Well done MM!

The Left is winning the PR war. That is certain.
LOVE the sweatshirt, Michelle! Whenever the Marines need to go fight, the Navy is always right there to give them a ride! ;)
seejanemom on December 4, 2006 at 8:27 AM
As someone who has attended Fleet Week while serving in the Navy, I say don’t leave. We should inundate San Francisco with the military. Instead of just one Fleet Week, there should be a couple of weeks. Bring the fleet over from the east coast and let them partake of Fleet Week. Let’s have military air shows over San Francisco every month. Let’s not “cut and run” from one of our own cities. Let us barrage them with more military sites and sounds.
Now “Turn to, Commence Ships Work”.
MikeyB on December 4, 2006 at 8:40 AM
Can’t we just cut San Fran loose? What good have they done us in the last five years?
Pablo on December 4, 2006 at 9:03 AM
I agree with MikeyB, for the most part, but the flip side is spending all that Navy money I San Fran versus spending it all in San Diego where it is appreciated.
As far as the sweatshirt. Seems Michelle is trying to turn down the sexy so we can focus more on the message? But it’s not working.
I must say though, all the military people out here really do appreciate Michelle’s solid support of the military.
Thank you again, Michelle.
Lawrence on December 4, 2006 at 9:03 AM
I really hope that all the Pentagon planners have shredded any plans for the defense of San Fran from any military attack. Let the Chicoms take it for all I care, and I live three hours from there.
opusrex on December 4, 2006 at 9:20 AM
I wonder if Madame Pelosi will take this one lying down. It will be interesting to see if there will be retaliation against the Navy’s funding once she grips the Speaker’s gavel, and how the Navy responds.
Dave Shay on December 4, 2006 at 9:21 AM
I say good riddance. Let San Francisco fend for herself. If they don’t want the military, then I think it’s very fair to deny them any protection in the future.
pullingmyhairout on December 4, 2006 at 9:30 AM
A real shame that such a beautiful city has lost its appeal in extreme anything goes liberalism. I used to love to visit there and Marin, but now avoid it like the plague. Its also a place where real nuclear families have fled for years. Interesting to watch it continued devolution as a cautionary tale for the rest of the country.

Webutante on December 4, 2006 at 9:36 AM
No, MikeyB, San Francisco is a quagmire. We need an exit strategy. It’s clear that it has degenerated into a civil war that our armed forces can’t win. Clearly our military is not wanted in San Francisco, so we should remove everything possible from the city and its economy. Consistency demands that nothing built there be purchased by DoD; if they don’t want us to have a military, they don’t want military contracts either.
When you’re so far out that Alan Colmes repeatedly seeks confirmation, asking “are you kidding me?”, you might be a Moonbat.
[I think I'm channelling Jeff Foxworthy.]
When you think Saddam Hussein is not a war criminal, but Donald Rumsfeld is, and that Saddam should not be executed, but Rummy should, you might be a Moonbat.
When you say Osama bin Laden isn’t a terrorist, but George W. Bush is… you might be a Moonbat.
When you think that Bill Clinton’s draft deferments were irrelevant, but Dubya’s TxANG service (flying airplanes that routinely killed pilots even when no enemy was shooting at them) was cowardice… you might be a Moonbat.
When you can say of private defense contractors “screw ‘em”, but that the blood of Casey Sheehan confers Absolute Moral Authority upon his anti-war mother… you might be a Moonbat.
When you can demand that a woman has the unquestioned right to CHOOSE to a doctor suck the brain out of her nearly-born child, with government funding, but no right whatsoever to CHOOSE who gets government funding to put ideas into that brain if she CHOOSEs to deliver the child live instead…

