IB please let me smack exNYer around on this one...for some reason he thinks after five years dead folks become apolitical.

Only someone with half a brain would think this was a good idea.

[WTF]

Only someone with shit for brains would be presumptuous enough to think he was the
arbitrator of good ideas

C'mon, it's a great idea! The USS Halliburton. PT Boat Home Depot. Swift Boat Heinz. Aircraft Carrier Boeing.

This is great!

Would the sale of naming rights be subject to the Fair Tax?

If someone shoots you in the back of the head and the bullet exits over your eye you most likely will not live. I've never seen anyone live from a close range gun shot wound to the head. If by a remote chance you do live your family will be spoon feeding you for the remainder of your natural life.

LOL! That's funny! Yes, I believe they would be.

Hardly. "The ship's sponsor will be Roxanna Green, the mother of Christina-Taylor Green, age 9, who was killed in the Tucson shooting that wounded Giffords in January 2011."

You conservatives have a double standard for everything, don't you? Patriotism, courage, service, honor, duty - Dems, Liberals and Progressives don't qualify for any of it, no matter what, but the most craven cowardly, lying, sniveling conservative (Bundy and his "patriots" militia men who were going to hide behind the women and children) is all that and a bag of chips to you without examination or reservation apparently. Pathetic, simply pathetic.

You know you wanted the ship named the U.S.S. Cliven Bundy, didn't you?

She was shot while performing the duties of her job which was serving the public. Exactly like a cop who gets injured or killed in the line of duty (plenty of police get injured or killed without ever getting the chance to pull their weapon or do anything heroic other than perform their duties). In fact it is also just like a soldier who gets injured or killed in the line of duty in or out of a combat zone. It takes no courage to be a soldier who goes to a combat zone - they get ordered there. There are plenty of safe non-stressful jobs in "combat zones" that take no courage and the odds of getting killed are less than driving a car (say supply Sargent or aircraft mechanic or latrine cleaner) yet you would probably classify that latrine cleaner a "hero" as long as he voted Tea Party even thought he was blown up by methane from improper cleaning of the latrine LOL.

"Mabus said courage has defined the Navy since it's inception, so it made sense to name the ship after someone "who has become synonymous with courage.

Giffords, a Democrat, resigned from Congress last month to focus on her recovery from a gunshot wound to the head after a gunman opened fire in January 2011 with a semiautomatic pistol on a crowd gathered outside a Tucson supermarket for a Congress-on-your-Corner event."

If someone shoots you in the head there would be no damage at all, as there is nothing there to damage.

LordBieberDick, you know your asinine claim proves you're a lying, lib-retarded jackass, but you knew that, didn't you?

We have Nimitz Class Supercarriers named from Washington, Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt, Truman, Eisenhower, Kennedy, and GHW Bush.

Will we ever see a CVN Clinton or Carter?

The U.S.S. Jimmy Carter has already been commissioned.

Carter was a '47 grad from the Naval Academy. His military credentials are way better than Reagans. I would argue that his presidentials' are too!

Reagan taught this country to cut taxes and increase government spending. Now we have a nation of freeloaders that want a bunch of government shit that do not want to pay for it. The only thing I would name after Reagan is our US Treasury's printing press.

Yes, the *nuclear engineer* who wasn't a *nuclear engineer*. Do you suppose that there is any significance to the Jimmy Carter being a navy ship that sinks?

Reagan wasn't in the Navy and acted like he was pilot in the war in training videos.

He wasn't even very good at that , he shot at our own P-40.
