Moonbat protester at Walter Reed: “My union made me come here;” Plus: Revolt against Code Pinkos in the Bay Area…and SF mayor Gavin Newsom goes on the attack
Update: Cinnamon Stillwell reflects on Fleet Week and panicked SF peaceniks:
Getting to watch the Blue Angels practice throughout the week is another perk for patriots living in the vicinity. There’s nothing quite like the beauty of jets flying silently in formation, that sonic boom as they pass overhead, or the thrill of a jet zooming past one’s very window.
But for local liberals unaccustomed to such icky displays of militarism and residents annoyed that their daily lives of leisure are interrupted by those who, in reality, make those daily lives of leisure possible, Fleet Week is a time of terror.
I know of one such fellow who was in a virtual panic last weekend to, as he put it, “get out of town before the Blue Angels arrived!” Others remained in the war zone, but their grumbling can be overheard at the corner store, the gym, and anywhere else that San Franciscans choose to emote about their political inclinations.
The truth is San Francisco is a city that likes to pretend its favored existence has nothing to do with the generations of fighting forces that have shed blood, sweat, and tears on America’s behalf. When Supervisor Gerardo Sandoval foolishly stated on “Hannity and Colmes” in 2006 that “the United States should not have a military,” that pretty much said it all…
***
A few weeks ago, I had the pleasure of joining folks from the Gathering of Eagles and Free Republic for the weekly pro-troops rally at Walter Reed Army Medical Center.
Who’s on the other side of the street with the tiny contingent of Code Pinkos protesting the war? Look for the union label!
According to FR’s Albion Wilde, at least one of them is a union worker who was told to show up. The Code Pink protest outside Walter Reed is led by one Bruce Wolf, chair of the “Social Justice Committee” of the AFL-CIO-affiliated union O.P.E.I.U. Local 2, who has referred to soldiers as “scabs:”
Mr. Wolf has written numerous wistful letters to lefty sites over the last several years, claiming his demonstration is not political, trying to increase participation — alas, without credibility, nor success. As the DC Chapter’s extensive documentation shows, their numbers have fallen off and stayed lower than the number of Free Republic troop supporters for years now, while DC Chapter’s numbers continue to grow. It’s a really hard sell, even for lefties, to protest the war in the faces of volunteer soldiers who are wounded, and Mr. Wolf is not doing well at it.
This week, in fact, the Reuters news organization ran an article headlined, “U.S. Protests Shrink While Antiwar Sentiment Grows.” Anti-war organizers feud among themselves, reporter Andy Sullivan said, “and participants question the effectiveness of the street protests.” Astonishingly, this mainstream media article at last pointed up the so-called “peace” movement leadership’s ties to the communist Worker’s World Party and its splinter, Party for Socialism and Liberation. What it doesn’t mention is the dedicated counterprotest presence of FReepers, Gathering of Eagles, Protest Warriors, Vets for Victory, MoveAmericaForward and hundreds of other grassroots groups determined not to allow another war to be won on the ground but lost by the media and Congress, as had happened in the Vietnam era.
On a related note, counterprotesters in the San Francisco Bay area are incensed by Code Pink’s vandalism and harassment at the military recruiting station in Berkeley. My friend Melanie Morgan of KSFO and MoveAmericaForward e-mails me about efforts to counterprotest the Pinko thugs:
I am posting your Lead Story on my website(s), with a call to action for the Bay Area supporters of our military men and women who are sacrificing every single day for our country.
I’m going to alert the KSFO audience on Monday when I return to the airwaves and read the deeply moving letter of response from Captain Richard Lund who is a fine example of the caliber of troops we have guarding our backs in this country and in Iraq.
After this disgusting attack at the Marine office in Shattuck Square, Captain Lund issued an open letter to the Berkeley City Council. This quote from your website touched me deeply:
“Recruiters are Traitors.” Please explain this one. How exactly am I a traitor? Was I a traitor when I joined the Marine Corps all those years ago? Is every Marine, therefore, a traitor? Was I a traitor during my two stints in Iraq? Was I a traitor when I was delivering humanitarian aid to the victims of the tsunami in Sumatra? Or do you only consider me a traitor while I am on this job?
Um, Captain Lund, the anti-war lunatics DO consider you a traitor. The rest of the world does not.
I am going to petition the City Council to enforce rules and regulation regarding criminal trespass and vandalism.
