Fleet Week should be on the ballet in SF

I have strong feelings about the Blue Angels' annual visit. I do not like it.

I find it to be a loud, violating display of military power that goes against what I stand for.

During last year's Fleet Week, my students charged to our classroom's rattling windows at the first omniscient roar. With mouths gaping and eyes wide, they gazed out in hopes of seeing "The Angels" shoot overhead. We happened to be talking in class about our society's epidemic of violence and its many mediums of proliferation.

I am wondering it will look prettier if the Air Force guys (or other branches) doing the ballet instead.

Rich, quite acting like a little beatch.
Seeing and hearing an american jet screaming over at 600mph send chills down my spine and makes me proud to be an American.

In addition to the bear driving the little car? (Because we can’t lose that)

Just another fag lib talking about how fighter jets causes him to lose his vagina.

‘ballet’.

And this ‘author’ claims to be a TEACHER.

Uh...that was my screw-up. We can blame it on the author, tho.

I was sitting in a seminar on the Holocaust at the University of San Francisco, completely mesmerized by the personal testimony of William Lowenberg, a Holocaust survivor now recently deceased. As he closed his incredible presentation, reminding us of how important it is to investigate and teach about the past, the Blue Angels flew over Lone Mountain, interrupting with their own thunderous narrative. I wondered what associations such sounds from the sky had in Lowenberg's mind. I could not fathom the gravity."

I expect that Mr. Lowenberg would associate those sounds with the American and allied troops that liberated the concentration camps at the end of WW2.
(Apparently Mr. Hill does not teach history.)

I told my buddies not to wear tutus on liberty, especially in San Francisco, but would they listen?

Our freedoms and prosperity were earned by the blood of many Americans. I bet this moron forgot to teach the students that fact as well. This anti-military moron needs to be fired for teaching the crap they believe in.
Teachers should teach facts, not ideologies that are not part of our history. Since we ended up with the socialist (American bastard child form Kenya) in the white house the socialist and communist half-minded morons think they can push their foreign propaganda in our schools. There is a huge change coming when adults again run this country.

Well, then, just pack your Gucci bags and get your little Jessie ass out of our country, then. Go someplace where the cheese-eating surrender monkeys and the ragheaded goat-rapists share your puling, scumbagginous detestation of the country that's given you every freedom you could imagine.

Go on, punk. Get out of Dodge. Go polish chrome-plated doorknobs for some bangled-and-befeathered Asiatic rump-riding pooh-bah and his limpwristed spawnthings. Just leave.

Luckily, you can bomb the poop out of it.

Dear teacher, your indocrination class is boring, military planes making lots of noise aren't. Kids know this instintively.

Live with it, poofter.

No, silly person, science is now man made global warming.
