Ship named after Gabby Giffords, the congress lady who got shot. They ARE buds. Plus, it's a chance to get the ladies talkin in the store line. OOPS! So sorry. Late edit. Giffords survived the shoot-IN. She is disabled, but alive. Her husband is a retired astronaut, kinda famous round these parts. HRC is still a weasel.
Gabby Giffords?? Who cares--before she was shot she was a liberal idiot; after she was shot, no different. Naming a boat after her? As a sailor I would refuse to sail on it. Must be the only naval boat named after a ***** (they are bad luck according to naval personnel). Unless the boat is a garbage scow.....
I agree, Mr Barry. Was in the Navy 10 years. Two different ships. It sucks that she got shot, but no fvckin way she gets a ship named after her. Ships are supposed to be named after something like, "Allahu THIS!" Sh!t like this happens when you vote for socialists. Stupid people should NOT be allowed to vote, or name our ships.
I never quite understood how getting shot by a random stranger makes u a hero. why don't guys from the hood get ships named after them?i want to see the uss tyrone in action
JFK's presidency wasn't much, probably headed in the wrong direction with Vietnam, the Russkies & more, but who could tell....? His presidency didn't last long enough to be effectively judged by history. Yet, he's a cultural icon as well as a revered figure in American politics (Camelot, et. al.). Yep - - getting cut down in the prime of one's life will definitely get you not only a bigger & more emotional funeral than if you croak at, say, 87 yrs old, but it will also ensconce you in people's memories as 'such a good person' blah blah blah. None of which is true.
Hilarious, in light of facts such as: 1) being directly responsible for Vietnam, 2) being directly responsible for the Bay of Pigs fiasco, 3) being such a philanderer that he makes Billy Clinton and Trump look like choirboys. The liberal press even gives all the credit for the Civil Rights Movement to Kennedy, and zero to LBJ whose administration did 99% of the legwork. Kennedy was in office for a cup of coffee, and was a POS
He was enough of a patriot though to warn us and is why he got killed. His words ring prophetic today. [video=youtube;_fZibEFNrEo]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_fZibEFNrEo[/video]
C'mon, Archeroo...that's not accurate......that's an edited version of the 18 minute speech that JFK gave at the Waldorf Astoria to the American mainstream media (reporters). Kennedy gave this speech just after his monumental fukkk-up wherein Castro kicked his ass back to Miami at the Bay of Pigs fiasco. In this post-Bay of Pigs speech, JFK is clearly asking for the media to assist him in censoring items that might damage the USA's national security. To quote: "But I do ask every publisher, every editor, and every newsman in the nation to reexamine his own standards, and to recognize the nature of our country's peril. In time of war, the government and the press have customarily joined in an effort based largely on self-discipline, to prevent unauthorized disclosures to the enemy. In time of "clear and present danger," the courts have held that even the privileged rights of the First Amendment must yield to the public's need for national security." JFK was merely another hack professional pol, Arch, spawned from huge illegal money via his daddy. JFK utilized the cold war aspects as a looming threat whereby he could abrogate the 1st Amendment for reasons that he deemed necessary. No different from Obama or W or any of the other power mongers.
Wow, thanks Yank. I'll have to absorb that, but definitely something I never saw. And will come to conclusions upon further inspection.
No worries...I'm with ya on most topics these days, and you usually bring forth a ton of thought-provoking stuff. And anything that drives sigfreud around the bend is a-ok wit me
u nutjobs see that ceasar play on broadway where trump is supposed to be Caesar and they assassinate him lmao. people just don't learn,and since they lost their biggest sponsors like bank of America and whoever,they probably wont be coming out with another show these people fail to realize trump is a business guy,and hes good friends and partners with most of the sponsors so u try to play him u lose ur job