I am going to go there myself, personally, to draw attention to this hateful action by a fringe group who has absolutely NO moral authority –whose members include Susan (Medea) Benjamin, who engaged in anarchy at the WTO in Seattle, in between organizing her Code Pink Pepto-Bismol crowd who like to get naked for peace.
I do not hold out much hope from the Berkeley City Council. It is comprised of left-over Hippies from the Sixties who still think it’s the Summer of Love.
However, Mayor Tom Bates, has a distinctly different view of free speech that our military has fought valiantly for –he was convicted of stealing one thousand copies of the a conservative student-run newspaper.
According to the Stanford Daily newspaper…
“Berkeley Mayor Tom Bates has decided to plead guilty for the theft and subsequent disposal of 1,000 copies of the Nov. 4 issue of the Daily Californian, which contained an endorsement of his opponent, Shirley Dean. A month after the incident, Bates is developing legislation to prevent this type of theft from reoccurring.Regardless of the power structure in Berkeley, we will NOT let this insult to our troops remain unanswered. Not now. Not ever.
Yep. As I noted earlier this week, it is NOT the 1960s anymore…
…which makes San Fran mayor Gavin Newsom very, very unhappy:
ayor Gavin Newsom, attending Fleet Week festivities on the Marina Green on Saturday, lashed out at conservative critics who mocked San Francisco’s consideration of a measure to ban the Navy’s Blue Angels from flying over the city during this week’s celebration.
He cited that criticism and reports that the city turned down a Marine request to make a television recruitment commercial in the Financial District as examples of what he called exploitation by conservatives who don’t “allow the facts to get in their way.”
“Shame on the extreme right,” Newsom told The Chronicle. “I am sick and tired of this city being depicted as anti-military. The extreme right exploits the exception, when I believe there is a predominant respect in this city for the military, vets and those serving today.”
As a commenter at the SF Chron website pointed out:
This City is anti-military. I don’t care how you spin it, but the City of San Francisco has been hostile to the Military ever since the 60′s. Mayor Newsom has a very short memory — the “ban the Blue Angels’ stunt by Daly and preventing the Marines from filming are only two recent events. Prior to that you had the Board of Supes preventing the US Navy and Admiral Toney from cleaning up and making use of Hunter’s Point back in the 80′s and the snubbing of the USS IOWA when the Navy wanted to homeport the ship in SF. More recently, moves to ban JROTC and recruitment from schools continue the pattern. No matter how the Mayor explains or spins recent events, there is a long history of SF being anti-military. Maybe only the few remaining [in] SF can remember past the last 6 months.

I guess anytime we see these dimwit Code Pink Stinkers we should “Look for the Union label!”
When will someone take legal action against Code Pink? Besides their crass harassment of our wounded soldiers, that is a neighborhood outside Walter Reed. Property was damaged at that recruitment office in Berkeley. Code Pinkers routinely disrupt testimony before Congress, are “arrested,” and folks like John Murtha tell the Capitol Police to let them go. Your free speech ends at my door; when people disturb a peaceful neighborhood, damage property, and disrupt both the free speech of others and the nation’s business, they cross a legal line we should enforce.
What happens if the union worker just says no? No-one but No-one would get away with that bullcrap with me.
Labor unions became just another political arm of the Democrat Party years ago. It’s beyond time they be legally treated as such.
Campaign finance laws, anyone?
IMHO-How about a RICO indictment?
But don’t question their patriotism!
You must log onto the union’s web site. Such insite as to where these people are dwelling. O.P.E.I.U. Local 2
google this. Then check links, especially to the one going after, of all people, the Miller Brewing Co. That link is the Workers page. The “O” in workers is a red star! Enough said
Just remember they keep saying they “Support the Troop”. Yea right.
Its about time the msm start to report this not many people understand what drives the left, including most of their followers.
I suggest you email the reuters link to everyone you know.
“Code Pink, Doing the Vandalisem real Americans wont do”
I won’t hold my breath on it, but I am with you on a RICO statute violation. If we every get a real Attorney General in this country there are a lot of people that need to be under investigation for their sedition and treason. We could start with some prominent Democrats in the House and Senate. I believe they have provided enough ammunition through their own public statements that could end them all on the gallows.
Finally good to see the liberals in the Bay Area scrambling for cover, they are just like cockroaches when you turn on the light. Newsom must have gone off his med’s if he thinks the community of San Francisco supports the Military. I spent 3 years growing up in South San Francisco when my dad was an Air Force Recruiter in the 60s. I saw the Hippies/Flower Children and was not impressed. I remember once my dad telling my mom he could never go to UC Berkley to recruit Air Force Officers because they would have torn him to pieces.
