Cannibalism

Proving once again that liberals eat their own we travel to that city of tolerance and gaydom on the bay San Francisco. You may recall the Scott McKenzie song about wearing flowers in your hair, which was an anthem for the times and the unofficial anthem of the Monterey Pop Festival during the Summer of Love in 1967. The opening line goes something like this, “If you’re going to San Francisco, be sure to wear some duct tape on your lips...”

In this city, that Grace Slick said was built on rock and roll, well not really, but I like her. They have these people things that they call supervisors. In normal towns these dip wads are called city council members or freeloaders, but in San Francisco, they call them supervisors because they are superior to the rest of us. In this haven of free speech, you cannot criticize a supervisor unless you want to deal with them trying to get you fired for speaking freely. Anyway, stop trying to figure this out, it makes perfect sense in San Francisco.

A week or two ago a radio talk-show host by the name of Pete Wilson made some comments about a child born to Supervisor Bevan Dufty, who is gay, and Rebecca Goldfader, who is a lesbian (don’t get me started). As Wilson put it rather clearly, a baby is “not an experiment. It is not an opportunity to see how far you can carry your views on parenting, alternative lifestyles, or diversity in family structures.” Hmmm, whatever was he talking about? He wasn’t done, he also said, “Look around you, folks. You think the high divorce rate in this country has been, generally speaking, good for kids. So, why not start out divorced? See if that'll work.” Can you feel the dead silence that oozed across San Francisco in about three nano-seconds?

Now before you think that Wilson is a right wing conservative Christian nut job that is forever putting down homosexuals think again. He supports same-sex marriage and gay parenting. He is against the war in Iraq and isn’t what one would call a traditional conservative or a libertarian by any perverted stretch of the imagination. He is as liberal as the rest of the fruit flies that inhabit that dock on the bay. Well it doesn't matter, doesn’t matter one bit. Liberals will eat their own and ask for a generous helping of seconds. Supervisors Tom Ammiano, Chris Daly, Ross Mirkarimi, and Aaron Peskin held a press conference (surprise) at which they called Wilson “homophobic” and demanded that he resign his job.

Mr. Dufty the husband/father/guy/daddy/gay wrote in an e-mail to Wilson. I do not want you to “resign or lose your position over this incident.” A shell shocked Wilson marveled that Dufty “showed more class than anyone else in this.” It is highly unlikely that Duffy or any of the superiors, I mean supervisors, even knows what class is unless it is a place to distribute condoms, but we can talk about class in another post.

Wilson has of course apologized, well sort of, not for his misgivings about parenting and children, but for using “inappropriate” and overly personal language. Imagine his surprise when the liberal way of apologizing by speaking out of both sides of your mouth hasn’t really worked this time. You remember John the traitor Kerry apologizing recently to “people that may have misunderstood this comments.” No John Boy we did not.

You see the double jobber the hut Wilson also anchors ABC7 TV news in San Francisco. California Assemblyman Mark Leno did not call on Wilson to resign and now says, because Wilson has apologized, it is time to move on. Still he continued, whether “it is inappropriate for Wilson to be wearing those two hats.” As opposed to two faces like Leno one would imagine, that Wilson couldn’t be a “loose cannon” on the radio and “an impartial anchorman.”

Then again, no one complained about the two hats before. Wilson has opposed the war in Iraq, and they weren't wringing their hands then about his credibility. I figure this is okay since every other TV talking head on ABC is a left wing kook so what is one more.

Judith Appel, executive director of the alternative-family Our Family Coalition, attended the anti-Wilson event as it provided an “opportunity” to highlight alternative families with “adults who love their children.” Organizations like NAMBLA, however, she was silent on whether Wilson should lose his job. Doesn’t make your heart warm to see an anti-rally held for a liberal?

Deliberately ignoring Wilson's point, Superior Ammiano accused the talk-show host of trying to "dehumanize a week-old baby.” He declared that Wilson's "manhood is threatened.” Noting that he would never criticize Wilson's offspring, Ammiano added, "I would never ask how much grunting and sweating there was -- and God knows it probably it didn't last very long -- at that kid's conception.” Can you feel the love!! Would you like some fine BBQ sauce with that neck bone, good for sucking!!

Leno, who like Ammiano is gay, said, "I'm not going to criticize those supervisors.” As he sees it, San Francisco and gays are "the aggrieved party. We're the ones who are getting beaten up.” Ammiano accused Wilson of "abuse of privilege," and not to be outdone Superior Peskin cited "abuses" of power."

Except in this case, gays and San Francisco superiors are in power, and they're trying to get a man fired for expressing views they don't like. They clearly don't appreciate the beauty of free speech: When you don't like what someone says, you talk back. You don't silence dissenters, unless you are afraid what they say is true.

If Superior Ammiano wanted to send a message, that when the gay lobby has power, straight Americans will enjoy less freedom, he could not have done a better job. Hush children, I think I can hear Nancy Pelosi singing right now.

If you are going to San Francisco,
Be sure to wear some duct tape on your lips
If you are going to San Francisco,
You're gonna meet some intolerant people there

For those who come to San Francisco,
Summertime will be a firing-in there
In the streets of San Francisco
Gentle people with duct tape on their lips

All across the nation,
Such a strange vibrator
People in motion
There's a whole generation
With a new explanation
People intolerant, people intolerant

For those who come to San Francisco,
Be sure to wear some duct tape on your lips
If you come to San Francisco,
Summertime will be a firing-in there

If you come to San Francisco,
Summertime will be a firing-in there
