative movement that thinks everything went down hill after the industrial revolution. The old joke in social sciences is: when in doubt blame the industrial revolution (and if it’s before the industrial revolution, blame the fall of the Roman Empire).

You’ve summed it up; It’s not water on Mars specifically, it’s that finding water on Mars as predicted validates science and its methods. That is anathema to those who feel that if they remain ignorant about things then those things can’t hurt them. They’re obsolete people and that’s just dawning on them, thus the desperate need to get the rest of us to sign off on their bullshit.

Some good news: looks like a good chunk of my hearing in my right ear has returned after another round of oral steroids. My hearing test song (where I could not hear the bass line since the initial flare-up two months ago) I can now hear.I still got the tinnitus, but I’ve head that since my first diagnosis back in the 90’s. I picked up an app from Starkey which allows you to perform a quick DIY hearing test-and lit logs previous tests. Before Left ear was in the middle area (orange) and my right ear was in the deep red area. After this last test, both L and R ears are in dead center.

I’ll go see the ENT in 6-8 weeks for a follow-up.

Cunningham, an anti-abortion activist, declined to identify the date, location or authors of the video in an interview with TIME Monday night, saying his group makes agreements of confidentiality in an effort to acquire images of abortions. He also made no claim that the images shown in the video had anything to do with Planned Parenthood, the organization that Fiorina and others have targeted for federal defunding. “I am neither confirming or denying the affiliation of the clinic who did this abortion,” Cunningham said.

And here I went to Catholic school all the way through high school and I think abortion should be left up to the woman (her husband if married) and the doctors.

I have no problems with others making their own determination. I think that is called freedom and I thought that was what this country was all about.

And, no matter what…they will continue even if made illegal again.

Technically, the reason that they’d be taking the 5th is because the acts they engaged in to make the video were against the law - taping without consent is a criminal offense. Admitting that would be an admission of guilt. That they were edited and hacked together with footage completely unrelated to PP is besides the point.

Rowan details a number of cases of women in the United States facing prosecution for ending or attempting to end their own pregnancies, often by clandestinely procuring and ingesting abortion-inducing medications. Reproductive health advocates worry that self-induced abortion, and the safety concerns associated with it, will become a more common phenomenon as the surge in state abortion restrictions limits access to legal abortion care under proper medical supervision for growing numbers of U.S. women.

“The impact of restrictions on abortion services falls hardest upon low-income women,” says Rowan. “Some women want to terminate their pregnancies but live in hostile geographic areas and have limited resources and support. They are left with no practical options other than to self-induce, which in turn may put them at risk of prosecution. This situation is all too familiar in some countries where abortion is highly restricted.”

Big tough manly-man Republicans scared to be taken on by a woman so they cry about it like the little boys they really are.

What I really do not understand is how these Republicans involved with this hearing can go home (or wherever) and see themselves in the media and how they are acting and not think what asses they are. That takes a very high-level of dickishness to achieve.

She was probably bleeding out of … somewhere.

Well, I was wondering where Ben Carson got his beliefs about the Constitution from. I thought it was David Barton, but it’s worse. He’s a fan of the late Cleon Skousen.

motherjones.com

Way back in 1986, Evan Mecham, who became governor of Arizona, touted Cleon Skousen (a resident of Utah) as his political mentor. Mecham’s term in office was abruptly ended by impeachment, but not before he dumped the MLK Day holiday. His mentor believed King was a communist.

There’s more, go check the link out, but if you want to understand why Ben Carson is an absolute whackjob, Cleon Skousen is your man.

re: #87 lawhawk

Technically, the reason that they’d be taking the 5th is because the acts they engaged in to make the video were against the law - taping without consent is a criminal offense. Admitting that would be an admission of guilt. That they were edited and hacked together with footage completely unrelated to PP is besides the point.

They probably violated lots of other laws as well, related to identity theft and creating an LLC with false credentials, etc.

California is investigating their fake credential, because when you apply for a driver’s license or other state ID, you have to make a sworn statement that you are who you say you are.

Yes, that too. I’m just going with the one that is absolutely certain to have been an illegal act - the proof being that the video contains interactions with those who did not give permission to be videotaped.

Okay…where did I mess up? I was trying to respond to the idea that if everyone went to a Christian school there would be no abortion. I was intending to say I did go to a Christian school and yet I still think abortion should be legal and the decision of the woman her doctors and if she is married the husband would have input.

I’m not seeing where I screwed up, please tell me, I wrote it and I have a pretty good headache and stress going today, so I am not thinking clearly.

Could be taken to mean that if a woman was married it would be her husbands decision, although in context I think it was pretty clear you didn’t mean it that way.

Our media simply put sucks. No one has the balls to ask Carson how by his own admission benefitted from the same government programs he wants to dramatically weaken or destroy. Not to mention his pathetic comparing the US in its current state to Nazi Germany. He really needs to be torn to shreds along with the other GOP laiars.

Carson was my first presidential sticker, way back in January. It was on an SUV with Indiana plates, driven by an older (than my 55 years, so probably retired) black man in the Wendy’s parking lot here in Mesa, AZ. I KNOW that man thought I was a whackjob for going back around the building for a picture.

You may have seen last week where I got into an argument with a driver, but not over politics. I’ve decided that it’s always better to call someone an ‘idiot’ than an ‘asshole’ because it is easy to lipread ‘asshole’ so they know what you said even if you whisper, but you can smile all the way through ‘idiot’ and no one is the wiser.