‘to have a doctor…’
PIMF,BYDHP!
The Monster on December 4, 2006 at 9:44 AM
When the Jr ROTC got pulled, I told my husband we could never go to San Fran. He (and his military brother) argued that it was a wonderful city, etc. You know what? There are plenty of wonderful places, I could never visit them all. Nice to eliminate a few from the list, and make my choices easier.
Carin on December 4, 2006 at 9:49 AM
Okay, I’ll admit it: I love San Francisco. Love it. Not crazy about the moonbat population, but I love the city. The restaurants, the shops, the overgrown beach town feel of the place… It’s wonderful. I live in Boston, and love it here, too. I wish there was a way to reclaim these cities from the moonbats.
Farmer_Joe on December 4, 2006 at 9:51 AM
Where in the hell is San Francisco?
Is it part of the United States?
byteshredder on December 4, 2006 at 10:27 AM
Why reward bad behavior? We can’t make San Francisco support the military, but at least we can quit subsidizing their anti-Americanism. The troops know who supports them and who doesn’t.
ReubenJCogburn on December 4, 2006 at 10:28 AM
Seems we should pull all federal funding from San Fran. After all what has it got us in the last 5 years? We can better spend that money on a new warship or three (commissioned elsewhere).
CrazyFool on December 4, 2006 at 10:33 AM
…when I was in the Army, we used to say that about the Air Force…but the notion can be dispelled by three little words:
Close air support.
I know…the Marines pack their own…but, there’s something soothing about having the fire-control officer from a battleship on the horn when you absolutely, positively *HAVE* to break contact.
Puritan1648 on December 4, 2006 at 10:33 AM
“What we need is a comprehensive troop withdrawal out of the hostile territory of San Francisco.”
Exactly. Your on your own guys… Just the way you want it.
RalphyBoy on December 4, 2006 at 10:34 AM
Thanks for getting rid of the Britney Spears picture. Ugh.
Not all San Francisco people are this crazy; I say that because I have family there. God would have saved Sodom and Gomorrah for just five, and there are more than five good people in SF. Let’s not write off the city, commenters.
As for what to do, money talks louder than stupidity. What Michelle highlighted is barely a start. No JROTC? Stop education funds for all of CA. No portage for a retiring battleship? Stop transportation funds for all of CA. With such a threat even on the table, Sacramento would find a way to rein in San Francisco, I’d bet.
flutejpl on December 4, 2006 at 10:35 AM
…or, we can organize a nationwide veterans strike of San Fran. No tourism, no federal events — of ANY kind — no meetings, no conventions…if veterans can say “no”, they ought to say “no”.
It’s about time this “but San Francisco is such a beautiful city” crap ceases. It’s a hole.
One of things this country has been blessed with are beautiful cities. Mind you, most of ‘em are in the hands of moonbats not that far off from San Fran — Seattle comes to mind, ditto Portland, Atlanta, Boston and other places — but they can still be worked with. Let them drink in the tourist dollars and convention trade.
Next year, after the annual Air Force airshow at MacDill in Tampa, wait a few months and have a Navy extravaganza in Tampa. Have conventions in San Diego, Santa Barbara, Corpus Christi, Gulfport and Savannah if you’ve gotta be close to the sea. Tourists could do a *LOT* worse than foregoing the “charms” of the Pervert Capital of the World and seeing instead the St. Petersburg area, sponge divers at Tarpon Springs; check out the Gulf Coast instead of the Gold Coast; reward hoteliers in South Carolina or in the really rather beautiful DelMarVa area over the rather squalid parts of the Bay Area.
Having been to both cities in some detail (I ran across the San Fran peninsula once), and as much as I hate speaking approvingly of Yankeedom, I’d rather spend a month in Boston than a single suppertime in San Francisco (or anywhere within a 50-mile radius)…and that *BEFORE* taking into consideration these recent manifestations of San Francisco’s “charminly quirky” puritanical socialist anti-Americanism.
San Fran thinks of itself as a vanguard city, way ahead of the rest of the nation in being “free” and progressive…although many of their laws an much of their worldview is hardly free, and is too doctrinaire to allow progress except where it’s rigidly controlled. Let it be out there all by itself. Let it be alone, the star in its own universe.
I say cut it off…financially, first of all. Don’t waste a single dime on anything coming out of that benighted city. It’s money better spent elsewhere.
I applaud the Navy secretary for his good judgment.
Puritan1648 on December 4, 2006 at 10:48 AM
That kind of thing takes courage and brains from the people in the positions to do it. A few of the people on the right have brains, but it seems like none of them have any courage. Elected ‘pub’s simply do not have the (gum)balls to do what needs to be done. That’s why Frist will never be president. Same for Lott, etc., etc., etc.
urbancenturion on December 4, 2006 at 10:49 AM
Well said, Monster.
Puritan1648 on December 4, 2006 at 10:49 AM
This is pretty old news - I saw that spot on H&C months ago. San Francisco has long been the most enlightened city in the US - a model for the rest of America.
GregH on December 4, 2006 at 10:59 AM
…if you’d actually said, as opposed to typed, the above, I’d've sworn that you were talking out of your a$$.
As it is, that metaphor in mind, and your having typed it, the mind boggles what you’re using to tap out the letters on the keyboard.

