Freepers send off Neil Armstrong

As an apolitical emblem of American exceptionalism, Freepers are all big big fans.

Their nostalgia has curdled a bit, though.

mowowie knows America is over:

Well, it truly is the end of American exceptionalism.

RIP Mr. Armstrong

Maybe i’ll see some Chinese guy land on Mars before i die.

tcrlaf just hopes Obama doesn't get any good press out of this:

Cue the state funeral, with Obama ‘Epic!’ speech, in the middle of the Republican Convention, to steal the RNC’s thunder. Damn, I wish this wasn’t so predictable.

I know he was a private guy who shunned the spotlight, but what is that, compared to THE GLORY OF THE MESSIAH OBAMA?

He honestly deserves all the accolades he will receive. But, I hope the family decides to keep it low key.

Reily also thinks the moon landing was the tops:

I look back to July 21 1969 and sometimes think I saw the apex of the USA. Terrible to contemplate that perhaps at the age of 14 I saw my nation at its zenith and we have been slowly slipping downhill since.

Yet Reily also can't help but equates the moon landing with Ted Kennedy's Chappaquiddick:

On July 21 1969 a MAN was on the moon .......and a pig was in a lake in Massachusetts!

Shame on Massachusetts for continuing to send that miscreant anywhere but to jail!

Gay State Conservative knows Obama hates Armstrong, and will only use him to piss off Freepers:

If Osama acknowledges Armstrong's passing at all it will be to equate his courageous decision to grant amnesty to millions of wetbacks to Armstrong's lifelong devotion to the service of his country.
