Nuke the whole place and get it over with.
Treason is the aiding and abetting of the enemy. Not expressing disagreement with the policy or actions of the central government.
Is it treason to protest the central governments treatment of civilians at Ruby Ridge and Waco? How about the bombing in Kosovo, which I protested every day of that fiasco? Do you think that just because the President is a Republican he is ALWAYS right?
(humor) "Perhaps ve should check your papers, VERRY carefully to make sure you are who you say you are, comrade." (/humor)
That being said, I'll also buy my goods and services elsewhere.
I prefer to deal with people who support my government's current efforts at self defence.
Boycott Summary
This is a reprint summery from several of my earlier posts. You dont have to be local to help Boycott Berkeley. Here are ideas that everyone can use Send em to your friends and post em on line. The boycott has to be more than just indignant conservatives. Every American should feel compelled to boycott em. Clearly, members of the Armed Forces (and the VFW, American Legion) Fireman, policemen and postal carriers in particular should be mobilized. Its OUR JOB to get the information to them!
Send the info below to 10 friends and post it on-line 10 times! With special thanks to
VRWC_minion, CCMAY and many others for their list of other Boycott targets! Type "Berkeley" in the search function to get other ideas cause I dont know HTML well enough to link their contributions. Drango
* Cliff Bars and Triple Rock Beer are headquartered in Berkeley and sold nationally. Dont buy em and ask your store manager NOT to stock the stuff. Here is a store locator for Cliff Bars www.clifbar.com/clifretail and their 800884-5254
* Associations and groups have conventions/lunch/dinners in Berkeley and a major source of tax dollars. Choke off the City Councils source of funds! Two of the largest hosts of these meetings are the Claremont Hotel and Spengers restaurant. Here is a list of meetings that will happen next year with a list of member/officer emails. Cut & paste them in to your email and send a *polite* request to them requesting they reconsider their meeting and to NOT spend any money in Berkeley.

However, everyone else is equally entitled to freedom of speech as well. I find it funny that these idiot liberals are learning the hard way that their actions have consequences.
And always remember, the real tragedy of Kent State was poor marksmanship (think about it)...
Your response to my post:
"I prefer to deal with people who support my government's current efforts at self defence."
My only question is simple:
How is bombing innocent civilians in Afghanistan making the American people safer? How is it defending 'our government'? The attacks were in New York and the attackers were killed along with the thousands of innoncent Americans. The Administration has not offered any more than 'we said so' as their evidence for going after OBL. Nor is there proof that OBL is in Afghanistan.
I may disagree with every word you say, but I WILL DEFEND TO THE DEATH YOUR RIGHT TO SAY IT!
A. Amendment 1
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press, or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
From your post:
'"Freedom of expression" is not unlimited.'
Which one of us misread this?
My only question is simple: How is bombing innocent civilians in Afghanistan making the American people safer?
I call this whining. The Taliban is out for the destruction of America and we damn well better retaliate; we are not targeting civilians.
How can we find out who is thinking about utilizing the facilities in the fair city of Berzerkley??????? I too have been looking around the web.
Here's what I found: There are 4 major Hotels in Berkeley with "CONVENTION"-type facilities.
Claremont Resort and Spa
FAX (510) 843-6239, (800) 551-7266
Radison Hotel Berkeley
FAX (510) 548-7944,(800) 333-3333
The Ramada Berkeley
FAX (510) 845-4397, (800) 954-7575
Shattuck Hotel of Berkeley
FAX (510) 644-2088, (800) BER-KELY
Getting future bookings to stop would not only make these members of the local "Chamber of Commerce" scream boody murder, but Conventions are also known for the extra $$$$$$ they bring into a community in "dining out" and other purchases the participants may make within the area.
Any disaffection businesses feel within the city will also affect Baba Lee!!!!!!!
