Space exploration is has had a profound impact on the human existence. It comes with an enormous tab, but that should not be the sole factor in determining the rich reward that is reaped by stretching the human mind for the purpose of greater achievement.

Taking the two main combatants out of the equation, space exploration could be discussed in a “best ideas, best blueprints, best efforts” for the future.

Watching the Newtonian Implosion vs. the Promney Stagnation, it is painfully clear that making EITHER of them “better” candidates is an effort in futility.

If anything, watching, listening and reading how these two go about “solving” problems is an instruction manual on how NOT to behave in a manner befitting the most powerful man in the world. Giving either of these two the type of power that requires sober judgment and equanimity in temperament, would be like giving a two year old a loaded gun.

Instead of sober, refined and elegant discussion we are treated to puerile rants, dirty tricks, assaults on each other, assaults on the free market, petty spitball fights and vindictive character assassinations.

If Gingrich and the Newtonian Imposion fan club want to teach Romney how to be a better candidate, and they think ridicule is a poor technique for advancing serious arguments, I would suggest that would have slightly more credibility if Gingrich didn’t launch unprovoked attacks on others by calling their first draft efforts “RIGHT WING social engineering”.

It also seems to me, that someone engaged in sitting on Nancy Pelosi’s love seat while stroking her knee in order to advance the Trojan Horse redistribution scheme of the global warming hoax…is doing more to advance “social engineering” than Paul Ryan’s serious efforts to impact something…you know…that is actually OCCURRING …here on earth.

I would also suggest that worrying about grandmotherly border crashers, while admirably compassionate, is “social engineering” that does NOTHING to address the concerns of the very non-grandmotherly gang infestation, drug running and governmentally assisted gun running…often by households with grandmothers who help hide the criminal behavior in their homes.

Someone who makes snap judgments and reckless and erratic pronouncements with language that produces collateral damage to the free market in the fight against the Marxist overthrow, who props up Freddie Mac in an attempt to disguise their efforts to “socially engineer” the real estate, housing, mortgage, banking and financial markets…has no place lording down how others should behave in solving or PRIORITIZING the monumental problems that face America today.

Building Jurassic Parks and beaming down lighting for highways, hauling federal judges before Congress and having sex on the moon, while demeaning serious efforts to fix a $16 trillion dollar deficit, unsustainable entitlements (runaway social engineering) is a failure of character, a failure of judgment, a failure of temperament and a failure of loyalty to the fight against the Marxists.

Compound that with a class warfare assault on success in the free market and one can make Gingrich a much better candidate by taping his mouth shut.

A man who wishes to “transform” America by the stroke of his pen and in defiance of the checks and balances built into our Constitution and backed by the will of the people is ALREADY in the White House. The enormous bloated ego that believes the President is a ruler, rather than a steward and servant of the people, is a dangerous gun that far too often goes off half-cocked.

THIS is the result of having a contest between two “B” teamers. Petty, vindictive, ego driven, brand destroying, humiliation.

This appeals to a certain type of internet commenter. Just not enough voters to win an election that could decide the fate of the world.