maintenanceman on December 4, 2006 at 11:06 AM
…except, if you’ll extract your head from your fourth point of contact long enough to notice, the story turns on the 2 December story of the SecNav deciding to give San Fran a miss in the launching/commissioning/berthing of the Makin Island.
Read the whole story, bucko…not just the parts which reinforce your paradigms.
Puritan1648 on December 4, 2006 at 11:09 AM
Pull EVERYTHING related to the DoD out of San Francisco (most of it’s gone already anyway). Everything from recruiting offices to San Francisco based companies’ DoD contracts. Pull ROTC units (if there are any) out of San Francisco area colleges and universities. Cut off every penny from from the DoD. Heck, I’d even place the city of San Fransciso off limits to DoD personnel.
The sooner “The Big One” hits that degenerate cesspool the better. And when it DOES happen, don’t expect any assistance from the DoD.
irishsquid on December 4, 2006 at 11:10 AM
Gads, that Frisco treat even made Allan a right winger.
And who else, at first glance, thought that said USS MALKIN Island?
Mazztek on December 4, 2006 at 11:14 AM
“Fleet week” may have a different meaning in San Fransicko. “Fleet” is a name brand of enema…
SouthernGent on December 4, 2006 at 11:34 AM
Thank You Secretary Winter!
I say cancel Fleet Week too!
I spent four years stationed in Alameda from 1990-1994. I love the Bay Area but was glad to leave so I wouldn’t have to put up with all of the misguided left wingers out there.
The only actual military presence left is the Coast Guard Station on Yerba Buena Island and 45 miles away at Travis AFB. Everything else is gone. NAS Alameda, Treasure Island NB, Hunter’s Point Naval Shipyard, The Presidio Army Base, The Naval Supply Center, Mare Island Shipyard, and the Army Supply Depot as well as all of the jobs related to these bases thanks to Pelosi, Feinstein and their ilk.
They don’t need the military so I say leave the Bay Area to stand for themselves when the Islamic Hoards overrun it.

Ouabam on December 4, 2006 at 12:08 PM
Great Vent Michelle!
San Francisco is still part of the United States, even though it is infested with the Moonbat-Chamberlain-Communist Left. It would seem that San Francisco is actually doing the rest of the nation a favor - it has become the place that attracts the most demented of the Left. If San Francisco did not attract these Moonbats other parts of the country would be stuck with them.
I believe if the current residents of San Francisco had their way their area would become an open city - without affiliation to the United States. San Francisco would probably be an open participant of the reconquista if given a chance to do so.
While we may wish that San Francisco, so far Left on the Left Coast if it moved a bit further Left it would fall into the ocean (can we give it a nudge?), this is not likely to happen. What should be done by those who do not agree with their values is to advocate all economic acitivity from the rest of the country be redirected to other areas who advocate the national interest of the United States.
This redirection of economic acitivity could include not only Federal Spending but also actively avoiding companies that base their operations in that area - starting with Apple.
omegaram on December 4, 2006 at 12:19 PM
Well, things haven’t changed there in the last 39 years. That’s when I came back from VN. Yep, I was spit on and called a baby killer.
Maybe we should build a fence around SF to help stop the flow of the idiots to the rest on the country. The flow has already started.
BobK on December 4, 2006 at 12:27 PM
Except if/when an earthquake DOES hit, our military would gladly help out the citizens of S.F., that’s the type of people they are. OTOH, let something bad happen to a military family; you’ll see the average liberal looney (like our own GregH) cheer.
dalewalt on December 4, 2006 at 12:46 PM
I’m quite positive now that San Francisco is HELL. If there is a Hell on earth, it is SF. Inhabited by evil, ran by the devil ( in the flesh), satanic thoughts and actions are ubiquitous and even revered in that city. They want nothing to do with America or our laws and protection.
Not everyone in the modern day Sodom and Gommorah is evil, but many are. Give it to Mexico.
shooter on December 4, 2006 at 12:48 PM
Greg didn’t have anything of substance to contribute, so in his never-ending quest for attention he had to say something so people would look his way.
dalewalt on December 4, 2006 at 12:48 PM
Another sad day for San Fran, Michelle, good vent, again. I tend to agree with those who say, screw SF, let’m stew in their own juice. But. As others have said, not all SF citizens are far left. As someone commented about Sodom & Gomorah, don’t condemn the whole metro area for what may be even a majority of its citizens views. Any reprisals of withdrawel of military monetary support will hurt the few good folks that still live there and probably have no other choice. They just can’t up and leave the lives they’ve built there. Can’t say I have a solution, but I don’t want to hurt the people that don’t agree with the moonbats and have to stay there. Yes, if the majority don’t want the military, then, if it’s true that most of the military installations have already left, move the remainder to a more friendly port, if there is one. I don’t know the facts so I’ll ask, does San Diego welcome the military presence? If so, then let them have the benefits. It’s probably not going to be a situation where there’s a best solution. Any decision will cause unintended hurt to someone that we don’t want to hurt. Tough situation. BTW, the comment regarding your sweatshirt trying to focus our attention on the subject at hand. Um…no, didn’t work, but a nice try! Referring to last Friday’s great Vent on the lack of modesty, it reminded me of that old pantyhose commercial of a few years ago, “Nothing beats a great pair of LEGGS!”. Well, Michelle, you’ve got them, too, even with a modest skirt! Real beauty can’t be hidden. It shines through, no matter the clothes. Your vents are well expressed and your points are well made and valuable information to us. We, the guys in your audience, simply enjoy the beauty of the messenger!

