OK, we’ll change the missile name to “Democrats Are Idiots.” Satisfied?

“Liberal Mag Editor: Tomahawk Missiles ‘Must Enrage A Lot Of Native Americans’”

Yeah, I bet they wish they’d had some, way back when.

Liberals should be called a new sickness by definition. It is now a disease.

Instead of naming a navy ship for Harvey Milk or Jimmy Carter it is high time we honor Native American warriors. Why not a USS Crazy Horse or USS Sitting Bull?

________

USS Crazy Horse is part of the Star Trek universe.

But we did have subs named Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson.

Well liberals certainly do think it must enrage indians.

They think this because they never actually hang around with actual indians. Not in the circles they travel in.

And I am not talking the 1/16 or 1/32 white liberal socialists that claim to be “indian”.

I would think if we named the missiles the “Indian Killer” missiles, one might be able to assume the indians wouldn’t like that name.

Why would it? It’s a compliment, a badge of honor to have a highly sophisticated, extremely effective modern weapon named after an historic weapon of your culture.

Do the Scots whine about Claymore mines?

Indigenous Americans in North America had no molten metal technology prior to European contact.

The metal blade tomahawk was unknown to them before the early 1600s. The European settlers developed the frontiersman's tomahawk from the naval boarding axe.

The "traditional" Indian tomahawk head was made of flaked flint and bound to the handle with rawhide strips. The pipe tomahawk was unknown to them; it made for them by Europeans as a trade item.

I guess this is another stupid case of the “cultural appropriation” angle, but the tomahawk is/was an instrument of war, yes? The missile is an instrument of war, yes? Why would anyone with two brain cells to rub together be “offended” by this?

Stupid.

These Leftists in their incestuous little hot house world just never grasp that the bulk of the population finds their ideological nonsense pathetic and ridiculous.

French fries must offend French-Americans. Denver omelettes must offend Coloradans, and black coffee is a microagression.

It's old military tradition to name something after a respected foe. That's why the US Navy had a carrier named USS Bon Homme Richard. The American Indians surveyed on this subject overwhelmingly like having weapons systems and sports teams named after them. This is entirely a non-issue invented by clueless fascist lefties.

I like that.

“Pres. Trump has just announced that he has launched 59 Democrats Are Idiots at a Syrian airbase in response to last week’s Liberals Are Twitching Morons gas attack on civilians.”

There have been 3 naval vessels named Bon Homme Richard (Good Man Richard).
They were named after Benjamin Franklin, author of Poor Richard’s Almanac.

How about the George Armstrong Custer CRUISE missile?

Or the ALAMO cruise missile.
