SHAMEFUL:  Berkeley City Council Attacks Marines!
Move America Forward
January 30, 2008 – FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

SAN FRANCISCO – The City of Berkeley, California has passed two resolutions attacking the United States Marine Corps, calling the Marines, “uninvited and unwelcome intruders in the city.”

The Berkeley City Council voted to condemn the Marines on Tuesday night (January 29th) as part of a campaign by anti-war activists to shut down a U.S. Marine Recruiting Center located in the city of Berkeley.

The votes by the Berkeley City Council were immediately condemned by Move America Forward (website: www.MoveAmericaForward.org), the nation’s largest grassroots pro-troop organization.

More stupidity from Berserkley. The military will not help Berkeley if they get invaded.

Couldn't agree with you more about "Berserkley."

But should the Bay Area be invaded, the military will do what it is ordered -- up to and including defending the very pukes who condemned the Marine Corps.

Must be more of that support for the troops the left talks about all the time.  :whatever:

Opposing RECRUITERS for the marines is NOT the same thing as opposing the MARINES. Anyone claiming it is the same thing is a LIAR!

They also gave Code Pink a reserved parking spot in front of the recruiters and also they don't have to apply for any permits for 6 months.

How much you want to bet they're backing down after this one goes through:

    DeMint to Berkeley: Support Our Marines or Lose Federal Funds

    Washington, D.C. – Today, U.S. Senator Jim DeMint (R-South Carolina) released the following statement in response to the decision by the City Council of Berkeley, California to evict the U.S. Marine Corps Recruiting Station from the city.

    “This is a slap in the face to all brave service men and women and their families. The First Amendment gives the City of Berkeley the right to be idiotic, but from now on they should do it with their own money. If the city can’t show respect for the Marines that have fought, bled and died for their freedom, Berkeley should not be receiving special taxpayer funded handouts. I am currently drafting legislation to ensure that American taxpayers aren’t forced to pay for this insult by rescinding all of the earmarks for Berkeley in the Omnibus Appropriations bill, and to transfer the funds to the Marine Corps.”

At least there are some Republicans with the cajones to stand up to these idiots...

One is a story, the other is a "Hey, look how stupid the DUmbasses are today" thread.

Oh, she's a real gem alright.  Her comments get even better down the road.  Ask scoobie and formerlurker about her.  They've both had experience with her.

I heard on Fox this morning that some congressman has introduced legislation today to strip all federal funding from the city of Berkley.....seems as though they receive about 2-million from Washington......

About damn time!!

Heard on the radio this morning that now the loons in Berkeley are trying to pass a zoning ordnance that would put recruiters in the same category as porn shops.  This is why I never get too defensive when outsiders slam CA; shitbirds like this tend to take the wind out of our sails as far as a defensive posture goes  :banghead: :banghead:.  You'll have to take my word for the fact that there are some normal people that live out here.

Well....we left in 1988, and never looked back......it is really sad, because it was a great place before it seemed to start to rot internally....
