Major work begins on Murtha ship

Johnstown Tribune-Democrat ^ | 6-16-2012 | staff report

I hear the Navy will only require a few things of those who serve on-board this ship. They must:

1) Be openly gay
2) Be openly communist, Muslim, atheist, Democrat or some other proven variation of anti-American
3) Have accepted bribes
4) Have complete and utter disdain for their familial roots (as in, “these folks are all rednecks and racists.”
5) Kneel before Zod

(okay, I made up #5, but it kind of fits with the others, if you get the reference)

The good news is the only people that bothered to show up for this ceremony were shipyard workers who were already there anyway!

Plus, it happened on June 6th and it took the Johnstown Tribune-Democrat ten days to figure it out and report it! LOL!!!!

I don’t know if it’s the Navy determining the name, I thought it was congress that makes the decision...

All the other ships in the class are named for American cities. According to what I read, Mabus sent a memo down which designated this ship name. So absent any contradictory information, Ray owns this stinker of a decision.

That's GREAT news! They had a ceremony for a corrupt Congressman and nobody came, just what Murtha deserved.

I think a garbage scow would be a more appropriate ship named after him.

Secretary of the Navy names new ships. Congressmen do ask favors in naming though.

“It’s a beautiful day to honor one of America’s patriots, dirtiest and most corrupt effin crooks in the Congress” Navy Secretary Ray Mabus said at the time.

There we go, a little edit in the interest of accuracy.

[Secret Agent Man]

No, the crew will be made up of all lying bastards in murtha’s honor.

You’re right, Mabus owns this.

Apparently in an attempt to outdo himself, Mabus has also named a Navy cargo ship after Cesar Chavez...

“Cesar Chavez, the Marxist community organizer and farm union leader, who hated the U.S. Navy and capitalism, has been honored with a Lewis and Clark class Naval vessel named the Cesar Chavez.”

Just shaking my head in disgust.

Flame me if you want but I would not serve in today’s military.

[Gene Eric]

What a #ing way to curse a ship.

Extra prayers for the obliged crew.

The once proud United States being led straight to hell by it’s leadership and it’s armed forces no less.

Gay Days at the Pentagon.

We may well be beyond the point of no return.

I agree with you. I was also looking at another thread where a same sex marriage took place at Fort Polk in Louisiana in contradiction to GOD's Law and the state of Louisiana.

There is no way in clear conscience I could encourage anyone to join either. One of my grandsons is automatic 4-F due to deafness the other I hope never has to serve under the destructive policies & trends that has prevailed since Reagan left the building in 1989. The sad and disgusting part is the GOP doesn't have a spine to stop any of this. The Bush family pandered to the gay vote as did Clinton and as does Obama.

Our elected leaders and many of our religious leaders {which are wolves among sheep seeking too destroy} as well ignore the very serious danger our nation is in. Our moral collapse as a nation has but two possible outcomes of which is either One Nation Under GOD or One Nation Under Judgment?

Who knew the US Navy had a fleet of junks?

I certainly agree...