The one sight that always got my attention as a kid was the Veterans Cemetery we would drive by at least once a week and the row on row of crosses of those that gave the last full measure during WWII and Korea. Even as a kid growing up during the Vietnam War I got it, then again I was a “Military Brat” and for the most part we understand especially the kids I grew up with whose fathers would never come home again. Hard to believe anyone living in that area can just ignore a memorial of that level. I guess most folks are too busy with their useless lives looking for their next thrill or fix.
The best way to send a message to all the crazies, particularly those in San Francisco, is to avoid that city. My suspicion is that Gavin Newson is incensed because the tourist industry is hurting. Good and moral people around the country are beginning to wake up to the perverted and anti-American activities of that city – and they are avoiding it when it comes to conventions, conferences and the like. (Also, If you want an anything goes environment, Las Vegas is probably a better place. It is a city that thrives on capitalism, not socialism.)
Gavin Newsome respects the military the same way he respects the wedding vows of his close friends.
I was born in that city and grew up there and Newsome represents San Francisco perfectly and for that reason I do not step foot nor spend dollar one in that city.
San Jose is my home now. San Jose is such A better city than San Francisco on so many levels that there simply is no comparison.
The Dems have figured out that Code Pink is useless,they dropped Sheehan like a used condom.Where I live I never hear anyone say a positive thing about them except after those pictures last week they are Positive they are pigs(no Offense).
Righteous Anger is so funny when the Libs use it without even knowing hte facts behind it. And in a way I agree with Newsome because I imagine that many in SF DO support the military, but the power structure, including the incompetent Mayor, are all a part of keeping the military as far away as possible,
I know a few people in San Fran … and they are very pro-military, and conservative. I would bet San Fran is about to start having a different voice to be heard, judging by the SF Chron website commenter.
Might be hope yet …
Hello All. What gets to me is the demand and creation for laws in this country to support and protect people from even the most vile sections of our society. The recent S&M fair is a perfect example. However, no one mentions or enforces the laws that exist to protect our military. The Soldiers and Sailors Act was specifically created to protect military personnel from undue hardships/lawsuits/scams/high interest rates while they are serving. The majority of states ignore the existence of the law.
As for SF, until the conservatives come out in support of our military, take the initiative, fight for what is right, SF will always be a socialist, anti-military, anti-american, anti-christian, anti-hetrosexual, etc… colony of ignorance and self gratification.
Unfortunately, the only hope for change is SF is a tragic and sudden event that exposes them for what they are and lets them experience the ‘real’ world horrors that they believe they are immune to.
Have a great day everyone.
For the life of me I can’t understand why the Navy, or Marines for that matter, should have to ask permission of any city to use it’s shores or airspace. The defacing of the Marine office should be considered federal property and therefore a federal offense which should involve the FBI.
Face it were not dealing with a group that could make it past the first question on “Are you smarter than a fifth grader”
If Mayor Newsom stayed sober for more than five minutes or wasn’t busy taking somebody else’s wife to the S&M Faire and performing gay wedding ceremonies, he’d realize that we’re the ones with the facts on our side.
*City bans the USS Iowa
*City boots JROTC from SF public schools
*City council member tries to ban the Blue Angels
*City council member says on live t.v. (Hannity & Colmes) that there shouldn’t even be a military
*Bay area recruitment offices vandalized, nobody arrested
*Marines prohibited from appearing in a recruitment video shot within city limits
Sounds pretty anti-military to me.
Unfortunately, my brother lives in SF. Nice town, but God cursed it with crazy people.
Pretty prominent adam’s apple on that gal Medea.
The Blue Angels have 26 deaths in 60 years and that makes them unsafe? I’m pretty sure more people die each year from sexually transmitted diseases in SF.
Pro union or not, nobody but nobody could force me to do something I dont believe in!
There is something else very unattractive about SF people…they are elitist and think they are better than anyone else.
I have a gf who lived in the South Bay of S. CA. She was at an activist event in the Bay area (animal related) and struck up a conversation with a gal there. Once it was revealed my friend was not from SF, she got the cold shoulder and the conversation was halted.
I have an aunt (who has Bush Derangement Syndrome as well and yes, she is bitter like the Code Pink ladies) and she says Northern CA people routinely make fun of red staters and Southern CA. They HATE Southern CAlifornians (even though Southern CA produces the most tax money from the state). They are so full of hate and bigotry…they think they are the only ones who have brains or have any worth at all.
