During a hearing of the House Committee on Science, Space, and Technology Tuesday, Republican Congressman Dana Rohrabacher managed to baffle and amaze when he asked about life on Mars.
[...] "You have indicated that Mars had a, was totally different thousands of years ago," the California congressman said, addressing a panel of space science experts.
"Is it possible that there was a civilization on Mars thousands of years ago?".
[...] Kenneth Farley — NASA Mars 2020 rover project scientist — had to start off his answer by correcting Rohrabacher's question.
"So, the evidence is that Mars was different billions of years ago, not thousands of years ago," Farley said.
[...] "Would you rule that out? That — see, there are some people — well, anyway," Rohrabacher said.
Farley answered: "I would say that is extremely unlikely."

This is an utterly absurd comment. Your using a bunch of false stereotypes to push your own socialist, atheist agenda. That, is all christians, want to kill gays, think the earth was created 6000 years ago, and all Republicans too. Ironically, much of this is true about mainline Islam. Its amazing how you can profess your love for Islam while at the same time you bash Christians with false accusations which are however true about Islam. We republicans respect gays, believe in equal economic opportunity, and do support science. Many christians as well do not believe in young earth creationism, and do not consider the bible to be a book of science, mainly a book of allegory and moral commentary. For us, we believe in conservative principles which is an ideology of decentralization based on moral principles and self discipline rather than by tyrannical rule., Rather than government, family is the center of our lives. We would rather live moral lives rather than become a bunch of immoral savages living under your socialist tyranny.

Then for the sake of your contingent, go to your bretheren on the alt-right, the Confederate/Gadsden flag-wavers, the actual honest to God Klansmen, the Dominionists, the violent homophobes, and rein them in.
The GOP constituency has a terrorism and extremism problem. You know how a lot of people ask where the hell all the moderate Muslims are every time there's a terror attack? Ideologically the right wing in this country isn't too far off of Islam, and for many of the same reasons. You are analogous to the "moderate Muslim" people are wondering about. So...where are you? Why don't you clean house? Why do you notice the mote in your brother's eye but not the beam in your own?
I am "that girl" your mother warned you about...
