Being from Stockton, California, I am still angry that my city did not follow through with its plan to bring the USS Iowa (BB-61) to its port. And it makes me even angrier that there were a few idiots within my city who derided the idea, one female (I won't call her a lady because she isn't deserving of the honor) calling the USS Iowa a "Weapon of [Mass] Destruction" and that not having it in our port was a commendable gesture by the Stockton City Board of Supervisors. For those (including this misguided bitch) who sees this fine ship as a mere 'weapon of mass destruction', it was these fine battleships of this class that helped bring about the end of World War II and helped secure the very freedom you now are so seemingly ungrateful for (much like the anti-military ingrates on the San Francisco Board of Supervisors) who voted down the idea of having the USS Iowa as a museum (unless it was done their way). Given that, the USS Iowa provided shell bombardment in the Marshall Islands and engaged the Imperial Japanese Navy in the Battle of the Philippine Sea under Vice Admiral Willis Lee, earning nine battle stars.

In any case, I hope the port (likely Mare Island in Vallejo) which is fortunate enough to get it as a museum to honor the men who served in her knows what special kind of ship it is getting in USS Iowa- unlike the ungrateful, degenerates (much like that fat, obnoxious pig named Rosie O'[ink] Donnell) in San Francisco and Stockton who succeeded in their gesture of disrespecting our proud past and showing their ungratefulness in refusing this great ship to dock in their port (an honor bestowed to a select few ports, by the way), and thereby dismissing the great sacrifices of those who faithfully served their nation.

Sorry, useless ingrates! Sheesh!
