Now if I were the President, I would Eminent Domain a piece of land along the water front for the USS Iowa. The Commies would go apeshit.

That's fucked up. Kali is seriously CTD. At least socal, that is. Can't honor the ship's involvement in WWII because of the current war? That's fucked up.

They should just move it to SD over by Seaport Village. At least some folk in SD have some fucking respect (minus the illegals - we owe them everything last i checked).

These people are no longer Americans. They are some communist/moron hybrid that would have fit in perfectly with the NKVD.

The article failed to mention that there is also a bloody Aircraft Carrier there too. USS Hornet (CV-12). Shit, some group is trying to get the USS Ranger as a museum here in Portland. I don't think it will happen.

Come down to San Diego to see the aircraft carrier USS Midway. Over a million people paid bucks last year to come visit the carrier museum even though it wasn't (and still isn't) fully ready. A private group of Californians bought and paid for the thing from the Navy and have invested millions in putting it together.
I served on the WWII era carrier from 1982 to 1985 and know the Midway magic.  |

Hey, it offends the Liberals and fags somehow, what did you expect?

No, this is the exact same San Francisco you learned to love - they have a measure on the Nov ballot to make SF like DC in regards to handguns - "turn 'em in." |

I am glad that the Iowa is not going to be docked there.
This great warship deserves a place of honor ,and should be turned into a floating museum for the generations to come. It would be a dishonor for her to be docked in San FagSickos . Admittadly ,I advocate the idea of putting the Iowa,New Jersey, and Wisconsin back into active service. We have hundreds of thousands of 16 inch shells that could be used to cheaply and effectively encourage more peaceful times in the Middle East . Remember ,they need seaports to ship oil here . I believe the Missouri should be kept as a memorial because of her historical signifigance. (Japs signed surrender on the Missouri ) |

So where are the other states going to find the people to stand up and fight the war in Iraq at the level California does? Last time I looked California still leads the (dis-)United States in miitary recruiting and sadly also in deaths in the Iraq/Afghanistan war. How's that for honor, courage, and commitment - real blood and guts and actually sacrific not a hollow empty warships sitting on a waterfront selling tours for $8 a person?
Keyboard commandos unite to hate America! Outside of New York City, the San Francisco bay area is probably the most liberal area in the nation. They don't really need another tourist attraction and to be honest niether does San Diego (USS Midway). Los Angles possibly but there is a shortage of docking space and the battleship would need 800 feet worth of it and that's going to be hugely expensive in the busiest port in America and the third most busy on the planet. The Queen Mary and the Skorpian (Soviet Sub) are a pretty popular attraction but they don't do that much business. I just sad that it was my tax dollars that were used for the purchase of the ship. I do feel better knowing that emimant domain can now be used to take whatever part of the water front was needed to house the ship. I would have rather seen it put into Alameda any ways but the 70 year old citizens that own that island would object to the traffic the attraction would cause. I'm surprised that the USS Hornet was allowed there. So it looks like only Los Angeles (really it would be Long Beach) hasn't bought a warship. |
