But, stop the whining, will ya? There's no whining in business. And if you have the backbone to stand up and loudly proclaim that you hate our soldiers, well then stop being wimps and say so. On the other hand, if you want to be true, patriotic Americans, also stand up for that and force your politicians to do what YOU want them to do.

Right on. Right on.

Has anyone compiled a list of products that are made in Berkley CA?

It would be great to post a list so people could avoid buying them without having to check the fine print on everything.

Nothing would make me happier than seeing both these cities go bankrupt.

The problem that these businesses don’t address is that the business owners have been allowing this to go on for years by casting their votes for these elected officials.

When they start standing up and voting for change in Berkely, maybe someone might listen to them.

These same businesses undoubtedly gave political contributions to the subject leftwing wackos. Standard procedure for all vested interests is to comntribute [give tribute] to the incumbent.

On the average, the intelligent voting preference for good govrernment is to vote againt incumbents regardless if they are RINOs or leftwing wackjobs.

Don't Blame Us For Berkeley/Toledo Attacks Against Marines Say Businesses

When you truck with the anti-American Left, don't be surprised when you crash with them too.

“Mayor Finkbeiner refused to allow the Marines to exit a bus in his city when they arrived to start planned upon exercises...”

Sounds like false imprisonment and a violation of their Constitutional rights to me.

The first step towards holding voters responsible is a little bit of sunshine. Voters should not have to cower behind a sheet like a Klans Man. We need to remember that we did not always have a secret ballot in this country. Every vote should be public record. Voters should be accountable for their decisions and set the example for those elected.

if a city council does something stupid, it is absolutely the fault of the people who voted them into power.

Sorry, businesses, but you better keep this in mind the next time those pols come to you for a campaign contribution. And you better let your employees know that layoffs are just around the corner if the politicians they elect keep it up.

...why shouldn't we hold voters accountable for what their politicians do?

Indeed, if you run a business and don't support the clowns in your venue, be it state, city or hamlet, either move, or start selling to customers who support your clowns. This seems like such an obvious solution.
