No, dictatorships start when the government takes over the free press and the irony is that our free press surrendered before the government before this one even asked them. They spread their legs and said do me. That’s a concept any RINO should understand quite easily.

Dear battery,

re: “McStain nearly sank the Forrestal with his “Hot Start”.”

It is really AMAZING, that for, ahem, no apparent reason, the video history of that event has found itself in the ‘latest’ round of ‘recommended viewings’ on YouTube, and can be downloaded!

He has yet to be brought to justice for the deaths of Navy personnel, by his stupidity.

No hot start involved. The cause was something long the lines of a static discharge.

The Forrestal fire began when a rocket misfired due to an electronic malfunction. It flew across the deck hitting a fuel tank on the plane parked next to McCain’s and the conflagration erupted.

It’s one of the rare instances were disaster occurred and McCain wasn’t at fault. No need to try to blame the old fool for this one when there’s plenty of valid reasons to want him out of office.
