Just how screwd up is San Francisco?

This from Neal Boortz' "show notes" this morning:

JUST HOW SCREWED UP IS SAN FRANCISCO?

There was a rally in San Francisco over the weekend. It wasn't a rally to protest the permanent berthing of decommissioned U.S. Iowa, a battleship that fought for our country in World War II, Vietnam and the Persian Gulf War. It wasn't a rally in support of San Francisco's new law that absolutely bans the private ownership of firearms. It wasn't a rally in support of gay rights, or of the right of San Francisco's homeless population to urinate and defecate on the city sidewalks. Those issues are all pretty much settled. This was a rally of evangelical Christian teenagers. The rally was called the "Battle Cry for a Generation" and was attended by 25,000 teens. The rally was staged to counter a popular culture that the rally organizers say "glamorizes violence and sex." There were religious speakers and Christian rock bands. There was no sex, no violence, no foul language, no destruction of private property. And all of this made one San Francisco Assemblyman, Mark Leno, very, very mad indeed. Leno said that the rally amounted to "a fascist mega-pep rally." Well, Leno is a Democrat (as if I needed to tell you) so there you go with the requisite association of anything deemed to be conservative, like religion, with Adolf Hitler. Leno wasn't through. He also said of these Christian teenagers: "They're loud, they're obnoxious, they're disgusting, and they should get out of San Francisco."

Well ... this is one of those points where I really don't need to say any more.
