> [@Dead Badger](#): > > Wherein **Mr. Moto** raises a strawman, assumes facts not in evidence (that the board members are all liberals) and broadens a brush from 11 people to an entire city, thus putting the lie to the assertion that **Mr. Moto** can think for shit. Or at least that he can be bothered to when there’s “lib’ruls” to be bashed. Hey, technically it’s true. That’s all that counts, right? If someone was idiotic enough to assert that every single liberal person in the world respected the military, this example would certainly prove them wrong. I for one think it’s very helpful of **Mr. Moto** to pre-emptively dispel such a foolish claim. Plus, it puts the lie to the assertion that all conservatives really suck at pre-emptive action. ---

This reminds me. When Feinstein was mayor of San Francisco in the 80s, she was instrumental in turning Fleet Week into a really big deal. However, the “gay community” (so the term goes) wasn’t sold on the idea, so she had a town hall sort of meeting to try to get people onboard. The story goes that she got up on stage, talked about how it was important for San Franciscans to buy into the week of events on behalf of the Navy, and told the mostly gay audience, “Now, I understand that many of you have differences with the military. But when these sailors come to town, I would really like it if you could welcome them with open arms.” Some wiseacre stood up and said, “Oh, Madam Mayor, we will! We will!” Laughter insued. (Feinstein, not having that good of a sense of humor, apparently stood there with a straight face, not getting the joke.) Anyway, I think the SF city council made a really boneheaded move. Speaking purely in terms of politics and perception, the opening of the USS Iowa museum could have been a great platform for Newsom et al to talk about being for the troops but against the war, as an increasing number of Americans are. But nope, they rejected a floating tribute to the importance of the Navy to San Francisco and the Bay Area. Dumb, dumb, dumb. Shame on them. ---

While agreeing that the OP goes a little overboard (heh), you are missing his caveats: > [@Mr. Moto](#): > > They voted 8-3 to reject the ship, thus putting the lie to the assertion that **all** liberals respect military service. \*\* Not all do\*\*, and San Francisco apparantly is full of that worthless crowd that does not. Although saying that \*\*some \*\*liberals don’t respect military service is no more a bombshell than saying **some** conservatives fetishize it. ---
