+1 what they are wanting to do with her is not only a disgrace to the ship but a slap in the face to every soldier and sailor that has served. |

airlift. one ch-53 with a marine crew and they'll get her the rest of the way! ooorah! semper fi! |

|
I'm in. Let's get the money up. |
|
|
I really FUCKING HATE Kommiefornicatelikehomos.
HOW CAN ANYONE LIVE THERE? |
|
|
|
|
Let me know where to send the check.... |
|
|
YES! Send her to SF! Let her then shell the crap out of those Commie, lib-fag-loven trators...
I, for one, am getting tired of waiting for the great quake to slide 'em into the Pasific... |

I believe Stockton, CA is still the current lead contender, given the SF Board of Governor's position.
I think you guys are looking at it the wrong way. There are people in SF who object to the Blue Angels visiting every year. (Not many, but a vocal amount). Can you imagine the finger it would give them if all of a sudden every time they looked out of their Nob Hill window, there's this dirty great battlewagon sitting on the edge of their city, for all time? NTM |

I also believe she had that appropriation written so by law the Iowa must stay in CA. |
||
|
I hate Talifornia and "their people" more and more each day.
Call me what you want but I could care less if the whole state imploded. |
|
The SF LGBT doesn't want it....this is Feinstein's bright idea to attract tourists. She trying to make it attractive to the SF LGBT and she trying to make this a gay thing to get the SF supervisors to buy off on it. |
|||
|
I saw a bunch of self important leftist homo assholes on T.V. talking about this. What a sick bunch of fairy fucks. I was truly disgusted by them. hate filled bigots and poo stabbers YUCK. Fuck san fran. Let the Iowa go to Stockton.
|
|
Move her to New Orleans. Next time there is looting the good guys will have some fire support.
|
|
unfortunately prk is a beautiful state. it's just the stupid people far outnumber the good people. |
|
|
good plan! |
|
|
+1, it belongs in Iowa |
|
|
Right. The liberals out in San Fran DO NOT WANT IT. Only Feinstein did and she was rejected. |
||||
|
I want the USS Iowa preserved and will more then happy to donate money ......we just need to find a good place to put her.
Or better yet....put her back in service, I can think of a few places that 16 in guns would come in handy. |
|
And if she MUST be scrapped, use the scrap metal to make missiles to fight the war in Iraq. What better way to piss off the peaceniks. |
|
|
Hey here is an idea.........lets make a historical cruise ship out of her. Keep her just as she is and charter her out for cruises.
|
|
Easy, San FAGcisco isn't California. it's a lil fag nation within California. |
|
|
That's ok Pal, we hate you too! |
|
|
I'll buy stock in that venture. She can cruise the beaches of Normandy, stand watch at Iwo Jima, steam up and down the coasts of Iraq, circumnavigate the boot of Italy, - you know, all the vacation spots AMERICANS have created out of socialist dictatorship crap holes. |
|
|
Aren't these ships as a general rule still the property of the US government? If so, I could see the Navy reclaiming their vessel before a museum like that was founded. Look at how the Air Force relocated a B-36 Peacemaker because of the problems involving the community and it's storage, I could see the Navy doing that with the Iowa.
|
|
That's not a half bad idea. And for a fee, let someone pull the trigger on one of them big guns. Hell! I hate the water and even I would sign up for a cruise like that just to pull the trigger on the biggest gunpowder powered can of whupass ever made. But I have to watch what I am saying here! I might give someone further evidence of my supporting the "gay agenda"..... |
|
|
Maybe we should fill it up with homosexuals, and then sink it.
|
|
heh, can you see somali pirates trying to hijack that cruise ship? |
|
|
Hey man, we might need your help with funds to drag old girl up to Iowa. Since the exchange rate is about one pound for a dollar eighty, support from that side of the Atlantic would give us a bigger bang for the buck, er pound. |
|
|
Heck...who wouldn't want to take a cruise like that. |
||
|
HELL NO !
Sink her first ,she deserves that much respect. Filling a large ship with homos and then sinking it sounds like a good idea ,but not this ship |
|
My thoughts exactly. Could you imagine the insult to the men who served on her? |
|
|
What about the gay veterans that served on the ship? also they are not talking about hanging a Gay Pride flag from the Iowa
|
|||
|
What about alcoholics? Alcoholics have served with distinction. Where's their museum? Bullshit. Placing a special-interest museum alongside (and having an annual "peace conference" on board, as well) is an attempt to coopt the battleship for political reasons. The Iowa was able to float on her own, she should be able dock on her own. Let the ass pirates find another national treasure to desecrate. |
||||
|
|
|
|
Are you a sleeper agent from DU? |
||||
|
Well actually the only reason they trying to have the Iowa there is about tourism....not political reasons. The ass pirates [your term] don't care about the ship and I'm sure would rather see the money spend on alot of other things. |
|||||
|
This is the problem with all this "army of one" crap. EVERY FRIGGEN special interest group is gonna want recognition. The military ain;t about validating homosexuality (or heterosexuality for that matter) Its about killing people and breaking things in defense of the nation. It is NO ONES political hammer. Individualists can go elsewhere. Our military is about collective defense, NOT personal expression. |
||
|
Well since you put it that way......I hope they do dock it in SF........should make a great makeout spot. |
||
|
here is my main problem with this. 1 week ago the city leaders were raising hell about how hell would freeze over before they EVER let a symbol of american imperialism and the US military reside in their city. Fast forward 1 week and they are more than happy to allow it on the basis that it is a HOMOSEXUAL monument. Allowing this peice of history to be used as a promotion of a sexual lifestyle is wrong, period. I don't care if it's a tribute to to straight soldiers or those that prefer s&m. ANY sexual theme of ANY kind in such a memorial and display of our nations history is inappropriate and an insult to ALL who have served in the past. |
|
|
Again, Bullshit. They don't want it there, agreed. The people that do want the tourism that it will generate. But they do care about it. If it's coming, they cannot let the opportunity pass to make yet another statement. It's as undeniable as their promiscuity. |

