Berkeley Code Pink Out-Gunned By Move America Forward Pro-Troop Supporters

February 12, 2008 - Berkeley, CA - PipeLinenews.org - As the nine member Berkeley City Council prepared to decide the fate of the city’s Marine Corp Recruiting Center, Move America Forward - the nation’s largest grassroots pro-troop organization - took to the streets, confronting a rag-tag group of counter culture lefties, including members of Code Pink, a group much in favor with California Democrat legislators.

Starting at 5am conservatives streamed into the notoriously radical city of 100,000, carrying the dual themed but unified message of support for both our military as well as the war against Islamic terror.

As we wrote during the last confrontation between these clashing ideologies, “Sick and tired of Code Pink's constant harassment of the Marine recruiting center on Berkeley's Shattuck Avenue, today Move America Forward landed on the beaches and simply overwhelmed the Pink Panty Waists. The "Progressives" aka Commies, are not only unaccustomed to being challenged on their home turf, they come unglued when confronted by superior numbers. We felt, and tremendously enjoyed their pain."

The basis of today’s exercise in free speech is the decision by the city council to revisit its earlier [January 29] resolution excoriating [6-3 vote] the Marine recruiting center calling it an "uninvited and unwelcome intruders."

That vote has since become the rallying cry among conservatives who are tired of policy being set by tiny communities of aging hippies, goofy Marxists and blame America firsters. The vote also has come to the attention of legislators at the state and national level who have introduced measures to deny Berkeley government funding if it persists in its war of attrition against the Marines.

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.

LOL! Sometimes when I get a nasty old codger for a patient (I am a nurse.), I tell him this. They smile and chill out and I never get anymore guff from them.

Semper Fi!

How’s the weather in Wisconsin, btw? I was born and raised in Kenosha Co., Dad was born and raised around Shawano, WI. Still go back every once in a while for visits to cousins, etc. They make the best cheese curds there.

What a difference the gift of a Susie Homemaker E-Z Bake Oven would have made in the early lives of these poor mis-guided women...

It’s terrible right now. Rain...icy sleet...and now another 6”-10” of heavy snow on top of the record-breaking 80+ inches we’ve already had this winter. I’m soooooooo ready for Spring!

But you’re right...our cheese rocks! :)

Keep up the protest! The city is already complaining about the police overtime costs. You do need to boycot the city or merchants, just keep protesting and the overtime bill will do what you want.Raise some hell and make some noise and the taxpayers and merchants will come to your defense, because they are the ones being hosed by the city council.
