Dianne Feinstein’s heart left San Francisco
I don’t even BELIEVE this shi’ite. When Senator Dianne Feinstein calls the San Franciscostan city supervisors “petty,” you know it’s some farked up bullshi’ite:
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - The USS Iowa joined in battles from World War II to Korea to the Persian Gulf. It carried President Franklin Roosevelt home from the Teheran conference of allied leaders, and four decades later, suffered one of the nation’s most deadly military accidents.
Veterans groups and history buffs had hoped that tourists in San Francisco could walk the same teak decks where sailors dodged Japanese machine-gun fire and fired 16-inch guns that helped win battles across the South Pacific.
Instead, it appears that the retired battleship is headed about 80 miles inland, to Stockton, a gritty agricultural port town on the San Joaquin River and home of California’s annual asparagus festival.
Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., a former San Francisco mayor, helped secure $3 million to tow the Iowa from Rhode Island to the Bay Area in 2001 in hopes of making touristy Fisherman’s Wharf its new home.
But city supervisors voted 8-3 last month to oppose taking in the ship, citing local opposition to the Iraq war and the military’s stance on gays, among other things.
“If I was going to commit any kind of money in recognition of war, then it should be toward peace, given what our war is in Iraq right now,” Supervisor Ross Mirkarimi said.
Feinstein called it a “very petty decision.”
“This isn’t the San Francisco that I’ve known and loved and grew up in and was born in,” Feinstein said.
Can we please just allow San Franciscostan to go ahead and secede from the Union now?
F–k it, I’m so farking disgusted I don’t even want to give them the opportunity. Kick ‘em out. I can’t even write up anything besides verbal vomit right now.
BOYCOTT THE WHOLE FARKING CITY. I’d rather buy French shi’ite than anything from San Franciscostan any more, and I’ll be damned if I ever travel there, either. Maybe if Real Americans moved there and took the place over, but until then, FARK ‘EM.
Of course, what else can you expect from a shi’itehole that produces terrorists like this:
I sent that Mirkarimi bastard a letter:
You, Mr. Mirkarimi, are a DISGRACE to America, and so are your Komrades. How DARE you dishonor those who sacrificed for you to have the RIGHT to hate America as you do. And let’s not kid ourselves, buddy; don’t pretend that you love America–you only love the Utopian States of America that exists in your imagination. Anything short of that is shameful to you, isn’t it? It’s an absolute crime that America-haters actually hold positions in government in this country–it’s only due to our greatness and our freedom that scum like you are allowed to.
You represent everything that is WRONG in my country. My sole consolation is simply that it must be hellish to be such a self-loathing, miserable bastard as you are. You can be sure that although MY money might not be much to you, it won’t be going to San Franciscostan or anything that comes from there.
Thanks to B.C., Imperial Torturer for the torture link.
Update: The USS Iowa Veterans’ Association asks for your help:
IF YOU WANT OUR BATTLESHIP IOWA IN SAN FRANCISCO, NOT STOCKTON, PLEASE PARTICIPATE IN WRITING LETTERS TO THE HOUSE ARMED SERVICE MEMBERS AND YOUR STATE SENATORS AND REPRESENTATIVES.
I can’t imagine why they’d want the ship in a place that doesn’t honor its history as it should be, but if that’s what they want…I’m for it. (Personally, I’d like to see it in Pascagoula, Mississippi, where it was recommissioned when I was in high school, but that’s just me.)
It’s a disgrace and a pathetic display of idiocy when a bunch of local government morons can shi’ite all over an American battleship and its crew’s rich history because of their selfish, pinheaded, and yes, petty, little protests against the war in Iraq President Bush (that’s what it’s really about, isn’t it?).
Mad Dog Vinnie says:
I’m shocked that San Francisco refused the IOWA.
IOWA stands for Idiots Out Wandering Around.
(anyone witnessing actual Iowa drivers will understand this, as will any conservatives living in San Francisco)

What the Hell is that? Why, that would be me. No, you can’t see me, I was underneath the flight deck of the frigate on the lower right hand side of the picture as the helicopter flew over taking
Jo says:
I realize there are probably a small portion of people in that state that are okay — but they can move now, then we can just break it off at the border and send it floating out toward Hawaii. CA is usless to me in my book. Hubby says San Diego is nice, but oh well - I never want to go there EVER.

Whenever I go to San Fran it is like there is a dark cloud over my head like the whole place is demo possessed. It is the weirdest feeling I have ever had.
I know it is weird to say this, but it is true. So does that explain why such weird stuff goes on there?
bLAh says:
So where’d my response go? You know, nothing says ‘ignorant asshat’ better than censoring opinions that are different from your own. I hope that you’re proud of yourself, mrs. Goebels.
Beth says:
Dumbass “bLAh”:
Nothing says “ignorant c**t” like some asshat shrieking “censorship” on private property, and managing to violate Godwin’s Law at the same time. Furthermore, I don’t DELETE (that’s the word, fucktard, not “censor”) comments that display utter bleatasticfucktardism as yours PROBABLY did; they’re quite mock-worthy and provide entertainment for all of us around here.
Your ignorant asshatted troll droppings PROBABLY got tossed along with the run of spam I got hit with the other day. It HAPPENS, you know. My regular readers will confirm that it’s happened to them too.
Fucking chickentroll. (fake name, email) Get your own blog if you want to see things you wrote on a computer screen. Obviously no one thought your comment worthy of any attention here, because I see nothing referring to you in this thread besides this whiny bitch “you censored me” comment.
Based on your Goebbels-invoking, censorship-claiming comment, I can only imagine the brilliant commentary you did provide. Pity I didn’t have more time to read it.
Stupid c**t.
Turing word: SAND. As in, go pound sand.

Forgot to enter the turing word, lost my first shot at this comment. Let’s try again:
SF doesn’t deserve to have the Iowa. They should have to pay $3 mil to send it to NY or Chicago (it could be done). Chicago’s Museum of Science and Industry has a great display on the WWII anti-sub efforts to break Germany’s death grip on the seas. They even have the first German sub captured, which paved the way to ending their control of the waterways. The Iowa would be a great addition.
turing word: moon, as in “barking at the…”
James says:
But Beth, what do you REALLY think about San Francisco?
Seriously, you are right on and thsi is one more example of why most of the Left Coast would be better off shoved into the ocean.

sf is supposed to be all for tolerance and diversity…try wearing a shirt with president bush’s picture on it down market street, unless his faced is smeared or emblazzened with a swastika, you’ll most likely be confronted and given dirty looks. maybe you’ll be lucky enough to be called a fascist, racist, war monger.
i’m a former resident of sf, i intend to expose all of sf’s dirty skeletons on my blog.

For the lady who wants to set the state of Cal adrift. Please leave San diego, i’ts the last bastion of conservitisum left in the state. Please don’t set us adrift with the leftist scum :cry:
Howard in Norcal says:
I live in Isleton(on the outskirts where the Mokelumne and San Joaquin rivers meet. It would be really great to go out on the levee and take pictures of it going to Stockton. I will never go to San Fagcity again. At least up here, we are a little more on the red side of the blue state.

As a former San Franciscan, I can attest to the surprising truth — DiFi has always been far ahead of the hard Bay Area Left on the business/tourism advantages of saying Yes to the U.S. Navy.
And, year after year, whether as Mayor or Senator, she has been shot down by the mental and moral midgets on San Francisco’s Bored of Stupidvisors…
