Speaking of which, is it because we have a Republican president or has NASA been able to filter out anti-American fools from its ranks? The deep impact mission and the first Mars rover landing both took place on the 4th of July.

No. Major beginnings or conclusions of space projects are timed to coincide with holidays to make them a bit more memorable.

Remember that Pathfinder/Sojourner landed on Mars on July 4th, 1997...during the second term of Komrade Klinton.
