Well, not for the first time in my adult life, I'm really ashamed. How disgraceful. What's next? The uss mark kelly-giffords (former ass-tronaught) frigate? Purty dang disgusting. As a Navy brat and vet with a daughter that's also a Navy vet, I'm nearly at a loss for words. But you know better.

How come the judge who was actually killed that day is never remembered/honored?

Some say he was the intended target — or that it doesn’t fit the Democrat dominated media’s anti-american agenda to remember him.

How lovely.

Now, what about the people that were there that actually died?

This is disgusting.

Perhaps after Cruz is in office, it’ll be renamed. Geeze...zer0 would have an American ship named the Karl Marx.
