MARINES ATTACKED IN BERKELEY, CA
City Calls Marines “Unwelcome Intruders”

Link to Entire Press Release from Move America Forward

Excerpt

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.

<SNIP>

The actions by the Berkeley City Council followed continuous protests by Code Pink and other anti-military organizations that vandalized and defaced the U.S. Marine Recruiting Center in September 2007. One of the two resolutions passed by the Berkeley City Council last night granted a parking spot in front of the Marine Recruiting Center to be used by anti-military activists to harass Marine recruiters. The anti-military activists would not need to apply for a sound permit for the next six months – allowing them free reign to disrupt the day-to-day operations by the Marines.

Unfreaking believeable!

A stuffy matron is with a new man in a top restaurant. The onion soup gets to her, and as the waiter is serving the main dishes she lets loose a bombastic fart. Trying to save face, she says to the waiter, "Sir! Please stop that immediately."

"Certainly, madame," replies the waiter with a bow. "Which way was it headed?"

It is disgraceful that in the birthplace of the Free Speech Movement, anti-military activists would attempt to silence the same military men and women who serve this country and give their lives to protect the free speech rights of all Americans, including these ungrateful and despicable people on the Berkeley City Council, said Melanie Morgan, Chairman of Move America Forward.

Amen sister. Can I say amen in here?

Quick question: Why aren't you as scathing of a source like "moveamericaforward.com" as you are of an equivalent leftist source?

So anytime someone left-leaning on this site posts a source that you deem "liberal" you go all out to show the bias and discredit it, but here it's "Amen sister." Very credible.

That website that posted the article is deifnitely coming from a political angle, but I can believe it. I haven't researched this particular topic, but this certainly sounds like something Berkely would do. Code Pink has a right to express their opinion, but I would hope that they would keep it civil and not vandalize. And if they did, I hope that they would be held accountable (which I doubt).

Wildo, great sig pic. St. Pierre is as natural an athlete as they come, and a great fighter. You train?
