Perhaps, but he’s also a nanny state liberal A-hole.
Even the most perfect machine isn’t perfect.
You can have the RIGHT stuff, the RIGHT values, and the RIGHT attitude, and somehow still get seduced into falling for a bunch of left wing nonsense.
In the early ‘80’s, I was supposed to go to a Boy Scout event...and Glenn was scheduled to be there. A real live astronaut!
He backed out at the last minute.
Good guy, just can’t figure why and how he was such a lib while a senator. Must’ve drank the kool-aid along the way.
When I lived in Ohio, each week our local paper published the votes of our 2 Senators and the Representative in the House. All three were left-leaning Democrats. Senators were Glenn and Metzenbaum. House Representative was Fingerhut. Nearly every week, their votes made me feel nauseated. That’s how I remember Glenn.
Go to hell John Glenn.
John Glenn is a worthless POS.
Obviously I agree about the poltics
But the story’s about his wife... I found his loyalty moving, anyway
Glenn is also a war hero and all the rest, I would call him naive and soft hearted to the extreme politically, for whatever reason
He’s not the nasty breed of gangster-commie we see today, anyway
I fart in John Glens general direction.
John Glenn was a real life, honest to God HERO.
Then he became a politician.
Then he accepted a bribe.
End of Hero
Too bad he sold his soul for a ride on the shuttle. No telling how much damage he did to us by refusing to look into Clinton’s Chinese money.
As a fellow Ohion, I used to respect John Glenn. When I was a kid, he was actually one of my heroes. But, any man who would sell his integrity for one last ride on a rocket ship is no man worth respecting or even considering as a hero.
The stench of Clintonian situational ethics will forever linger over the name “John Glenn”.
I have no use for this political whore. He’s one more embarassment from Ohio (Kookcinich, Voinovich, Metzenbaum, etc). I’ll never forget this ba$tard’s attitude and how he voted when it came to throwing the Clinton pig out of office.
John Glenn is garbage.
What a beautiful love story. Everything else people wrote about is true, but what a beautiful love story.
This is my idea of a hero!I once debated the merits of freemasonry on Free Republic. Several freemason apologists expected me to be impressed with the fact that every astronaut throughout the 1960s was a freemason.
My take? I would have been impressed to find out that say, freemasons made up only 5% of the population, but 60% of astronauts. But 100%? I was supposed to feel better about freemasons because they succeeded in discriminating against non-masons to the unbelievable extent that only their initiates were allowed in the space program? That doesn’t make them heroes; that makes them conspiratorial a$$40!35!!!
Fortunately for my tinfoil-hat collection, I presumed such a claim was simple boastful hyperbole. But it does seem strange that John Glenn’s was such a vile, corrupt, left-wing, moonbatty (Oh, THAT’S where the word comes from? HHOK!) freak as a politician. On the other hand, the freemasons who dominated the USSC for so many decades were radical, anti-democracy villains, to a person.
(The Freemasons of Washington’s time had only three degrees. Those who are now called “Freemasons” now are most commonly members of the Scottish Rite, an organization founded by Freemasons and which does require masonic membership to join.)
A member of the Keating 5 who was loyal to his wife.
I will refrain from making a statement about this socialist misguided soul. Ooops!
LLS
From hero to zero, as far as I’m concerned.
