She got shot in the head, miraculously survived and is doing a lot better.
That’s not courageousness. It’s fortitude. Using the word courage implies heroism. She’s not a hero. If she had gotten shot while trying to protect someone else THAT would have been courageous and heroic.

“...calling Giffords someone whose name is synonymous with courage. ...”
“synonymous with courage”???
Really? How so?

What a slap to the military men and women who have given their lives for freedom. It’s unfortunate and sad that this woman was shot. Let’s face it before the shooting she was nothing more than a political hack feasting at the public trough to promote her liberal/socialist ideals.

having received prior death threatsThe ship should be called the USS Armed Services then. Last time I checked Al Retards had a standing death threat out against all uniformed US personnel.

No. At the very least, I wish they didn’t name things after living people. It is bad form.

I honestly thought this was an Onion article and thought: My, they have gone too far.
So a leftist shoots a congressman and the congressman gets a Ship?
Somehow I dont see this as heroic.
Anyone want to work with me to sponsor a bill called: NO PUBLIC WORKS OR BUILDINGS OR SHIPS TO BE NAMED AFER ANYONE WHO HAS NOT BEEN DEAD FOR 50 YEARS????

There are
rules for the naming of American Navy vessels and you should be active in the armed services, either as commander in Chief or in combat. Though not required, it is customary that the person the ship is named for is deceased

In this Brave New World, it does.
I’d rather see the USS Chris Kyle.

Agree about not naming anything at all to those who are alive. As far as Congress critters and politicians go, should only name any ship after a long deceased one who was a major proponent of seapower, the Navy, or Marines.
