calfoxwc Posted July 29, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2016 do you see ONE ship name that is extremely political in nature, especially at the time it was named? Named after a gay activist? seriously? by Obamao, the great gay lover bigoted president? How many other presidents, or great military leaders don't have a ship named after them yet? think about it. An American infantryman jumps on a grenade to save all his buddies, and obamao names a Navy ship after a gay activist? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldBrownsFan Posted July 29, 2016 Report Share Posted July 29, 2016 First he gets a postage stamp named after him and now a US naval ship...pathetic Sexual predator honored with U.S. postage stamp Exclusive: Matt Barber riles lefty media by declaring late Harvey Milk an 'evil man' What would you call a 33-year-old man who both had and axiomatically acted upon a deviant sexual appetite for underage, drug-addicted, runaway boys? (No, not Jerry Sandusky.) What would you call a man of whom, as regards sexual preference, his own friend and biographer confessed, “Harvey always had a penchant for young waifs with substance abuse problems”? In a recent interview with OneNewsNow.com, I called this man “demonstrably, categorically an evil man based on his [statutory] rape of teenage boys.” But you can call him Harvey Milk. Harvey Milk’s only claim to fame is that he was the first openly homosexual candidate to be elected to public office (San Francisco city commissioner). His chief cause was to do away with the Judeo-Christian sexual ethic. In 1978 Milk was murdered over a non-related political dispute by fellow Democrat Dan White. And a “progressive” martyr was born.

Stuart How about a mockery of the tradition or practice of naming ships after war heroes or great statesmen? Does that help you understand what Cal was getting at? That said, its a refueling ship.

calfoxwc Posted July 29, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2016 so, woody's posts prove my point. Most navy ships are named after famous, well known cities, politicians/presidents, etc. USNS Medgar Evers—Critics accused the President Barack Obama’s administration of ignoring Navy tradition and blatantly politicizing ship names by honoring slain civil rights leader Medgar Evers with a dry cargo vessel. Although the critics said that political activists had never before been given namesake ships, there had been several, including a destroyer tender named for labor leader Samuel Gompers and a cargo ship named for Amelia Earhart to recognize her role as a pioneering aviator and advocate for women’s rights. 100423-N-5025C-001 USS John P. Murtha—The 2010 decision to name an amphibious transport vessel for the late Pennsylvania congressmen and former Marine was met with immediate condemnation from critics who maintained that Murtha was unworthy since he had accused a group of Marines of murdering Iraqi civilians “in cold blood” without knowing the facts. 110512-N-DX698-001 USNS Cesar Chavez—Cesar Chavez was a dedicated champion of civil rights who strove to improve labor conditions, but many observers thought the 2011 decision to name a Lewis and Clark-class cargo ship after him was misguided. In addition to describing his service in the Navy as “the two worst years of my life,” Chavez believed strongly in nonviolence and probably would not have wanted his name on a warship. 120210-N-ZZ999-001 USS Gabrielle Giffords—While noting that Congresswoman Giffords recovery from injuries suffered during a 2011 shooting was admirable, critics believed she had done little in support of the Navy during her short tenure to merit the namesake Independence-class littoral combat ship announced in 2012. It was argued that it would have been more suitable to name the vessel for any of the thousands of Marines and sailors who died defending the country. ******************************* the bar got lowered to partisan political jabs at the more respected manner of naming ships went south...and it was Obamao that did em. do you get the point libs? or not?

Tour2ma Posted July 29, 2016 Report Share Posted July 29, 2016 Have to wonder... what the odds are that this is the first US vessel named after a gay man?
