Rush Limbaugh pans evidence of water on Mars as part of 'leftist agenda'
Source: Politico
Flowing water on Mars? Thats just part of the liberal agenda, Rush Limbaugh says.
The conservative radio talk show host addressed NASAs announcement on Monday that it had found evidence of flowing water on present-day Mars, and spoiler alert he doesnt believe it.
OK so there's flowing water on Mars. Yip yip yip yahoo. Hey, you know me, I'm science 101, big time guy, tech advance it, you know it, I'm all in. But, NASA has been corrupted by the current regime, Limbaugh said on his show, according to [link:http://mediamatters.org/video/2015/09/28/after-nasa-announces-it-found-water-on-mars-rus/205820
|Media Matters]. 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.
Limbaugh said that although he wasnt entirely sure what the agenda was, he was going to assume it would be something to do with global warming.

And conservatives actually buy into this shit:
"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."

Fresh off his insane theory that Obama secretly controls the Pope and John Roberts, Rush continues to go full Alex Jones to try to stop his declining ratings and relevance.
Of course, Oxyboy has yet to figure out the real plot, in which Obama plans to enlist the Martians in his bid for global takeover and to establish a one-world UN gub'mint:

(27,509 posts)Would Finding Alien Life Change Religious Philosophies?
By Megan Gannon, News Editor | October 09, 2014 07:21am ET
The discovery of extraterrestrial beings be they slimy microbes or little green men would dramatically change the way we humans view our place in the universe. But would it shatter religion? Well, that depends on what you believe.
In his new book "Religions and Extraterrestrial Life" (Springer 2014), David Weintraub, an astronomer at Vanderbilt University, takes a close look at how different faiths would handle the revelation that we're not alone. Some of his findings might surprise you.
<snip>
But some Christians who interpret the Bible quite literally might actually have an easier time incorporating the existence of aliens into their spiritual cosmology. Many Seventh-day Adventists, for example, are creationists who believe the Earth was literally created by God in six days some 6,000 years ago and that humans descended and inherited original sin from Adam and Eve. In that line of thinking, life could exist on other planets, but beings that didn't descend from Adam and Eve on Earth wouldn't be inherently sinful, and effectively, they wouldn't need Christianity to be saved, Weintraub told Live Science.
Seventh-day Adventism's flexibility with regard to aliens might be a product of the time in which the religion was founded (the 19th century). During the 1700s and 1800s, there was a strong popular belief in extraterrestrial life, Weintraub said. The telescope (a relatively recent invention) finally allowed astronomers to peek at other planets and moons in our solar system, but scientists didn't yet fully understand that these celestial bodies were barren. And perhaps it's no coincidence that the religions that began at that time Mormonism, Seventh-day Adventism, Jehovah's Witnesses, the Baha'i Faith all have a strong belief in extraterrestrial life, Weintraub said.

(27,509 posts)In 1976, two Viking spacecraft landed on Mars with experiments specifically designed to test for the presence of life.
And they found it.
But the initial excitement quickly disappeared.
One experiment was negative - it was a false negative, we now know, but it was decided the other positive results must be wrong.
This was like a door slamming shut. It happened in just a few days. It suddenly became scientific dogma that there was no life on Mars surface.
And because of that scientific dogma bullshit, we never sent another experiment to test for life. Not even on the Curiosity rover.
I don't think the 2020 rover will have any experiments for detecting current life either - just ancient life.
That dogmatic misinterpretation of the data set us back 40 years.
Finally, today we hear:
"It suggests it would be possible for there to be life on Mars today," said John Grunsfeld, a former astronaut who now leads NASA's science division.

Global warming - he could have said "feminism" or "destroying America", both would have made as much sense and both connect in his listeners ears.

"I'm over the moon I never thought this day would come," the 38-year-old told the Associated Press.
Scarpinati, of Athens, New York, was just 3 months old when she rolled onto a hot-steam vaporizer, leaving her with both terrible burns and years of ridicule due to her disfigurement. But it was photos of herself as a baby being cradled by a nurse that helped her get through her toughest times. ...

(45,984 posts)I haven't figure out how this is going to fit into any "leftist agenda." In fact, I haven't the foggiest idea how the opposite would fit into a rightist agenda.
I think we should honor El Boca Grande, Mr. Limbaugh, by making him the first man on Mars. Why? Because Mars has no metallic core, like Earth, and therefor has no magnetic field, like Earth, to protect it from solar winds and other nasty things emitted by the Sun. Just put him him there, perhaps on a mountain climbing expedition on Olympus Mons and when a solar flare goes racing his way, then Rush turns into a toasted marshmallow in a matter of seconds.
Couldn't happen to anyone more deserving, unless it's Donald Trump.

(15,805 posts)So obviously Republicans must oppose it. There too not many things that are safe for this bunch to support, just pollution, extraction, money, guns, gods and war. That's it. Seems like a hard sell from a marketing standpoint because the life expectancy of their customer base is severely impacted by their lethal agenda.
