The UFO congressional hearing was 'insulting' to US employees, a top Pentagon official says

19. Ooh... I think you've got it!

>> BE AFRAID VERY AFRAID of Congress throwing money at a non existing problem.

Beyond jacking up the emotions of the low info voter, such that they once again rely on the repugs to "keep them safe" this is exactly what they're aiming for -- especially as they speak of going after and shutting down our social security checks. Gotta have one hell of a reason to take grandma and grandpa's only means of eating and keeping a roof over their heads. They've gone through everything else. The only reason that seems left to them now is the "little green men from Mars" are coming for us reason.

I'm one of the people who really WANTS to believe life exists out there in the Cosmos. My dad always said it was a huge waste of space if no one else lived in the Universe except us. But neither of us were astronomers... we were only dreamers. Now R's want to turn the dream into a nightmare for millions. Shame on them! It's just a money grab. Do I want to believe in life in the Cosmos? Hell, Yes, I do. But gods, people; the entire idea has to be tempered with common sense. And therein lies the problem. The entire concept of "common sense" and critical thinking is lost in the United States and has been for some 50 years. I say "Shame" on the R party, but they feel no shame. Have no idea what shame is. And they couldn't care less. They prove that every single day.
