It has to stay in California for some reason.

Why not take it up the Mississippi River and park it somewhere in Iowa?

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?"

I like that suggestion. I don't know the draft of a battleship, and getting it up river to Davenport (an easily accessible Iowa location) might be a problem. I remember when the Mo ran aground in Chespeake Bay some years ago. Maybe a dry dock could be towed up stream with less draft.

As a former Iowan, I dislike the idea of the Iowa being anywhere near the leftist dung punching three dollar bills of the San Francisco area. And it should never become a "museum for gays etc". Perhaps before being delivered to Davenport, Iowa, it should be taken to sea, then the 16 inch guns used to rid this country of some of the leftist evil that permeates SF and environs.
