Berkeley Bashing Our Troops

by Jamie Colby

UPDATE: SENATOR JIM DEMINT WILL BE ON OUR SHOW THIS SATURDAY BETWEEN NOON AND 2PM EASTERN. POST YOUR COMMENTS AND I WILL READ AS MANY AS I CAN ON THE SHOW. 

Ralph wrote The Colby Files “how about a blog about Berkeley trying to boot the troops”. To the point, some folks in Berkeley California and the City Council there say it’s no place to recruit. Here’s just the latest on this story from foxnews.com:

Friday , February 01, 2008

WASHINGTON — 

U.S. Sen. Jim DeMint, R-S.C., says the City of Berkeley, Calif., no longer deserves federal money.

DeMint was angered after learning that the Berkeley City Council voted this week to tell the U.S. Marine Corps to remove its recruiting station from the city’s downtown.

“This is a slap in the face to all brave service men and women and their families,” DeMint said in a prepared statement. “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,” he added.

In the meantime, a senior Marine official tells FOX News that the Marine office in Berkeley isn’t going anywhere.

I just recieved this in email from Move America Forward.

I believe Fox has to be excerpted, so go to the link to read the rest.

Every branch of the service ought to make Berkeley their sanctuary city for recruitment. Give an extra “patriot” bonus to all recruits who sign up and take the oath of enlistment there.

This just came as an email from MAF as is mentioned above.

The link is about a story Feb 1, but Jamie Colby is staying on this travesty in Berkeley.

Nice to have Jamie Colby keeping up with this!

I am so glad SOMEONE in the media is bothering to report about this-—and even try to do something about it.

Every time I hear this story, I just have to wonder what is going to happen when California suffers the “big one” and the military just doesn’t show up?

Here’s hoping Berkley wises up before then. (On second thought, though, I don’t know what, in the history of the world, would make me think they have the capacity to “wise up” under any circumstances.)

Thanks for the comments and the bumps.

Here’s the video of the ACTUAL council meeting and the scum that testified and made the decision = watch for yourself

The petition

We, the undersigned condemn the Berkeley City Council’s treasonous attack on US Marine Recruiters stationed in their city. We ask that Congress cut off funds from any and all municipal entity within the confines of the city of Berkeley, California, until such time as the city council withdraws it’s action.

The City Council has voted to tell the Marines their downtown recruiting station is not welcome and “if recruiters choose to stay, they do so as uninvited and unwelcome guests.”

The measure passed last week by a vote of 8-1.

The council also voted to explore enforcing a city anti-discrimination law, focusing on the military’s “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy.

In a separate item, the council voted, also 8-1, to give the Marxist protest group Code Pink a parking space in front of the recruiting office once a week for six months and a free sound permit for protesting once a week.
