GROTON, Conn., June 18, 2008 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ ----General Dynamics Electric Boat will christen New Hampshire (SSN-778), the U.S. Navy's newest and most advanced nuclear attack submarine, at a ceremony at its shipyard here on Saturday, June 21, at 11 a.m.
Cheryl McGuinness of Portsmouth, N.H., is the ship's sponsor. Mrs. McGuinness lost her husband, Tom McGuinness, on September 11, 2001, in the World Trade Center attacks. He was the co-pilot of American Airlines Flight 11, which was flown into the north tower of the World Trade Center.

Oh, really now.......
I think you merely need to do a little bit of searching just here on FR to see otherwise....
Fascinating . . . appears to be a lot of consistency in the posting . . .
1. I was NOT the recently retired senior NAVAL OFFICER FREEPER
who asserted that 30% or more of the officer corps in his estimation were globalists.
2. THAT FREEPER was/is well respected and certainly did our Republic a great deal of honorable service in the Navy. I respect his assertions whether anyone else can wrap their rigid biases around his experienced perspective, or not.
3. I gather you have not read the quotes from 1900 on by our political and other leaders about globalism found at post #76 on the following thread. Or, if you have read them, their import did not register very sufficiently to make much useful sense, to you.

I see that you didn’t appear to learn anything about insulting fellow FREEPERS from your time out—which—BTW, had nothing at all to do with me. In spite of your persistently harshly obnoxious postings to me, I find you an interesting person and even enjoy some of your view points on occasion.
I wouldn’t, however, encourage anyone to push their limits with the mods.
In terms of the NWO folks getting info to sub captains . . . given all the givens, I can’t imagine that would be remotely difficult for them.
Odd that anyone would think otherwise.
Welllllllll, I’ll tell you, I pray for such patriots in such situations already.
May God guide each patriot to do the Godly and right thing.
Methinks there’s a lot on the near horizon that warrants a ton of even preliminary prayer.
When things start falling down around our ears . . . some things will be to late for much extensive prayer, then.
As a former employee of Electric Boat and a Republican, I can tell you that there are plenty of Republicans working there. Just because CT is a "blue state" don't assume everyone in the state is a liberal Democrat. In fact there are very conservative parts of CT, but unfortunately they are overshadowed by the urban liberal areas.
I’m from CT - now in Japan .
” A hell of a lot more bang for the buck than a wall. “
The immediate threat to our sovereignty comes from south of the border . You voting McCain ?
If the only other choice was to return to Willimantic, I'd stay in Japan, too.
I spent a miserable two years (1990-1992) living in Vernon-Rockville and had to travel to oversee a store in Willimantic.
For the first time since 1984, I may not vote at all.
I feel that we are still responsible before God to exercise the vote we have in as sane and Christian a way as possible.
Even if that’s merely toward keeping the worst of the globalists on tap from the Oval Office.
Part of me thinks they have deliberately set up the worst DIMRATS repeatedly now . . . which sort of gives the Republicans an edge . . .
Only a Nixon could have opened China and gotten away with it.
Only Reagan could have overtly orchestrated their desired and phony, temporary ‘neutralizing’ of Russia . . .
Republicans have been in charge of their punishing of Saddam Hussein both times . . . and evidently of punishing Iran for not kowtowing the the globalists demands to play their game by their rules.
Not sure what it means. Just curious.
Against commerce? It certainly is one of the missions of submarines, and the Chinese are sending a lot of stuff to a lot of places.
Just sayin...if it should ever come to that.
There’s been a prediction that Japan will join China in attacking the USA . . . and be given Hawaii as a reward.
How likely do you consider such a shocking development?
-50% chance . . . 0% chance, 50% chance What?
” If the only other choice was to return to Willimantic, I’d stay in Japan, too. “
Believe it or not , it was a nice place to grow up in once upon a time ...
There’s a 50/50 chance that anything can happen or not happen .
Do I trust the Japanese GOVERNMENT ? A wise old hermaphrodite once told me : “ Never trust a Japanese . “
I had a Japanese Hawaiian roommate in college.
Taiwan still has some Japanese flavor here and there.
Probably the culture would be overly regimented in too many ways for me. I don’t know.
I always enjoyed watching the Japanese at the Grand Canyon when I worked there. So typical they were as they always are in every tourist spot . . . always in a group . . . such a riot.
I believe it. I grew up in a suburb of Boston in the early '70s. It was nirvana. Nothing like today.
” Probably the culture would be overly regimented in too many ways for me. I don’t know. “
I’ve been here 22 years . Love/hate relationship ...same as it would be at home in Amnesia ...Obviously , each culture has its +/- points ...Who is to say which has more or fewer + ? If the Japanese would embrace Christianity on a helluva lot larger scale all would be much , much better all the way around ...

Sadly , Willimantic was already into decline in the early 70’s . Lousy , inept RAT politicos with no visions other than $ in their fat wallets and power . They called it “ redevelopment “ , but it ripped the heart & soul out of the town . After the main employer , American Thread Co., moved south , Main Street died and the DRUG problem became widespread . Then HARTFORD , in its wisdom , began trucking in the welfare class . Ahhhh...sad ...
