Isn't it ironic, don't you think, that Kona complains about political threads yet he started one himself?


THIS IS NOT A POLITICAL THREAD.

At least not to my lnowledge. I did not intend it to be.

Leave it to Jesse to start stuff.

seriously I did not mean to start a political thread. I just found the name for the new carrier funny as i am in love with the Navy ships we Americans have. I just love carriers thats all.

After all my Dad was on one.

What the hell does Goober getting a Aircraft Carrier named after him have to do with Bill Clinton and what he did to fend off terrorism?

Iplural I think they are naming it after the first Bush, Bush SR.

A thread about naming an aircraft carrier after a president is political especially if the title suggests you do not like the person whom the aircraft carrier is being named after.

I could give a damn what they name the thing. I just found it funny. I have nothing against Bush SR.

yrag, yeah it's daddy, and he did do loads about terrorism for sure. Saddam's chem and bio weapons, he looked the other way after Saddam used them also...

Boy they should name a whole Carrier Group after him....

oh yeah, he also sold the freaking things to him...

You are not a political figure so that would not make it a political thread.

Still Tech Cat, this is not a political thread so please for the love of God keep your political views out of it?

Thanks man. No need to argue over a name for a huge ship.

ok, I'll stop ....

actually taking it in the political direction hijacks the thread...

considering it is about naming a ship which is at one point not exclusive to the Military Hero's of history, it also is not politically based either just because a Presidents name got slapped on the bow.

Look kona, don't single me out. I'm not the only one that has made political statements in this thread. Look at post #1 and #2. Both are political and were made before I added my two cents.

If I started a thread discussing Ronald Reagon as a movie star, there would be liberals jumping in to bash Reagon as a President.

Tech, I did not take #1 or #2 as political. More like jokes.

Why don't you go read #3 and #9 again?

Anyways, I just find it funny what they name these things. After all, how much of America dislikes Bush SR? (no political BS meant by that)

Bush bashing and Reagon bashing is political.


Only in your mind kid. Most of us just think it is funny.
