I have no problem with John McCain at all, you spend 5 years getting the shit kicked out of you every single day and see how you react to the abuse. View Quote If I come out hating the liberties of others and seeking to defile our republic then I should never be permitted to attain public office. Fuck the traitor John McCain. |

This thread will not go the way OP intended... or will it? View Quote Meh. My response is the same as it is for every other anti-gunner that served the nation. "Thanks for your service, you're wrong so STFU or GTFO. This nation you love did not become great because of government control." |

I never understand the Hero worship. If he was gun Grabber then why he was not a hero.
It's not like he jumped on a grenade sparing the lives of a bunch of Marines. |

I guess being a pilot or astronaut subjects you to oxygen deprivation and brain damage.
What's with all the fuckwits who started off as pilots? Glenn, McCain, Kelly... |

Yup. I like to wait until people are in the grave before I piss on it.

John Glenn never went to the moon.
Never. Not once. At all. Neil Armstrong doesn't even sound remotely like John Glenn so I don't know how they get confused. Chuck Yeager never liked John Glenn,is still far more of a badass,never tried to take anyone's guns nor did he take a quarter million $ he shouldn't have |

Quoted:
John Glenn is a true American hero. He went up into the unknown, when the odds for survival where unknown, where the risks were unknown, where the country looked to him as a brave warrior. We were in our infancy in understanding space, and the technology to get us there. There was a lot of uncertainty during that time and he stepped up and answered the call. His political views aside, his service and willingness to put his life on the line is something to marvel at. View Quote This right here. I respect him, despite his faults. |

He didn't go to the fucking moon. Even less reason to hero worship him I had him mixed up with other astronauts who went to the moon. He wasn't allowed to. JFK secretly banned him from further space launches because it was risky and he didn't want the nation loosing a hero. |

John Glenn was my Senator for years.
He had a distinguished military and astronaut career. He was a left wing commie pinko who took a lot of cash from Keating and was in on the AWB. I believe he sacrificed a lot early on for America, then his libtardedness tried to destroy America. I voted against John Glenn every single time. |

This.
I have come to know guys that knew John Glenn very well, they're all piles of assholes with God complexes. The willful ignorance and hubris is/was nauseating. I'm sure it takes a special breed to go through the rigors that space demands but it doesn't excuse his life of decisions to remove liberties from common men. |

John Glenn was a great astronaut. But, he also was an anti-Constitution Democrat who hated Republicans. He also was on the wrong side of national security history. He also was involved in the "Keating Five Scandal" political corruption episode. http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_HyyDHyAwI6k/SQNh6-WnfFI/AAAAAAAADho/BhQNn6Vky7M/s400/keating+five.jpg http://businessjournaldaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/Glenn.jpg http://www.crooksandliars.com/files/uploads/2008/10/mccain_keating5_1705c.JPG View Quote But, but, but....muh astronaut!!! |

This where older members who remember John Glenn trying to remove your rights to own a firearm are important. John Glenn is not all American apple pie like you think he was. He was against defending the USA against Communist Russia and he wanted to ban guns. Pro–gun control advocates mobilized and constructed an effective pro–gun control pressure group called the Emergency Committee for Gun Control. The bipartisan organization was headed by Colonel John H. Glenn, Jr., a former astronaut and friend of Senator Robert Kennedy. Those who oppose criticism of John Glenn's anti-2A, pro-Soviet doctrine don't know the history of our country. |

Those who deserve repect will get it, those that dont....well....fuck them. View Quote Exactly. I'm curious how many of those expressing outrage were not alive (or were too young to understand) when Glenn was in office? Given the huge percentage of members under the age of forty, I'll bet that quite a few here have absolutely no knowledge about Glenn's lockstep allegiance to the most corrosive elements of the Democrat agenda. And that's sad but understandable because I can't imagine the educational system over the last four decades has ever informed the American youth about Glenn's attack on the Second Amendment or in any way leveled criticism towards Glenn's progressive policies. Before you jump to your feet and brand his critics here as heartless, un-American trolls who are speaking ill of the dead, take a moment and consider, just consider, that you may not be aware of the very relevant history that underlies that criticism. I realize that an accepted protocol on this forum is to hate everything and everyone. I can't speak for anyone else but I can sincerely guarantee you that my contempt for John Glenn is not yet another example of irrational negativity. And I'm willing to bet that every other Glenn critic who posts in this or the related threads would say the same. Glenn was an adamant opponent to the Second Amendment and was a very powerful member of the Democratic Party's gun control faction. He and his fellow travelers would have gladly stripped you of your guns and made you a felon over night if he could. He would have destroyed your life and your family if he felt it necessary to accomplish the "greater good." He was not your friend, he was an enemy of freedom. He was a brave man who did many incredible things but he was also an authoritarian demigod and an ardent enemy of the Constitution. I will never forgive him or forget his tyrannical ways and I refuse to honor him in any way. |
