San Francisco Values

San Francisco Values is my answer to the current GOP leadership rhetoric linking San Francisco Values as a scare tactic to stop voters from opposing Republicans. Espoused here by Bill O'Reilly, I take this opportunity to show another side of the discussion.

I'd like to point out that "San Francisco Values" identifies the entire San Francisco Bay Area. With a population of over 7,065,000, the area - if it were a state - would rank #13 in overall population. The City of San Francisco alone would rank #46! When you attempt to insult us by your feeble comparisons, remember just how many you insult!

First they badmouth Massachusetts and call it Taxachusetts. They ridicule Vermont for being pro-gay. They rant about how much they hate big cities. Then they join in chorus and espouse hatred of San Francisco, one of the greatest cities in the world.

Maybe the reason the GOP is losing so poorly is because they keep bashing everyone on the electorate they don't like. Who will be left to ridicule?

"I highly doubt they will ever fully assimulate even if they became citizens"

Why not. America is made up of assimilated immigrants. English, Germans, Fench and yes even Spanish.

I don't agree with people on the right who say that San Francisco is wrong on everything; I support the idea of treating gays equally. However, the fact that it's legal for people to be nude in public in San Francisco says a lot. (Even though it's San Francisco, I was surprised to find out that nudity isn't banned.)

@Edgehead10075 Also, last thing. MLK said that he new he was braking the Law and that he would probably go to jail, but that justice was on his side. So I'm not too upset with the marriage law breaking thing, it seems a lot of ppl just werent ready. I mean, a lot of ppl weren't ready to see a black president, and I'm sure a lot of people still aren't ready for a lot of things that are really OK.

@Edgehead10075 Because it makes me wonder what will be next, no ear piercing until they're also 18? I was pierced when I was a couple of months, it was a way to show a was female I suppose, since most babies look the same. As a San Franciscan I'd probably... Man. I'll think about it. Thanks for making me think.

@Edgehead10075 I'm not sure about that one. In some african traditions it's ok to disfigure female baby genitelia. Some women accept it and wish it for their daughters, but is it ok for the babies? This example is too extreme to be compared to being circumcised, I know. But I hope you see the point? I have a friend who converted to islam and got circumcised when he was 18+. I mean, it's something that CAN wait. Its a hard question, it reallly is.

[Edgehead10075]

Do you have any comments about the ballot referendum that will ban the circumcision of males younger than 18? This idea scares me. I'm actually glad that I got circumcised as a baby, and I don't think this is any of the government's business.

[Edgehead10075]

BTW, I'm not anti-gay, and I don't even mind that S.F. has universal healthcare and a high minimum wage, although it might be causing businesses to leave the city. Not everything that S.F. does is bad, but not everything they do is good either.

[Edgehead10075]

Now we have some self righteous people who want to ban circumcising non-adult males, and they've gotten that referendum on the ballot. Who knows? It could pass, and it's sad if it does because it's really nobody's business. (I thought that liberals were for privacy.) It seems like San Francisco is capable of doing anything. They could ban spanking next. S.F. seems to be the place where the looney left test all of their ideas before foisting them on the entire nation.

[Edgehead10075]

There are strange things about San Francisco, though. They banned Happy Meal toys. They banned plastic bags at grocery stores. I think it has to do with the fact that people on the far left tend to enact self righteous laws. Didn't they get rid of JROTC, too, because of anti-military sentiment? There's a supervisor named Sandoval who says that America shouldn't have a military. Let's not forget that the voters also passed a handgun ban that was later struck down.

[Edgehead10075]

I have nothing against gays, but there is a minority of gays that give the rest of the community a bad name by appearing nude in public during gay pride celebrations. Those people should be arrested for indecency. I have the utmost respect for the majority of gays who respect our laws.

[Edgehead10075]

I don't disagree with you, but I think that it's sometimes better to work within the law. One could argue that what Newsom did in '04 cost Kerry the presidential election that year.
