a Letter to the Mayor!

Dear Mayor Bates,

In that you and your city have chosen to gravely insult the brave men and women, who have indeed bought you that right with their blood, I am informing you that my company will no longer do business with any of our current suppliers located in the Berkeley, California metro area.

In that my company is in international resort real estate development, and do business with and am associated with, developers and investors worldwide, I am informing all of my contacts, associates and patrons that we will no longer do any business of any sort with anyone living in the Berkeley area.

In that we/MDG Resorts are currently building a state of the art mega-yacht marina, all of the suppliers of Marina equipment, all owners of Yachts , all suppliers of Yacht materials & supplies, all yacht brokers and all tangential yacht business purveyors will likewise be informed that we will not do any business whatsoever with anyone from the Berkeley area.

Likewise all suppliers of building materials, both interior and exterior, currently associated with any of our several resort developments (Brisamar 300+ villas and 200+ condos: Porto Hussong, www.portohussong.com

500+ condos, 180 slip mega-yacht marina) both of which I might add have international recognition by virtue of glowing reports in Robb Report, Wall Street Journal, Yacht World, Forbes.

I will likewise inform all of our investors, most of whom are very wealthy yacht owners, casino owners, high net worth international businessmen, of our decision to essentially boycott all products and providers located in, or associated with in any way whatsoever, Berkeley, Ca.

Trust me when I say that having been in the real estate development business for over 35 years, our list of contacts and associates is long and very, very impressive. We, and I personally, are going to recommend that they ALL along with us boycott your city, its purveyors, suppliers, and businesses and CHARITIES of every kind.

You have every right to choose to take the obnoxious anti-military stance you have taken, and as stated, that right was bought for you with the blood of better men than you.

I too have every right to do all that I can to insure that your city suffers consequences arising from that obnoxious, sickening stance.

Cordially,

Brian G Dennard

Principal

Director

Meridian Development Group, LLC

The Marines should tell the Berklidiots that if the police won’t enforce the law and keep the trespassers from blocking their entrances, the US Marine Military Police will enforce the law for them and arrest any trespassers and hold them at Gitmo for trial and sentencing.

At the core of liberalism is the spoiled child – miserable, as all spoiled children are, unsatisfied, demanding, ill-disciplined, despotic, and useless. Liberalism is a philosophy of sniveling brats.

LOL wouldn’t it be a hoot if while these dingbats were declaring victory for “no-show” recruiters, it turned out they didn’t go to the office because they were addressing an assembly at the high school or something similar?

The Marines paid to defend Berkely.

The rest of the country they do for free.

While there is still the possibility of recruiters showing up later in the day, World Can't Wait organizer Giovanni Jackson was already putting the morning's effort in the win column.

Presumably they realize they aren't going to actually win this, so they will try to spin a victory however they can.

Pathetic.

I’ll bet that if Operation Rescue was in Berkeley chaining themselves to an abortion clinic, the mayor would certainly call out the law and have these people arrested. Probably break a few of their arms in the process as well. (This happened in L.A. back in the late 80’s).

"If this is all it takes to shut down the Marine recruiting center, we've succeeded," said Oakland resident Sabrina Martin of World Can't Wait, which organized the protest.

Wow... some of the folks that signed that particular endorsement.... this is for all the people who were discussing the "gun aboard the space station" yesterday.....

These clowns don’t deserve to be on the same soil that the Marines protect.

It makes me sick that so many decent people around the world would kill to be a US citizen and these idiots throw it away.

Don’t they realize that their right to protest is BECAUSE of the military?

“”We’re declaring victory if they don’t show up, and it looks like they haven’t,” Jackson said.”

(what he didn’t say)

Besides, it’s Friday. If we call it a win, then we get the weekend free. Nothing interferes with our weekends.

Berkeley protesters declare early victory over Marines?

Didn’t the Japanese do the same thing in Guadalcanal and Tarawa in ‘43?

Well, it might just be a training holiday, like it was here for our troops!

Point #1: The US Marines don't whup up on a bunch of old hags no matter how misguided or foolish.

Point #2: The US Marines defend ALL of American, every inch of it, and every American, all the time, 24/7, 356 days a year, from anyone, any time under any circumstances. Count on that.

Point 3: Semper Fidelis isn't conditional, its an absolute.

"We're declaring victory if they don't show up, and it looks like they haven't,"

The left is gloating...The economic battle to bring Berkeley to it's knees is on.
