Another multi-billion dollar vanity project
The U.S. Navy today christened its newest carrier, the USS George H. W. Bush.
There is no USS Franklin Delano Roosevelt. There is, however, a USS Ronald Reagan. There are no plans to build a USS William Jefferson Clinton. Is there a problem here? And whatever happened to that old conservative custom of not naming things after people who are still at least somewhat alive?
When we retake the majority and the Presidency, an effort should be made to rename all of those things - ships, airports, office buildings, highways - that impudent republicans have named after men (and families) who are demonstrably worthless. The taxpayer shouldn't have to subsidize the vanity of these people, unless it's to the extent of putting mirrors in their jail cells.
