[Political Junkie Too]

The decision to be openly derisive of the US Military is disgusting, but so is O'Reilly's statement.

He was probably lumping this story in with the ban on handguns to say that SF doesn't want any kind of defense or involvement with weapons, people who use weapons, and people who teach the use of weapons. This city also drove the Navy fleet out of town but still pretends to have Fleet Week each year.

I think that what he was doing is making a point that SF, and the obsessively hate america society in which the citizens of SF live, want to SEPERATE themselves from not only Washington, and from the US, and from California.

I think he was saying "you don't want to be a part of America? you aren't" But, O'Reilly is a buffoon, an entertaining one, but still a buffoon. Yet frankly, I would listen to a passionate and honest idiot, than a dissembling genius unwilling to admit a moments ignorance.

We have Fleet Week every year because, with the Blue Angels air show, it is the second biggest draw to the waterfront. The first is July 4th. The business owners want it. That's why we have Fleet Week in SF.
