Three (Bronx) Cheers For San Francisco
If the city of San Francisco bows to the demands of the "peace activists" who are trying to get an appearance by the Blue Angels canceled, they deserve every, single bit of scorn the rest of the country can heap upon them.
In another stunning display of hatred against our military in the city of San Francisco, Code Pink and their allies - along with a San Fran Supervisor - are working to ground the famous Blue Angels show from flying in their city (emphasis added):
SAN FRANCISCO (Map, News) - The annual aerial show by the U.S. Navy’s Blue Angels — a San Francisco tradition dating back to 1981 that pumps millions into the local economy — is running into opposition from three local peace advocacy groups that are calling for a permanent halt to the popular Fleet Week flyover.
CodePink, Global Exchange and Veterans for Peace, Chapter 69, are working with Supervisor Chris Daly on a Board of Supervisors resolution to address concerns over the Blue Angels.
Daly acknowledged he is considering a call to halt the flyovers because, he said, “they seem dangerous and unnecessary.” Daly said he plans on introducing the resolution as early as Tuesday, but is still drafting the language. A resolution is not legally binding, but states a board position.
Not as unnecessary as Daly, mind you. One of Sister Toldjah's readers suggests building a wall around San Francisco. But I'd point out that they can still go over. Use a dome.

I love San Francisco: it’s one of my favorite cities in the US.
Too bad it’s governed by lunatics. :/

Veterans for Peace, Chapter 69–can’t imagine a better number for them. Keep Frisco, Frisco!