They think they are so open minded but they are really the most intolerant, unloving, unopen people around. I wish they would get some self-awareness and see themeselves for who they are.
I think the people of SF need to learn the true meaning of diversity and start respecting other people’s paths in life.
Some people truly want to be in the military and feel it is their calling. It makes them happy. It provides a clear career path. It’s what they were meant to do.
It makes me ill how these self appointed people want to tell others how to live their lives. They want to take away other people’s freedoms to do what they want with their lives just because they don’t agree with it. Sickening.
Another thing…many people have been very happy in the military and it has effectively takent them out of poverty and given them skills and discipline. This is a good thing.
How about tolerance Bay Area? For ALL types of people?

“… Adhering to this expression of the supreme will of the nation in behalf of the rights of conscience, I shall see with sincere satisfaction the progress of those sentiments which tend to restore man to all of his natural rights, convinced he has no natural right in opposition to his social duties. … – Thomas Jefferson; January 1, 1802 from the famous letter to the Danbury Baptist Association
Patrick Henry – Bad men cannot make good citizens. It is when a people forget God that tyrants forge their chains. A vitiated state of morals, a corrupted public conscience, is incompatible with freedom. No free government, or the blessings of liberty, can be preserved to any people but by a firm adherence to justice, moderation, temperance, frugality, and virtue; and by a frequent recurrence to fundamental principles.
Samuel Adams – The liberties of our country, the freedom of our civil Constitution, are worth defending at all hazards; and it is our duty to defend them against all attacks. We have received them as a fair inheritance from our worthy ancestors: they purchased them for us with toil and danger and expense of treasure and blood, and transmitted them to us with care and diligence. It will bring an everlasting mark of infamy on the present generation, enlightened as it is, if we should suffer them to be wrested from us by violence without a struggle, or to be cheated out of them by the artifices of false and designing men.
Memo to Rush Limbaugh: It’s apparently okay to call our legitimate troops “scabs”, but to call people who lie about (or never did) their military service “phony” is still a no-no.
Double standards abound with the left…they must chant “Free speech for me, but not for thee” in their sleep.
Nearly got into a fight with some lefties in a van on my way to my in-laws this afternoon. They had, among their other religion-insulting bumper stickers, one that read “Lobotomies for Republicans: It Should be the Law!”
When they drove by my car, I screamed at the top of my lungs “I’M REPUBLICAN AND PROUD OF IT!”

True. And it might work, but not if America responds to that event the way they responded to New Orleans.
It’s never good to allow a baby having a temper tantrum to have all the controls.
I’d like to see the military totally withdraw from SF, and take all Fed dollars with them.
And be VERY careful what they decide to ever do for SF again, no matter what.
A LITTLE WISDOM and not so much SLOP, next time, please.
San Francisco is gone, done, toast. Leave her to the ash bin of history. Honestly, why in the hell would you have a military recruiting center in Berkeley to begin with? Good God, leave them to their filth and their socialism. Eventually, they’ll run out of people who actually work and pay taxes, so they’ll have to eat their own to survive, and we can just sit back and watch and laugh.
The unions are also on their way to being toast. Of course they have to coerce their members to adopt a leftist agenda. All leftists are victims of coercion, either by hysterical propaganda, a genuine lack of intellect which makes them “brainwashable,” or the simple fear that they may be called upon to fend for themselves someday.
And Code Pink? No one takes these fat chicks seriously. They are old, angry, dried up women who think they can change the world into a place where fat, saggy boobs, gray underarm hair, and frizzed out bad perms will become hot. They’re the girls that never got asked to dance, they’re still pissed off about it, and they want all of us to pay. Tell one of ‘em she’s pretty, and you’ll have her votin’ Republican by sundown. I don’t give these losers a second thought. I really don’t understand why anyone else does.
Unfortunately, my brother lives in SF. Nice town, but God cursed it with crazy people.

Don’t they realize, they are abdicating their responsibility to help keep the community THRIVING?
I thought I had a friend in SF some years ago, and when she told me that she didn’t want to be seen with me in public becxause it would hurt her reputation – I thought it was just me that she didn’t like and she was trying to get rid of me. I now realize that being seen with me – a conservative – really would have hurt her reputation, and that I would be going back home (just east of Indianapolis) and she would have to remain there in SF.
