Do we Monday off work because they are commissioning the SS Ronald Reagan

[kentuck]

today? Is this a national holiday? Absolutely too much play on this BS story. Until Bush* came along, the most destructive president in my lifetime. Understanding that Reagan stories always make Repubs giddy and wrm all over, one must think it is somehow connected to the negative stories about the lies in the SOTU speech. A neat and reassuring reminder to all loyal Repubs? But, personally, I don't give a shit about the SS Ronnie Reagan.

1. As a former member of the world's greatest Navy

It breaks my heart that we are naming a carrier after that person. The Navy's core values are honor, courage and commitment. Three values republicans and christian conservatives know nothing about. It is sad that people like grover norquist would spend so much energy directing attention away from the man's actions. The effort to name a carrier after him should have went into exposing the american public to the truth about iran/contra.

The ship may never know where it is!

3. I hope this ship is for movie props only

To honor the service record of the person for which it is named.
