'Frisco to Marines: Piss off
California's coastline is a foetid cesspool of rabid, spittle-flecked moonbats, ranting against Pres. Bush, capitalism, American imperialism, and most of all, jack-booted thugs oppressing peace-loving foreign types -- and the swirling vortex though which that pestilential turd of self-hatred drops, the epicenter of societal self-loathing, is San Francisco, or as the locals hate it to be known, 'Frisco.
How much does 'Frisco hate the American military?
San Francisco, through which hundreds of thousands passed in World War II to the Pacific’s bloody battles, now doesn’t have space either for the USS Iowa, which it refused in 2005 to provide anchorage for a naval museum, and is moving toward exiling the [Blue] Angels from its skies, nor now for the U.S. Marine Corps’ world famous silent drill team to film.
The Bay Area’s ABC affiliate reports that San Francisco’s film commission Executive Director, Stefanie Coyote, denied permission for the drill team to film a recruiting commercial. She claimed that it would interrupt traffic.
Police Captain Greg Corralles, who commands the traffic bureau that works with crews filming commercials, reminds Ms. Coyote that, “the Film Commission often approves shoots for rush hour.” Corrales, a Marine veteran and father of a son serving his fourth tour in Iraq, adds of Ms. Coyote’s action, “It’s insulting, it’s demeaning.” Corrales also said that, "Ms. Coyote's politics blinded her to her duty as the director of the Film Commission and as a responsible citizen."
Instead,
The U.S. Marine Silent Drill Platoon performed Monday morning in New York's Times Square. They filmed part of a recruitment commercial through the start of the morning rush hour -- something they could not do in San Francisco on the anniversary of 9/11.
National Review's Steve Shippert urges a 'Frisco vacation boycott.
I wouldn't mind it being annexed (or sold) to Mexico, or better yet, to Venezuelan dictator Hugo Chavez, who'd find the political climate muy sympatico.
A society that can't honor the warriors who protect it, that treats the bravest of the brave with contempt is itself deserving of nothing but the same. It does not merit the blood of Marines, spilled in defense of 'Friscans who neither comprehend nor value courage, honor, fidelity.
For shame.

San Francisco is no longer on my list of destinations, despite being the home of the best restaurant in the world (The Tadich Grill on lower California Street).