Now, some 10 years later, I sometimes wonder if she still hangs out with the same crowd or if she ever started to think for herself.

Not only the TOURISTS – someone mentioned a few weeks ago the $$$Millions at stake for SF if the military did actually withdraw from there.
Having a base close has been known to kill a few towns.
Couldn’t happen to a more deserving community.
Liberals should have to walk the talk – in an environment where they cannot suck the diff out of Conservative structures around them – not by one thin red PENNY.
They have all kinds of excuses why they shouldn’t have to, and all kinds of excuses why the Majority doesn’t “SEEM” to have the right to vote to shut them down, no matter how destructive they get.
I don’t find that in the Constitution.
I find NOTHING in the Constitution about it being mandatory for us to carry the burdens of deviant perverted people who carry no responsibility or accountability for themselves – no accomodation for ANARCHY, or OLIGARCHY in our Constitution.
They are a Cancer. And all the ACLU lawyers in front of all the perverted judiciary benches on the planet cannot change that.
America got along beautifully without them for hundreds of years.
They couldn’t get along without Conservatives for one planting season – they’d be like the “palestinians” who took over the greenhouses of Gaza with a crop in the ground and growing when they got them. They killed the crops inground with ignorance, couldn’t get a new crop going, even those who were the former hired hands of the same greenhouses – and then in frustration, destroyed the greenhouses and used them for launch sites for missiles into Israel.
Liberals are no better.
Michelle, thank you so much for spotlighting what I detest about my generation. I graduated HS in ’65, and watched as my school chums came home from Viet Nam only to be not only spat upon in San Francisco, but having to face a gauntlet of hippie freakos with bags of urine, excrement, vomit, etc. as they exited buses to board planes to return to their homes. I also remember seeing John sKerry testify that my friends were “baby killers” as well as various and sundry other accounts I knew in my heart were absurd lies about them.
I knew those folks. I knew their hearts. I knew there was no way ANY situation could have made them commit the atrocities they were accused of, or turn them into the animals he portrayed. I “dropped out” of my own generation, became a “cowgirl” and kept hope that my generation would eventually grow up.
It’s obvious to me that many have failed to do so, perhaps due to atrophied brains from drug induced hazes. I’m ashamed of my own generation that this sort of antics are involving this newest and greatest of all generations.
As a volunteer at Fisher House and with Soldiers Angels, I have met too many of these heroes to recall. That even one of them is demeaned in a city that should be fenced off from civil society, distresses me unbelievably!
Hello US NAVY-PLEASE WAKE UP AND NO LONGER HOLD YOUR FLEET WEEK FESTIVITIES IN THAT CITY BY THE BAY! I feel so sorry for those who are conservative and pro-military in that town. It would be nice if it would change some but I don’t know if it will. I visited there in 1997 for my then boyfriends brother’s wedding. It was absolutely beautiful and I throughly enjoyed it. However, we have decided that we will never visit there while things are like they are. They can respect the freaks at the Folsom Festival but not the military folks. Strange drugs I guess.
Dagney, thank you for your great work. All of my first cousin males on my dad’s side went to Viet Nam and related stories of what they faced when they came home. One of them didn’t come home and at his funeral (I was 6 but I remember this if it were yesterday) three of my female cousins showed up with their anti-war friends and spit on his casket at the burial. That split my family and these same three loser cousins stopped talking to me when I joined the military out of high school. I told them I knew I was too immature to go to college and that I needed to grow up and I was inspired by Ronald Reagan to serve my country. When I later married an Army Officer they sent no card nor gift but one sent some dog poop instead. Nice women. They are still protesting as my brother ran into one of them a few years ago when they tried to shut down the city of Chicago. They still talk to him of course because he never served but they don’t talk to me or my parents. I know that there are a lot of wonderful people like you Dagney who did drop out of their generation and went on to raise their families and all. Unfortunately the kooks always get the press.
As for Gavin, he needs to look to his own deportment.
Denial ain’t just a river in Egypt…Mr. Newsom.
For those who post here that they will boycott San Francisco, I ask you this… why are you giving up on your country? Are you not a patriotic American?
If you do not agree with what is going on in San Francisco, support your country and work to ensure that the vocal minority that speak the extreme talk do not damage the of an unorganized majority. There is no support by the Republican Party for opposition candidates in the San Francisco Bay Area… do some groundwork and I am confident that a Republican majority would win in San Francisco.
To do anything less is truly a national tragedy.
