Boomers




Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me.

When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way. This lesson in political reality from Lyndon B. Johnson

"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown

Somebody needs to show this to the weird kid with the bad haircut.

Not certain it'd make any difference. The weird little kid with the bad haircut is operating in his own weird little reality bubble...

(...much like the leftists in this country.)

These 18 weapons are also known as “Trident” subs because they’re a part of America’s “Nuclear Triad”.

Gee, I thought it was because they carried the Trident missile. Who knew that was just a coincidence.

I don't recall ever hearing that before. Pretty cool.

I was laughing about the "threat" of invading canuks, myself, when I read that. Smile

Air dropped confetti, Molotov cocktails made from clamato and beer, hockey games blasted on loudspeakers to annoy the enemy with odd mixtures of French and English.

Scary shit, I tell ya.

Why would we put a nuclear sub(s) in the Great Lakes? Serious question. Not that nuking Chicago is completely off the table.....I mean I could be persuaded with a good argument.....or a mediocre one. Smile

I'd suppose that it would be because they could strike Russia from the Great Lakes, but they'd be nearly impossible to kill. Put them in the lakes and block the outlet with debris, and they'd be nearly unsinkable.

I don't think this is true.

Ugh, a Chive article. Anything from the Chive is suspicious.

The Chive does post lots of nice boobs pics though.

In regards to the subs in the Great Lakes, Google says the USS Kentucky SSBN 737 is stationed in Bangor, Washington.

I always thought it was odd for submariners to wear camo. Especially camo based on land patterns. You'd think the US Navy would spring for a more fitting uniform.


Insert your favorite gun-related witticism here!

I would say they do it just because they can. Blocking in a submarine would be poor choice versus letting it run free. After it's shot its wad of ICBM missiles, then it becomes an attack submarine.



"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946.

I've never heard of boomers stationed in the Great Lakes. I thought we had a treaty with Canada that 'demilitarized' the lakes? When I toured the USS Cod (WWII fleet sub) in Cleveland back in the 80s, I think somebody told me they needed a waiver to take that (old, VERY obsolete, out-of-service museum piece) 'warship' into Lake Erie. . .

The great lakes would be a great place to station them, though. US subs have LOTS of room to hide, and no Soviet weapon system could reach them (like the boomers in the open ocean). They don't have enough nukes to spam the entirety of Lake Superior (and that's just one of the 5 lakes), so they would be practically invulnerable. . .

Aye! Fish scales and seaweed pattern. Or maybe oyster cluster and barnacles.
