George H.W. Bush was a decorated Naval Aviator in World War II, did some pretty heroic things actually.Reagan brought the economy back and implemented a foreign policy that lead to the end of the Soviet Union basically.Please tell me why a union boss with sketchy methods deserves a ship named after him?Really no argument against Reagan or Bush having carriers named after them, but Chavez was scum.No, this is not a right or left thing, it's a whats right or wrong.Now, if Chavez had accomplished something in the military etc I would possibly be okay with it, but he badmouthed his time in service, saying his two years in the US Navy were the "worst of his life".
This is nothing more than a moronic Obama appointee playing politics at the direction of Master Barry.Shame on them, really.Instead of naming a ship after a union thug, how about some of those who have given their lives or limbs in Iraq and Afghanistan.A guy from my my hometown, well just outside my hometown was KIA in Iraq in 2005, actually, he was the 2,000th US service member killed in Iraq, let's name it after him or some of the other lesser known patriots, not a union thug with communist leanings who pretended to advocate non violence.Just another sign of how disgusting this admin is, November can not come fast enough.

I do not think it will lessen the crew in any way. I am sure they will all be outstanding sailors.
I love me some partisanship sometimes, and have alot of fun with it, but this reeks of idealogical hate. Lets call our next one the USS Hitler, because he took over alot of countries. Or the USS Bernanke, because he runs our country.I am sure someone sees them as heroes. Would you cheer if a ship by the name of the USS Obama got sunk? Just wondering. You have an irrational hate towards the other side, as if the other side has nothing to offer, or should be minimized. EDIT: (St. Reagan gets too much credit for sinking the soviets, but zero blame in our current economical failure, but that is irrelivant ATM. Trickle down lulz!) They can name it after you for all I care. As long as it works right. USS Bubblehead... Nice ring! ;P

And they were illegal immigrants, too!

A little German example, we have this integration/immigration debate going on for decades ... In the last couple of months, one man got invited very often, to talk shows, but also to official political conferences: Serdar Somuncu. A comedian, turkish born, raised in Germany, very well spoken, better German than most politicians. Humor is hard to translate, but I would call him a mixture of David Chappelle, Louis C.K. and Sarah Silverman. He often gets asked about immigration and about the muslim community, he always says: "Why do people ask me this and why the heck do they make the connotation: immigrant=Turk=muslim?" He says he was "dropped somewhere between Ankara and Düsseldorf", so no immigration story here and as an outspoken atheist he finds it rather offensive to be taken as a representative for a religion with which he has less to do than members of our Christian parties. However in the moments when he joins the media game, fakes to speak for muslims and immigrants, people regard him somehow as an authority for all immigrant questions. He usually starts with saying some trivial things, followed by more and more insane arguments and demands, funny to see how long it sometimes takes till the people notice it - if at all... Nothing seems insane enough if you are a self-proclaimed spokesperson. The media wants faces to connect: want to speak about Alaska? Ask Mrs Palin, same way Sharpton speaks for every dark-skinned American, or Cheney for every hunter. Much less work than actually speak to a cross-section of the people for whom they claim to speak... -------- Quote:
And you wonder that people attack your writing style and bash you? I have refrained to do so yet, I wonder why... The reason I am not replying on the same level is that there are people from the more conservative side, even on here, whose opinions I can respect, sometimes even agree on (in my seldom cases of mind-gigantism), because they can articulate their views, put them into words and may even put some things into a different perspective. So fighting for one's own believes, against oppression, standing up for the rights of others, helping to improve their lives is unamerican now? And this: "[he] rallied a bunch of farmers and despite what the popular narrative is, he was not above using violence" It sounds that you don't agree with ships that are named after George Washington... |

If you're gonna blame Presidents for the health of the economy then Ronnie left the Oval office with the country in a heckuva lot better shape than it was when he got it from the Peanut Farmer.

This would offend all on Capitol Hill and PA Ave. Sadly, the vessel will probably still have a loan due on it.

Comparing George Washington to Cesar Chavez is ridiculous.George Washington did something worthwhile that was not about self advancement, he was a patriot, Chavez was a union thug, nothing more. |