When I was in the Army, a post commander could declare a location off limits to all military personnel. This could be a bar, club or even an entire town. I think that the pentagon should declare San Francisco off limits. Since they don’t want the military, don’t let the military spend their hard earned money there. Just close down all bases, posts, and other military activity there.

I’ve been saying this for YEARS.
The Navy should immediately discontinue all future Fleet Weeks activities in the Bay Area.
It’s time these Than Franthisco thissycrites stop earning millions of dollars in Fleet Week revenue courtesy of the Blue Angels and our visiting servicemembers.

The Navy always says it best when they speak plainly and honestly.
Kind of like a Nebraska farmer.
Black Adam on December 4, 2006 at 4:40 PM
They’d better hope that they never experience a hellacious earthquake or a nuclear strike by Kim Jong Il because who will help them? Frankly I hope they do something absurd like ban the military totally from their city. Then when tragedy happens we’ll just leave them to their own devices. Let Sean Penn help them out. See how far they get.
foxforce91 on December 4, 2006 at 4:42 PM
In the late 1970s I walked the streets of San Francisco seeking employment. I had to lie about my background (three VN tours) before I could get interviews for entry-level jobs. Those attitudes abated a bit after R. Reagan was elected but they did not go away. BDS has brought them back out of the closet in full fury and without the slightest sense of possible impropriety. The productive element of San Francisco is 95% commuters to corporate headquarters and the like. What lives there is predominantly and increasingly pathological. Throw a fence around the place and spray them with prozac thrice daily.
Oilpatcher on December 4, 2006 at 4:44 PM
I was stationed at Twentynine Palms for a couple of years in the mid 60s. How did I get so old?
At any rate, I only went to San Francisco on one ocassion. Did not leave anything there,never went back.It was that bad even back then.
Worked in Import/Export for a few years. Never found a reason to visit there even on business.
By the way, how cute did Michelle look in that little Navy sweatshirt, Huh?

foxforce91 on December 4, 2006 at 5:11 PM
The City of San Francisco seems like a bad acid trip brought to reality. The parade footage that I’ve seen is pretty disgusting. I think San Fran should have a muslim Imam appointed immediately, to enforce sharia law. I’m calling Micheal Savage. San Fran Freako!
sonnyspats1 on December 4, 2006 at 5:16 PM
It’s kind of fun at night in San Francisco to watch psychotic bums terrorize rich liberals. You just know as they are driving in silence home to Marin, the women are filled with contempt for their husbands. I live closer to Oakland where the bums are the playthings of immigrant street gangs, so the streets are remarkably bum-free … until you get to Berkeley where it all turns back into San Francisco.
laelaps on December 4, 2006 at 5:26 PM
San Fran’s not entirely liberal. I’m here. :) Don’t give up on us yet! :)
dscherck on December 4, 2006 at 5:35 PM
It’s funny watching my liberal, SF dwelling relatives turn their noses up and ignore the bums they have to step over to get to their organic, vegan, “fair trade,” $30 a plate restaurants and fancy stores.
I’m dreading my upcoming visit to this beautiful yet worm-eaten anti-American cesspool.

