US Navy moves ship launching ceremony due to ‘harsh anti-gay laws’ in Mississippi
Canada Free Press ^ | 04/14/16 | Robert Laurie

In the Navy, you can sail the seven seas

The future USS Portland is already in the water, but it has yet to be commissioned. The ceremony to do so was scheduled to be held in Pascagoula, Mississippi at the end of May, but then the state decided to put its hatred, its bigotry, and its antiquated notions about the 1st Amendment on display. Since we’re a hyper-sensitive society that subsists on faux-outrage, we can’t tolerate any of that “religious freedom” nonsense. Super-important dignitaries refused to attend, so the Navy has determined that the christening simply had to be moved.

This is not the Navy’s choice, this is Obama’s choice. He is more than happy to have young men from Mississippi fight and die for our country, but then dismisses their state. He has now down what no other president has ever done, use the military for domestic political purposes. Please, we must win the next election to take control back from these marxists.

WRONG—when did the US Government or the USN have any say so in what the states did. They didn’t object when they had Jim Crow laws. Why now—its about Gay Votes for Hillary.

Bingo. I am so proud of my 22year Navy career, that this is embarrassing. I cannot imagine what the active Sailors think of this administration and SECNAV. First the LCS Gabriele Giffords, and now this... Spit!

This is just BS. The Navy should not be making political decisions.

I LOVE Canada Free Press. It is more conservative than many of our own so-called “conservative” publications.

“Will the EPA be threatening to shut off all oxygen to Mississippi next?”

No, they’ll just contaminate their rivers with toxic metals, like they did here in Colorado.

Hey! Where’s the village people video? There’s usually a village people video on posts like this.

They must be punished. They must be punished. They must be punished.

The launch date of the USS Raging Queen has been pushed back. Capt. John Belluschi was greatly disappointed.

I find this controversy over men dressed as women wanting to pee and poop with girls amazing. Have we digressed that far? Is there now a Majority of sexual deviants in this country?

God Help us

Yep, I’m afraid we HAVE digressed that far. This has become a nation that celebrates and champions perversion and depravity. No longer a nation, but a freak-show.

What these things tell me more than anything, is that America truly is ready for the ash-heap.

Does anyone remember the ribald inter-service joke that ends with -

Boy says to the Marine -’’Oh no sir. This is not my hat. I’m not a REAL sailor.’’

I monitor water levels and meteorological data all around the country for quality control purposes. I guess I will be forbidden from monitoring water levels in Pascagoula and Wilmington (ND) eventually. Maybe the Feds will shut those stations down, so shippers will have to dock in Mobile Bay and Charleston instead.

Sheesh.

DANG!

So who is the SecNav, and what is his — um — history?

Obviously the navy and government wimps wouldn’t know which bathroom to use. They didn’t want to get in trouble with real men.
