Pretty Blue Angels of Death [Anti-Military/Anti-USA BARF ALERT!]

San Francisco Chronicle ^ | 10/16/02 | Mark Morford

[MikalM]

Let us now happily observe the Navy's shiny and world-renowned Blue Angels precision flying team roaring over S.F. Bay, shaking the office windows and triggering a million car alarms and inducing coronaries in the elderly and panicking the easily panickable into thinking Armageddon is at hand at last, take me Jesus I am ready, oh wait, damn, it's just Fleet Week.

[blau993]

I guess he's worried they'll blow the Bay Area to bits.

One can only hope!

[Chancellor Palpatine]

Overuse of adjectives does not make this clown a good author.

[ArrogantBustard]

Long, long ago, in a galaxy far, far away...

Great Pix!!!
I live fairly close to Dyess AFB in Texas and see B1's all the time. Love to watch them fly, love the music (noise) they make. That friends, is the sound of Freedom....

[Huck]

I dunno. You may be right. But he sounded queer. Butt-clenching?

[ArrogantBustard]

I'm sorry, you said A-4s:

[dighton]

Come see Morford at his butt-clenching worst.

[ArrogantBustard]

I love the sound of afterburners in the morning...

[redhead]

"dropping billions in deadly ordnance every day for weeks and months, devastating towns, killing foreign women and swarthy Islamic babies and, oh yes, those pesky ragtag al-Qaida fighters who scattered to the hills months ago."

Sounds like the author took a few lessons in hyperbole while he was at (yellow)" journalism" school.

[ArrogantBustard]

I guess this is what has butt-clencher MoFo's panties in a knot:

[glock rocks]

After all, a little profound and heartfelt, unclouded American empathy could be just what this nation needs.

i'm feelin some, um,

uh, empathy here.

[Criminal Number 18F]

Gee,

I was with him until he started talking about "butt-clenching" something or other, and I noticed it's a San Francisco paper...

What do you think his beef with the military really is?

d.o.l.

Criminal Number 18F

[McCloud-Strife]

what? these machines of America's might also *gulp* kill?
I feel so lied to all these years, oh the humanity, the horror. I can't beleive this! These things didn't use to kill people during Clinton's term, Why George why?
/sarcasm

[76834]

Me too...
High performance aircraft engines, train horns and 18 wheelers.
All remind me that the country is well protected and still running.
Lets pray they never stop..

[HeadOn]

Ummmm - Isn't it the point of our military, and these MAGNIFICENT birds in particular, to SCARE THE LIVING DAYLIGHTS out of the enemy?

I think it's just a side benefit that they scare the liberals, too.....!

Oh, and Mr.(?)Morford, I'm sorry for those civilians, I really am, but until the world begins to realize that these guys (Saddam) have to be eliminated, innocent civilians will be victims, whether at the hands of an enemy military, or their own rulers.

[MarineDad]

Come see Morford at his butt-clenching worst.

Or not, and keep your lunch down.

"Drag a word processor through a bath house and there's no tellin' what you'll get..."

[johnb838]

See, what we NEED is a war. A big war. A big enough war to burn this god-awful weak-willed limp-wristedness that can't face problems out of our society.

Not that these fa... ahem nancy boys would ever go but at least maybe they'd SHUT UP.

Just like if we deliver Congress to the Pubbies the dims won't go away but they might realize they have to purge the hard-core communists.

[Recluse]

Thanks for the pictures!!!

[Carry_Okie]

Un-FReepin-believable, isn't it?

They get better every year.
