More Lefty "Tolerance" in City Government

San Francisco doesn't want the historic battleship Iowa moored nearby:

Only six years ago, the city seemed ready to accept the Iowa as a tribute to its long national service and as a floating tourist attraction. Even anti-war congresswoman Lynn Woolsey was ready to welcome the "Big Stick:" "Unless there is some unforeseen circumstance... San Francisco will soon have a new museum dedicated to those who served in our Navy."

So what caused the shift in opinion? Could it be that the "unforeseen circumstance" is that the military has actually been called to the purpose for which it exists?

It is absurd to say that you can support our soldiers but not the military they make up; that you can support the troops even if you don't support the mission. Soldiers fight wars and battles, voluntarily. And they do it for all of us, without regard to political affiliation.

In a city celebrated for its tolerance, you'd think that a portion of compassion might be summoned up for those who love and respect the heritage of this country and most importantly, for those who defend it.

Funny, I thought San Franciscans loved seeing men dressed as sailors wandering about.
