"...It seems like there is a lot of support for the Blue Angels every year despite the obvious risk of flying over the city,” Avalos said..."

Imagine that. :rolleyes:

Also, said Mar, the spectacle “goes against the values of peace that San Francisco stands for. ... They promote militarism, and I don’t think a city like ours should be promoting that.”

wth?

ROFLMAO! the GD socks-n-sandals-socialist liberals are truly clueless. Is it any wonder that Trump has so many supporters. People with any common sense at all are willing to put an arsewhole in the Whitehouse, just to insure that that kind of DumA$$3ry doesn't get enough votes to take over the country.

Hey there now...don't start lumping all us Californians into one liberal bucket of socks and sandals dumbA$$ery.

I live in Santa Cruz where it is much more...uhhhh, crap, never mind...at least here they are all too stoned to be dangerous.

Gotta love SF stupidity.

Apparently nostalgic for Haight-Ashbury circa summer 1967...

I think the Blue Angels were flying the Grumman F11F that summer? Not sure if they strafed SF, but if not they should have.

If I could go back to those days I'd probably try to get my hands on one of these (and avoid SF under all circumstances):

"Avalos conceded, however, that his resolution probably wouldn’t pass the board. In 2007, as a staffer for then-Supervisor Chris Daly, he crafted a similar resolution for his boss after a fatal Blue Angels crash at an air show in South Carolina. The resolution failed to make it out of committee."

There are headline-grabbing, attention seeking politicians everywhere. But let's not interrupt a good rant.

Nauga,

LOL! Didn't say anything about Californians. Just Socks-n-Sandals-Socialists. And, CA hasn't even come close to cornering the market on those. Seattle is a vast reservoir of little Che Guevaras surrounded by the rest of the very conservative Washington state citizenry.

Sounds about right for that city, filled with a bunch of clueless lefty "delta bravos" (Yeah, just stole that haha). I could get real political real quick but I won't. Long story short, pretty sure the United States Navy gives zero "Foxtrots" about what this oxygen thief has to say.
 
Since the Blue Angels crash happened on takeoff, he should push to ban ALL takeoffs from SFO...for the safety of the children and all.

That's the obvious course of action, and any airplanes that are blue, and Angels in general, because they are offensive to some people, and some people are sensitive, and we wouldn't want anyone to feel sad outside of their "safe zone" if they saw angels.

Holy Crap...I mean...Crap...Blue "ANGELS"??????...SEPARATION OF CHURH AND STATE! the Navy is promoting CHRISTIANITY!...now it is about the safety AND indoctrination of our children!


...which reminds me, I haven't been over to PilotSpin in a while.
 
He's clearly attended media classes by professor Senator Chuck Schumer... get yourself in the news cycle by being outraged by a crisis that you invented (but that is vaguely based in actual historical events).
 
RE: Thread title

I really don't think there is a knee involved in this particular reaction.

Still very illustrative of the Lunatic Left.

Unfortunately, those liberal idiots extend beyond just Seattle. We've got plenty of them in Olympia, too. It's amazing how stupid some people can be.
 
Abe Lincoln seems to have taken care of the possibility of secession. How about expulsion?

Actually, I really liked SF when I was stationed there in the 60s.

It is still a fun place to visit but I've been told that once Ft. Ord closed, balance was lost.....
 
Thats what Germany and Italy did. The fascists and nazis came to power legally to counter the communists and homosexuals. Then Hitler and Mousilini started murdering their political enemies "for the good of mother country". Ultra nationalism, blame it on the Jews, blame it on the foreigners. Then the dictators dissolved the vestige of democracy and made themselves dictators for life. Twenty million people lost their lives before that got straightened out. Dont let that happen in the US. Some think there are parallels go what is happening here now. Blame the Mexicans, blame the Moslems, blame women. Everything is terrible.

Blame them for what? The USA, by almost ANY measure is the wealthiest country in the world! Being poor in USA means you cant own a CAR. In most countries being poor means you cant buy food!

Few parallels. The only Muslims that are a concern are those who wish to pose an existential threat. The migration issue is simply about sorting the good from the bad. As for Mexicans, it's not about their nationality or heritage, it's about controlling ones own borders. Without that you don't have a country. You're just inhabitants of land.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hunger_in_the_United_States

"Research from the Food Safety and Inspection Service found that 14.9% of American households were food insecure during 2011, with 5.7% suffering from very low food security. Journalists and charity workers have reported further increased demand for emergency food aid during 2012 and 2013."
 
I've been on the Rio Grande, kayaked it, between Texas and Mexico. You can't put a wall in the middle of a river! And if they put it back from the river, they are giving the entire river to Mexico because the Mexicans will come right up to the wall. The idea is ludicrous. What is NOT ludicrous is voters are buying it, hook, line and sinker.

Everyone agrees we have a problem with illegal immigration. The problem is caused because illegals are being given JOBS. Stop giving them jobs and you will stop the problem. No wall will keep them out. Someone I know hired a painter (an American citizen) but he had a Guatamalan working for him (illegally here). Want to know how he got here? He bought a ticket and CAME ON AN AIRLINER! Then an American Citizen GAVE HIM A JOB!

Walking through Walmart you sure don't see many famished people.
 
Look at the size of the countries richer per capita (no country is richer in total) than the US. Almost all of them are oil rich. Norway is what , 5 million? They have North Sea oil. Qatar? The USA is the wealthiest country IN THE WORLD. The US has 1/4 of the worlds wealth and 1/20th of its people. There might be some people hungry in the US, but anyone can get food stamps if they need them, even people who don't need them get them! Find me even a single case of starvation in the US.

Never "got it" about Che - a psychotic mass muderer, with a penchant for torture and mutilation. . .but up to speed on narrow minded, intolreant, naive, self-promoting pols, plenty of those, not hard to figure. Left has as many (or more) than the right. . .
 
Tyrants come in all flavors, as near as I can tell.