To hell with those douche bags.
What they are doing is tantamount to spitting in the face in the face of every veteran and trodding up the graves of good men and women who gave their life in service to the ideals of this country. Men and women died, in distant lands, far from home and family in order that ALL Americans might live on to enjoy the freedoms we seem to take for granted these days. That includes the freedom to act like a raving lunatic, froth at the mouth, wear birkenstocks, save the whales and parrot the latest barking-moonbat battle-cry. You think it's bad being gay or transgender or whatever the fuck else you are here in the United States, go try in some Worker's Paradise like China. Really...I mean, have at it. Go stand in Tianamen Sqaure and champion gay rights at the top of your lungs. Be sure to write back and tell all us knuckle-draggin' red-staters what it feels like to be mashed into putty under the treads of a T-72. Better yet, invent a time-machine, go back in time and tell all those boys who are just about to jump off the Higgin's Boats at Omaha Beach just not to bother, since the military has been so nasty to you here in your latte-sipping future. When you come back to a Nazi-dominated western hemisphere, ring up Himmler's great-grandson and tell him you need him to get gay rights on his agenda ASAP. Maybe he'll send you to one of those snazzy "resort" camps, or more likely, he'll just send some nice men in jackboots to tattoo your forearm and present you with your pink triangle that you must wear on every article of clothing....while you are waiting for your slot in the oven. I don't care one way or another what your personal preference runs to regarding bedroom antics. I do care when idiots dishonor the service of those who sacrifed thier youth, and in many cases, thier lives, so that you could be free today to do pretty much whatever you please. I swear, some people just need a good, solid kick in the teeth. /Rant off. Sheep |

Yeah forget doing somehting that would make sense. This makes me |
||
|
No the main problem here is simple..........WE [gays] DIDN'T ASK TO HAVE THE FUCKING THING IN THE FIRST FUCKING PLACE...But Swinestein wants the city of SF in move it and pay for its up keep so she can get more tourist dollars.....and she is COMING TO US for our support. WE didn't ask the Navy for a Battleship....but if WE are going to have to pay our tax dollars for it up keep then WE want our little LGBT sign on it. |

|
THEY ARE SELLING GAYS THE BATTLESHIP........IT DIDN'T JUST SHOW UP AND WE TOOK IT OVER |
