Evil in low places, Mayor of Berkeley California snub our Marines again.
Berkley California mayor Tom Bates, who claims that the “get out of town resolution” was not mean to “offend” the Marines, is speaking out both sides of his mouth again. As it turns out he saw is way clear to jumping right into the fray by protesting along with the anti-marine nutjobs that call themselves Code Pink. Was there a pink tutu involved there Mayor? Anyway..
On Jan. 29, the city council voted on & approved a resolution that included letters to the Marines telling them that their recruiting station is unwelcome in Berkeley. It also called for an investigation into whether the U.S. military’s “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy for homosexuals violated city anti-discrimination policy.
It never ceases to amaze me that “liberals” can call themselves “liberals”, & then brazenly & apparently completely without conscience, try to impede the free speech of anyone they don’t agree with. The 5th definition of the word Liberal in the Merriam Webster dictionary is: broad-minded; especially : not bound by authoritarianism, orthodoxy, or traditional forms.
Yet the Berkley City Council kooks have called citizens to “impede the progress” of Marines’ recruiting efforts in their City of Jerkeley.. Err.. ummm Berkeley..
Without further ado, here’s the self damning words of the Mayor & the Berkeley city council themselves:
One of the people on this tape (below) even suggests NOT giving the “opposing side” the same opportunities to counter protest.
Absolutely disgusting human beings, who have squandered the freedom that MARINES fought for. They are the spoiled children of true Freedom & Democracy, for which even some of their own forefathers shed their blood.
For their words & actions, they will now pay the price, & find out out that “Free Speech” cuts both ways, when it is used against a righteous cause, because the righteous have just as much freedom to make their lives miserable as they do ours. That’s what we will do, until they show due respect to those who defend their rights. I’m telling you people, use your heads here. If they are allowed to destroy our military’s freedoms, there will be nobody to save you when they come for your freedoms too. It’s time to write your representatives, & remove any federal funding that this city gets. You can go to their website & e-mail them these days & it doesn’t take much effort.
