It's not just him. A lot of people here go the "you're brainwashed by Fox News, Rush Limbaugh, etc" route if you disagree with them. I guess if you don't have facts the only thing left is to insult others.

I don't "need" pants either, and yet I find myself using them everyday.
You cannot seriously be downplaying how important and pervasive in modern life satellite tech is.
Eh, Goldy brings it to a whole other level to where its absolute condescension.

Do we "need" our military police force that you so vehemently support?
I hope we never do need them. I fear the worst and that we will in the future.
Not to split hairs or anything, but did NASA actually 'invent' GPS? I was under the impression it was a military technology (completed on contract by a Northrop-Grumann-type moreso than NASA) that was later commercialized. A quick search seems to indicate NASA is a guardian of the program, currently, but says little about its involvement in conception.

I don't think you're brainwashed if you watch/listen to them
You just aren't that intelligent and want to hear stupid **** that keeps you scared etc
It is easy to brainwash dumb people though

This reminds me of people saying I always support this or that
When there has been a long list of time I point out or post things saying the opposite
The narrative doesn't stand up to facts cause they want to overlook that to make it fit the narrative

Totally... I know I need local police force driving tanks.
I love it how you're stating your opinion as absolute fact.

a small list cause you either don't know how to search or don't want to:
• CAT Scanners: If you have ever been treated with a CAT scanner or know of a loved one who has, you have the space program to thank for this. This cancer-detecting tech was first used to find imperfections in space components.
• The Computer Microchip: Modern microchips descend from integrated circuits used in the Apollo Guidance Computer.
• Cordless Tools: If you have ever picked up a cordless tool you have NASA to thank for that. Power drills and vacuum cleaners were used to drill for moon samples.
• Ear Thermometers: Commonly used in hospitals, the technology used in the ear thermometers originated from a camera-like lens that detected infrared energy used to monitor the birth of stars.
• Freeze-dried food: This process reduces the food weight and increases the shelf life without sacrificing the nutritional value.
• Insulation: With winter on its way, I'm sure you can thank NASA for this one...!! Home insulation uses reflective materials that protects the spacecraft from radiation.
• Enriched baby food: NASA was experimenting with algae as a food supply for long space trips and found a component of algae has two fatty acids similar to those found in human breast milk. It led to the development of an enriched infant formula call Formulaid.
• Light-Emitting Diodes (LED): Developed by NASA,the red light-emitting diodes were used to grow plants in space. Later this technology was developed in medical devices for muscle pain relief/relaxation, joint pain, arthritis and muscle spasms. Later generations of the technology are used to combat the symptoms of bone atrophy, multiple sclerosis, diabetic complications and Parkinson's disease.
• Memory Foam: I'm sure we've all seen the 'mattress TV commercials' highlighting this feature. This foam was first created for aircraft seats and helmets to soften landing and impact by absorbing shock and returning to its original shape.
• The Joystick: Video Game enthusiast should know about this one... The joystick was first used on the Apollo Luner Rover.
• Scratch resistant lenses: Anybody who wears glasses, ski goggles, etc... can associate with this one. Astronaut helmet visor coatings make the lenses 10X more scratch resistant.
• Shoe insoles: Cushion insoles and even the air pocket found in most athletic shoes, first originated from NASA boot designs to lessen impact by adding spring and ventilation.
• Smoke detectors: You know that thing on the ceiling that beeps every time you open the oven...?? Turns out this lifesaving device (adjustable smoke detector) was also invented by NASA.
• Solar energy: I'm sure we all have seen solar panels on top of buildings, houses and even on our desk calculator... Harnessing the sun's solar energy as a power source originated with the efforts of a NASA-sponsored 28-member coalition of companies, government groups, universities and non-profits to form the Environmental Research Aircraft and Sensor Technology Alliance (ERAST). Their goal (at the time) was to develop an unmanned aircraft that was able to maintain high altitude flight for days at a time... the solution: harnessing the sun's energy for power.
• Powdered Lubricants: NASA scientists developed a solid oil-free lubricant capable of operating at high temperatures with increased reliability, lowered weight, reduced maintenance, lower friction, reduces emissions and increased power...
• The water filter: I'm sure we have all used one of these things (i.e. Brita) NASA pioneered the technology to filter water and kill bacteria for water taken to space...
• Space Blankets: Silver and lightweight and resembling a giant sheet of aluminum foil, these sci-fi looking blankets are commonly used by mountain climbers and long-distance runners... they are even given out for free at almost every marathon.
• Land mine removal: NASA's surplus of rocket fuel is used to produce a flare that can safely destroy land mines. NASA is able to reduce propellant waste without negatively impacting the environment.
• Flame-resistant textiles: After the tragic Apollo 1 launch that killed three astronauts in a fire, NASA developed a line of fire-resistant textiles used in space suits and vehicles. Today they are commonly used by firefighters, motor sports and other applications.
• Thermometer Pill: NASA developed an ingestible pill in the 1980s that wirelessly monitors the astronaut's core body temperature from the inside. Today this tech is used by athletic teams and professionals to monitor and keep the players safe.
• Long distance telecommunications: Do you own a smartphone or ever made a long distance phone call...?? Before humans were even sent into space, NASA launched a bunch of satellites into Earth's orbit to monitor space and communicate to scientist on the ground. Overtime this technique/technology was adopted to over 200 communication satellites that connect us to our loved ones everyday...
• Highway safety grooving: Admit it... you (like me) have driven late at night and accidentally drifted to the shoulder of the road driving over this grooving... or maybe you noticed the gooving pattern on the road when approaching a stop sign. Either way, Safety Grooving was first experimented by NASA back in the 1960s as a way to improve safety for aircraft taking off on wet runways. According to NASA, safety gooving reduced highway accidents by 85% after going into effect...

Well, I'm probably as well educated(graduated with honors in business and economics) as you are and I sure as hell don't buy into anything you believe. Many libs such as yourself(not all, however) seem to have a psychological need to run down anyone who has a different opinion than you(the person has to be stupid, brainwashed, etc) Is it because you have self esteem problems and you need to feel superior? Are you just emotionally immature? Seriously, I want to know what makes people like you tick.
yeezus
It's OVER 5,000!
There are a ton of people that you described on both sides. O'Reilly and Hannity are two of the biggest assholes in this country. Their show is based on it, and scaring people.

<B>if my thought dreams could be seen</B>
Sweet, I have a psychological problem now. Thanks doc
Can't speak for anyone else here, but what makes me tick is seeing the absurdity that comes out of Hannity's mouth. It goes beyond stupidity, hypocrisy, irony and moronity. Hannity makes O'Reilly look tame, and I know for the most part Bill O is sort of playing a character like Colbert whereas I question if Hannity is genuinely that stupid. Same goes for Beck. Beck was a tame libertarian when he had his show on CNNHLN. When he moved over to Fox, he went farther right than either Hannity or O'Reilly. And people just kept eating it up. Beck was just a regular host until he got to FOX, then he saw potential to increase the value of his brand by going so right he made O'Reilly look like a moderate, speaking to the brainwashed and now he makes as much money as Rushbo because of it.
