Commissioning of USS Ronald Reagan Support Apolyton buy from Amazon

Wooohooo! The newest and best nuclear aircraft carrier is here, the USS Ronald Reagan! What an amazing ship!

I wish it many years of successful kicking ass around the world in defense of freedom!

Great... how many more ships are we going to name after bad presidents?

And with my luck, next year they'll commission a new attack submarine... the USS Clinton... long, round, and full of seamen...

Don't you think it's ironic that the US has named an airport and now an aircraft carrier after the man who tried to break up all the air-traffic-controller unions?

I remember what this country was like before his presidency, and I know what it was like after he left office. He healed this country, allowed us to feel good about ourselves and our capabilities once again.

He was a Great President.

I actually don't know too much about Reagan, apart from the fact that he was around at the same time as Thatcher and was about as sadistic?

How was he a bad president? Hint: Just because you don't like them doesn't make them a bad President.

Hey! Reagan was one of our greatest Presidents. It is entirely fitting to name such a beautiful ship after him.

Sava, too much dope?

I trust then you've never heard of the 'Reagan Democrats'? These were Democrat union members, working class folk that voted for Reagan. Plenty of union members went for Reagan. And, of course, the Teamsters loved him.

Aircraft carriers aren't for defense. The're for Imperialism.
