If anyone can prove a Democrat has ever proposed such a moronic idea, please let me know.

Just a reminder to lurkers that YES, we are more intelligent, by far.

3. Six states have active Naval Militias. Eight others have the laws but are presently inactive.

looking at the wide range of states, I suspect that there are some democrats involved.

Active

New York Naval Militia[4]
Ohio Naval Militia[5]
South Carolina Naval Militia[6]
Texas Maritime Regiment[7]
Virginia Riverine Detachment[8]
Alaska Naval Militia[9]

Authorized by statute but inactive

California[10]
The California Naval Militia was reactivated in 1976 by the Governor of California. Unlike New York and the few other states with ship-borne active naval militia units, the California Naval Militia is a small unit of military lawyers and strategists who provide advice and legal expertise in the field of military and naval matters for the benefit of California's state defense force.
Connecticut[11]
Georgia[12]
Hawaii[13]
Illinois Naval Militia[14]
Maryland[citation needed]
New Jersey[15]
North Carolina [16]

6. the carrier was my main focus....

I have a problem with that. I have a feeling we will have to agree to disagree on this issue.

4. Um, isn't WY land-locked? Where are they going to berth a carrier?

Just another set of legislators who prove they should be put out of office.

5. They need it to fight off an attack by the Manitoban submarine fleet.
