I’ve lived in the Bay Area for 20 years. Been to Berkeley once. Beautiful campus, overrun with too many idiots that think free speech is a one-way street.

“Free speech” — to liberals — has always meant shouting down opposing viewpoints.

IIRC, Berkley was once consider the campus/home of free speech back in the 60’s and 70’s. Amazing how much has changed.

Haven’t they heard? They should embrace her. They could probably wrap their arms around her twice in a single hug. Olive Oyle.

Yep. There was a time Republicans were the party of wealth from business earnings. And "the working man" was a Democrat. Seems totally reversed today.

The phony diversity and tolerance on display aside, anti illegal aliens is NOT anti-immigration.

“Liberals are the littlest...” Bravissimo. Excellent use of adjectives.

I agree. Liberals are repulsive and not attractive.

UC Berkeley is a wonderful school with the brightest students in the country. The problem is that anarchists from Eugene Ore drive down to damage Berkeley streets and the fools on the Berkeley City Council are ignorant of how to use power to stop violence. One of my friends worked on the Berkeley City Council for one year and when I asked him what he thought of the Council, he said, “Wow. They are the dumbest people I have every met.” Sad how the bright Berkeley professors of politics are ignored by the City Council.

40 years ago, UC Berkeley was a beacon of free speech and open dialogue but today it is a hornets nest of bigotry, bitterness and close minded people. Some of the worst racism in the State of California goes on in the Bay area. Blacks are segregated, to Oakland, Richmond and Hunters point. Very few venture out from beyond those places. And don’t get me started on the laws and the place there.
