Just another example of Obama politicizing the armed forces. National defense is the last thing on his mind.
submariners used to call SSN 685 "lipscomb fish"...glenard p. lipscomb had nothing to do with the navy and did nothing but die as a congressman the year the ship was being named.
uss jimmy carter? the ex-secretary club (forrestal, john warner, thomas s. gates)?
There's something wrong happening when a ship is named after an individual, but not because anything the individual did ... Instead for some political response they are trying to make. This move isn't about honoring the guy, but to legitimize the movement he was part of. IMO, it is an insult to all those other people who have been honored for the sacrifices they have made.
IMO naming a machine of death after a man of peace is an insult to all those other people fighting for human rights, freedom and peace everywhere.
I can already imagine the shit storm that will come from republicans and conservative media.

Oh no! The Gay Agenda is attacking you from all sides!
And yet - Gays are over-represented in all media and politics by a factor of 3-10x. Homosexuality is now considered a virtue. Double-standards and special provisions are being constructed for LGBTs under the name of "equal rights". Anyone that does not agree with the agenda and propaganda is labeled a hate monger. Etc.

Really, though, why not just be honest about your intentions? You're a bigot and you think gay rights activists should be reviled, but you're afraid to actually come out and say that, so instead you're coming up with a thin pretext and pretending that's the real reason you're opposed. But you're not fooling anyone, so why not be honest at least?
