Quoting: Anonymous Coward 70771910 A man who took monumental secrets to the grave with him, was complicit in the perpetration of the smoke screen put up by NASA, to hide the real truth of what they were doing, and this is what you consider a hero? Really do not want to go here, but Boomers are the most arrogant, brainwashed, gullible generation in the history of mankind, followed by the millennial. This is a conspiracy site, well , it used to be. I was truly waiting for this. Spot in to the T! Ha! Anderson Cooper runs this site actually. Heard it on glp with a link posted too! I lost it though, it was taken off the site as soon as i read it ! You are full of shit and you know it. |

And you people are wishing him well? That is absolutely surprising. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 36429740 I for one could not care less. And, I would hope my fellow countrymen would have enough sense to pull their heads out of their asses. Only the spineless are flexible enough to put their heads in their asses in the first place. Grow a pair. Standing up for what is right is a hard line. I suggest you people grow a pair and start collectively getting this country back on track. That starts with not believing the lies! Don't be a bunch of idiots. He may have been a great Marine but he was a horrible, despicable democrap senator. May he rest in peace in spite of it. Check my post davvi ... you're not wrong, but he wasn't dyed in the wool leftist, and actually did quite a bit to support veterans. I absolutely do not agree with his opposition to some of the finest military projects in the history of man, and some of his social policies were straight out of the swamp, but I don't believe he was a bad man, and the democraps have proven they are capable of finding far more dangerous specimens to send to DC. The Chinese are able to successfully launch rockets thanks to the Clintons' and Loral. John Glenn covered up for Bill Clinton and never allowed the investigation of both Clintons to move forward. That action cleared the way for that awful woman to become my Senator. I don't wish him ill as I realize he served our country, but I can not mourn him. My prayers will be for comfort to those who do mourn him... +1 |

Yeah, things were exciting back then....and he was a major player. RIP Col Glenn, and thanks for the good times. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 5460876 One of my favorite examples of an American Hero. The world is a little bit more sorry-ass without men like John Glenn to look-up to. . John Glenn had balls of steel. He was a test pilot before being drafted as an astronaut. If you visit Cape Canaveral you can see the capsules that were part of the space program at that time. Those capsules were shitty at best. Kind of like riding a tin can into space. Add to that, NASA was using Nazi rocket engines from the German V2 program, to power some of the early Redstone rockets.

Anonymous Coward User ID: 56847470 United States 12/09/2016 01:37 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | From GUN CONTROL by Robert J. Kukla edited by Harlon B. Carter Past President National Rifle Association Copyright © 1973 by National Rifle Association of America Quote: In the period immediately following the assassination of Senator Robert Kennedy a special national committee was established for the purpose of stampeding gun registration through the Congress. The special group was the action-arm of the National Council for a Responsible Firearms Policy, previously mentioned. It was headed by former astronaut John Glenn, who claimed to have been a personal friend of Senator Robert Kennedy. The Chicago's American of June 20, 1968, reported on the meeting which had been held in the office of the U.S. Attorney General resulting in the formation of the group: "Officials of the N.C.R.F.P. and representatives of 38 organizations met this week with United States Atty. Gen. Ramsey Clark in Washington to discuss firearms control. After the meeting, Clark announced that a committee of the council had been formed to enlist support from the public and organizations thruout the country. The committee is known as the emergency committee for gun control of the National Council for a Responsible Firearms Policy." Moving rapidly, John Glenn, Chairman of the Emergency Committee for Gun Control of the National Council for a Responsible Firearms Policy, called a press conference at which he demanded registration of all guns and the licensing of all those who owned or used guns, in addition to a complete ban on the interstate sale and shipment of firearms to private citizens. Before long the John Glenn Emergency Committee for Gun Control was generating advertisements promoting gun registration, issuing press releases designed to enlist public support for the proposals of the Emergency Committee, soliciting broadcasting stations around the country to make spot announcements and editorials favoring gun registration, and arranging for speeches and public appearances on behalf of gun prohibition—deceptively called gun control. Another product of the Emergency Committee for Gun Control was a full page magazine ad which included a convenient clip-out coupon to be mailed by readers to their Senators or Congressman, plus a solicitation of cash contributions to help the program. The ad opened in this compelling manner: "You're a good citizen. You don't break laws. You're responsible about guns. You like to hunt. To target shoot. No one has the right to take your gun away. We agree. And no one wants to. What we do want to do is take guns away from convicted murderers, thieves, psychopaths, delinquents, alcoholics and drug addicts." (New Chronicle Pub. Co., Los Angeles, Cal.) ... Quote: In the meanwhile, the House voted down gun registration on July 19, 1968, and on July 23, 1968, it rejected by a vote of 179 to 84 an amendment which would have required licensing of gun owners. The next day, July 24, 1968, the House passed the bill prohibiting interstate mail order sales of rifles and shotguns by a vote of 304 to 118. This last bill was also accompanied by three very important amendments. One amendment which passed by 218 votes to 205 exempted rifle and shotgun ammunition from the bill, thus making its ban applicable only to pistol and revolver ammunition. Another amendment provided for a special license for gun collectors so that they might have access to out of state sources and markets for collector-type firearms. The preceding amendment was affirmed by a 225 to 198 vote and it exempted shipments of firearms and ammunition by the Secretary of the Army to organizations, institutions, or individuals qualified to receive them pursuant to the various programs of the Civilian Marksmanship Program of the National Board for the Promotion of Rifle Practice. Immediately the amendment exempting the Civilian Marksmanship Program was attacked. John Glenn issued a statement on behalf of the Emergency Committee for Gun Control demanding the elimination of the amendment, reportedly asserting: "It is a curious result of congressional inadvertance and the National Rifle Association contempt for our process of government." (Pensacola, Fla., News: July 29, 1968) |
