THE EXTREME LEFT STRIKES AGAIN

There was a plan being pushed by veterans groups and local politicians to permanently dock the battleship USS Iowa in San Francisco. This ship played an important role during WWII and Korea and was where the Japanese surrender took place in 1945. The USS Iowa would be made into a museum and memorial to honor a great ship and those who served aboard her. But Liberal City, USA chose to reject the plan. The San Francisco Board of Supervisors voted 8 to 3 against having the ship docked in their city. They cited the military’s stand on gays and the war in Iraq as reasons for rejecting the ship. Gerado Sandoval, one of the members of the board, in an interview on the Hannity and Colmes Show on the Fox News Channel, stated that the ship was a symbol of war. He went on to say that the United States should fully disarm and do away with the military.

This is a great example of what can happen if we vote extreme liberals into office. San Francisco is an extremely liberal city. When I lived there, 1974 to 1978, they even allowed nude sunbathing in downtown parks. The San Francisco Board of Supervisors and those who think like Mr. Sandoval are a disgrace to America. They have insulted all those who have served in the military.