Speaking as a retired cop – I’d just like to know why the SFPD has abrogated it’s responsibilities to enforce the laws? I would assume SF has – as most jurisdictions do – a law against destruction of property. Why then did they not summarily arrest the Code Pinko’s for damaging the recruiting office? Were there not SFPD officers on detail for the Code Pinko demonstration?
How about demonstrating without a permit? How about the harassment of the recruiting officers? How about disorderly conduct?
Were officers told NOT to enforce the law here? Do these cops not know that no supervisor nor political official of any level can order them not to enforce the law? What kind of cops do they have out there in that zoo?
When it comes to SF tourism and the like, I’m reminded of the old cop fallback … “nothing to see here, folks – just move along.”
Paul Kanter, member of the Jefferson Airplane (FROM San Francisco), once described San Franciso as “49 square miles surrounded by reality.” That is as true today as when he said it.
I was born in SF (albeit at Letterman Army Hospital) and have lived in CA all my life. So I know something of the wack-a-doodle politics in this area. I truly do believe that CA is the worlds largest outdoor insane asylum.
And Gavin Newsome commenting on the political motiviation of the conservatives to blacken SF because of it’s anti-military stance, while trying to claim that SF is not anti-military, is like Ted Kennedy making moral pronouncements on US Court nominees. How’s your friend’s wife, Gavin? Seen Mary Jo lately, Ted?
I hope Iran’s first nuke is dropped on SF.
Why are all these anti-war, anti-American seditious Liberals all of a sudden declaring that they are not Democrats? Am I the only one that has noticed this? Maybe they have been told by the DNC that the DNC is not being helped by their antics and thusly they need to all collectively say, when asked, that they are not members so as not to be identified with them, giving them a chance to declare ignorance as to their actions in the election, but up until recently they all WERE Dems.
It has happened here as well. All the Libs here seem to try to clarify their positions by claiming, “BTW, I am not a Dem. I am a Moderate/Independant/Etc.,” as if that would make any difference what-so-ever. Sorry kids, but when you vote Dem, support Dem, actively encourage DEm…that pretty much makes you Dem regardless what you claim or what might be on your voter registration card.
Where is the outrage from Americans here that JohnHolliday and others here are providing moral support to for the enemy by stating that they hopes terrorists attacks or natural disasters strike San Francisco?
My parents, my brother and many friends live in San Francisco and I take your comment not only as attack against our great nation but as a personal attack on my family and loved ones. Shame on you.
I do not know how to make it any clearer to those who post here that there is a vocal minority that is very well organized and has a firm hold on politics here in the Bay Area. I have tried in vain to relay this message in the hope that rather than attack everyone in San Francisco Bay Area and advocate their death via nuclear attack or natural disaster, you focused your arguements (many of which I happen to agree with) on the select few (Gavin Newsome, to name a few here) and support efforts to bring to organize the large conservative presence that exists here today in the San Francisco Bay Area.
.
It is time for Michelle Malkin to stand up and speak out against these extremists who advocate here on her blog for death to their fellow Americans. Lets counter the liberal agenda with reason, dedication and substance and with not with extremisim of our own.
Living in Northern California all my life, save for a few months here and there, I can tell you that there is no minority of Liberals in San Francisco that have a foot hold. It is a very large majority, there, in Berkeley, in Oakland, in Richmond, in San Mateo and pretty much the entire Bay Area. What there is minority wise, is the Conservatives that are constantly heckled, ridiculed, intimidated, and who constantly get their rights trampled on by those that have gone so far Left that they have become almost fascist and totalitarian in their over-zealousness. It is witnessed in any form from Davis West down 80, and even creeping into the Sacramento Area as the Liberals get tired of having to pay the over-priced housing that they themselves have increased with all their unrelenting taxes.
While I will not approve of any violent thought towards them, I also understand that these are people who are fed up with being the only ones to abide by the rules in these “debates”. People get tired of playing fair, only to be abused, threatened and treated like dirt by those who never use facts or fair play. What they are saying is that until the Bay Area finally feels the result of their backwards beliefs, they will continue down their path to destruction. They are saying that only after a natural disaster or a serious terrorist attack will, hopefully, these morons on the Left finally realize that the very people they speak out against and try to get rid of are needed and should be treated with all the respect they deserve.
Unlike them, however, I do not think that even after such events will they realize that. Instead, they will whine why nothing was done prior, not enough is being done and return immediately to their seditious, traitorous ways for the only thing they are consistent with is hypocrisy.