I would just like to take this moment to say one thing:
Gerardo Sandoval, so extremist that even Alan Colmes, defender of any and ever stupid liberal trick, was taken aback by his comments. They must be doing something right (or if you’re intelligent, very very wrong) in San Francisco.
Wolfman on December 4, 2006 at 7:13 PM
I agree. I just pray it’s not a nuke, cuz I live in San Jose.
Dinsdale Piranha on December 4, 2006 at 7:34 PM
MM,
Another great post. I’m a former U.S. Navy sailor. It upset me when they banned the Jr. ROTC. I was really surprised when they turned down the U.S.S. Iowa, she will draw lots of tourists. The moonbat fool who said we don’t need a military is obviously mentally ill and needs to be hospitalized.
I don’t catch Michael Savage very often, I would have paid to hear his take on this.

SanFran - Nov. 1983 About ten of us jarheads were part of a special color guard for one of the Marine Barracks’ birthday balls. before we were to perform our duties we decided to take a stroll. A kind old woman feeling some remorse over the Marine Barracks Beirut bombing she slipped a $20 to one of the guys. Enough for a lime, shaker of salt, and a giant bottle of tequila. Semper Fi. Other then that, and the naked two girl massage, SanFran was forgettable.
jdkchem on December 4, 2006 at 10:17 PM
I remember being stationed at Alameda, CA (across the bay from San Fran) back in the mid 1990’s. In January 1997 I believe it was, my ship (USS Carl Vinson CVN-70) had to change homeports to Bremerton, WA because the base at Alameda was being closed (along with MANY others during the Klinton years). I was just a kid out of high school and wasn’t too politically aware at the time but thinking back on it, most seemed pretty much indifferent to our presence. We were pretty much out of sight, out of mind given we were clear across the bay from San Fran. The only time the city saw us is when we went to sea and just barely made it under the Golden Gate Bridge. I swear, the distance between the bridge and the top of our radar mast couldn’t have been more than a few feet… or so it seemed from the flight deck. Actually, I never went ACROSS the Golden Gate bridge while I was stationed in the area. I went UNDER it more than a few times but never across. Oh well, a bridge is a bridge I guess.

I don’t know..there are a couple of things I like about San Francisco…1)My favorite car chase of all time, from Bullitt, was filmed there; and 2) Who can forget Harry Callahan? Granted, the lavender mob would probably string him up these days but for the 70’s and 80’s, he was one cool cat.
austinnelly on December 4, 2006 at 10:55 PM
One thing I miss most about San Francisco is Mel’s Diner which was one of my favorite spots to eat though I usually went ot the one in Berkeley which is often more crazy than San Fran.
Yakko77 on December 4, 2006 at 11:21 PM
Ah yes, San Francisco, California. The jewel of the land of fruits and nuts. Lombard street is their idea of “straight.” U.S. Navy personnel are indeed fortunate that they are leaving the bay area.

The Ugly American on December 5, 2006 at 12:22 AM
Loved the Greg H retort as well. Glad to see the Navy finally grow a set and would love to see them pull Fleet Week too. My brother’s friend was stationed out there from 89-92 & he said when he first got there it was really great but by the time he left, he couldn’t get out of there fast enough. It seemed to turn that quick. I know my Dad was stationed at Treasure Island in the 50’s & he and my Mom loved it there (of course they just were married too so that tends to make memories brighter). I really wish they would pull federal funds from the City by the Bay. I feel for those who have to live there that don’t follow the Sandoval view.
Catie96706 on December 5, 2006 at 1:59 AM
This would make a great case study. Unfortunately, the people that need to learn the lesson would try to blame all the consequences on someone else. Which is exactly the reason that San Fran became what it is now.

Formally Lance Corporal A Company, 2nd Marine Raider Battalion(Carlson’s Raiders), debarked the Nautilus on a rubber raft with his fellow Raiders and kicked some butt on Makin atoll in 1942. He passed away in 1991 as proud an ex-devil dog as they come. San Diego was his kinda town and I am sure his spirit will be dock side to lead the jar-heads to the local entertainment….’Frisco’ entertainment wasn’t dads cup of tea.
