Last July, San Francisco’s county supervisors voted 8-3 against bringing the vintage World War II battleship Iowa to San Francisco as a permanent tourist attraction. Some opponents said they were taking a stand against both the war in Iraq and a military that boots out gays and lesbians, a powerful faction in local politics.

i think it's time for the Iowa to fire a couple of salvos into San Fransico, and "adjust some attitudes". Just visualise what those eight remaining 16" guns would do to city hall. Yes, they could easily reach it.

The military ought to move that fine old ship somewhere else where it would be appreciated, and not emasculated.

I believe in live and let live. Most gay people keep to themselves, just like most straight people do. I wish the activists would get the f--- out of my face.

Here's the story. Gays, lesbians, transgender freaks, you can all serve in the military, just keep your mouth shut and your hands to yourselves. Hell, they would boot a heterosexual for feeling up someone of another gender, I would expect them to boot you friggin' butts with the first mention of your sexual orientation.

If the Iowa is going to be turned into some phony museum for deviates, better to take her out to sea and sink her.

You escaped. :)

The ship should be scuttled before it is defiled by the PC fascists..

Why not let Iowans decide? Put it on the ballot.

"Would you approve the USS Iowa to be docked in San Francisco to be displayed and used for anti-american buggery activist propaganda?"

___ yes

___ no

On a Special Report segment on this subject they mentioned that the ship has to stay in California by law.

How many activists for heterosexuality do you see on the streets daily?

[onyx]

Sort of...lol. I "tried" to go to sleep earlier.

[BIGLOOK]

We need Decatur again.

[Petronski]

The Iowa turned into a queer museum?


She should be scuttled rather than that.

[packrat35]

I'd rather see this fine ship turned to razor blades or scuttled in deep water than be abused like this in San Francisco.

[Petronski]

Testify!

I was trying to form the thought and put it into words. You did it for me (and the rest of us, I presume). Thank You.

She'd be much better off in San Diego, no doubt.

If worse comes to worst and the old lady is fated to be surrendered to San Francisco, the least we should do is have Christo cover her with a giant condom to protect her from the natives.

Down here in the SoCal area, we have a gay conservative talk show host named Al Rantel. He thinks a lot of this activist stuff is crap too. Pretty neat guy. :)
