Move America Forward Meets Berkeley Council, Gets Treated Like Shit
Just got an email from our friend Melanie Morgan of MoveAmericaForward.com.
They went to Berkeley to meet with City Officials about their upcoming protest, and…well, here, I’ll just paste in her email:
Catherine Moy, our Executive Director for Move America Forward, met with Berkeley City officials today, including representatives of the police department about our rally and protest of Berkeley’s outrageous resolution condemning our Marines at the Recruiting Center as ‘unwanted and uninvited intruders.’
Um, it did not go so well.
Oddly, some were outwardly HOSTILE towards our patriots.
Cat Moy suggested that the city of Berkeley just start waterboarding us right now.
The police liason was NOT amused.
Among the demands from the bureaucrats is that we provide:
-sign language intrepreters for hearing impaired (how Berzekeley.)
-porta-potties for the disabled.
-shut down our sound system at 5:00 when our rally is scheduled to begin!
-and many other ridiculous permit rules.
CodePink has preferred parking, free sound permits, and two City Council Members plotting over the weekend to deny us our right to speak at the Council meeting at 7:00 tomorrow night. Oops, did I say 7:00? Now it appears the Council is meeting secretly at 5:00 in the afternoon.
Fascism by Regulation.
It’s what Berkeley does best.
May I remind our not-so-esteemed members of the Berkely City Council what our Marines, Army, Navy, Air Force, Coast Guardsmen do for us without thought about any political affiliation?
1. Toys for Tots program
2. Kartina and other domestic hurricane relief
3. Tsunami relief
4. Disaster relief efforts globally without restrictions as to nationality, religious affiliation, governments or political reference.
5. Drug Interdiction along the US borders
6. Safety and security of our Embassies.
I will be there, and I hope you will join me as we stand strong and proud with our military men and women, and especially the USMC.
Hoo-Ahh!
Melanie Morgan

who knew that the late 60’s-70’s would haunt us this long
February 11th, 2008 at 6:26 pm-sign language…..
I got some sign language for Berkeley.
February 11th, 2008 at 6:31 pmNeed finger icon on bottom for sign language, since beer is missing, hey Pat put a finger on.
February 11th, 2008 at 6:40 pmPull this city’s damn funding already!
That or accuse them of having WMD
February 11th, 2008 at 6:50 pmDeath by red tape. The only form of capital punishment parlor pinks support. True reds, of course, will use any and all means of eliminating enemies, real or perceived.
February 11th, 2008 at 6:55 pmMay I also suggest a smoking bowl icon. Fits nicely for Jerkley and the other hippy droids in Brattelboro and Toledo.
Gee and you wonder why the towel-heads don’t have Jerkley on their US target lists? It would be the last place that they’d hit. Too bad. Jerkley can fall into the sea lock, stock and barrel and it wouldn’t bother me in the least.
Looking forward to the next big 8 or 9 point quake. Or maybe we could give CA to the Taliban? Boy, wouldn’t that rock the droopy tits in Code Fink’s world?
February 11th, 2008 at 6:57 pmWhen the shooting begins, let me know … I will fly out.
February 11th, 2008 at 7:12 pmFUCK Berkeley!
….I used to live there 
…I don’t any longer! 
Boycott Berkeley!
February 11th, 2008 at 7:57 pmThese are the same bastards who will be screaming for the National Guard or the Coast Guard and any other assistance when they get hit by natural disaster or if the “boobs not bombs” group stops by again
February 11th, 2008 at 8:17 pmTom in CO - Call your Senators . . . Harry the asshole Reid shut down the Senate early so that the Semper Fi legislation taking away the earmark funding for Berkley could not be voted on . . .

Reid’s move delayed rap on Berkeley

Senate Democrats left two days of legislative business officially open last week, hobbling GOP efforts to bring up a bill punishing a liberal California city for scolding Marine Corps recruiters. Republicans said Democrats clearly wanted to avoid being forced to choose between the Marine Corps or Berkeley, Calif., known for its liberalism and fervent anti-war positions (continued) . . .
See above story at The Hill for the rest of the bull shit . . .
February 11th, 2008 at 8:27 pmWell that just makes me livid. Harry Reid keeps proving that his nickname always and will be “Douchebag.”
February 11th, 2008 at 8:46 pmI heard one of my senators (Vitter - R) on local talk radio late this afternoon. He is on our side. If the other (Landrieu - D) doesn’t side with us vocally, she’ll further loose the public just to keep the DNC backing her next fall.
Should we nuke this Jihadi hideout?
February 11th, 2008 at 9:02 pmThe thing I find bitterly ironic is the way they use anti-discrimination/accommodation regulations to discriminate against and bar a group of citizens from their 1st Amendment rights. The people who talk so shrilly about rights have no objection to denying them to people they don’t agree with.
The image I have is of a cat trapped on a limb while someone stands on the ground with a pole saw in hand, ready (if necessary) to cut the branch at the trunk. The marines defend their worthless carcasses as they would defend anyone else and this is the thanks they get. I feel it wouldn’t be unfair for the marines to leave Berkeley and cordon it. They could then import Mexicans from LA and pour them into Berkeley (now to be referred to as Santa Berkeley). Oh…and to add to the already explosive mix, they could import Al-Qaeda or Hezbollah so that Berkelistan can experience first-hand that marines are worth more than toilet paper.
February 11th, 2008 at 9:57 pmWell, you can all thank the far left bunch for this sorry state of affairs. How did it get to these lunatics being in power? The smartest thing to do is make sure these people do not stay in power, and make sure they are replaced by people with sense. Calling these turds names does not help. They need to be replaced by candidates who see clearly with some common sense. Geez what a mess.
February 11th, 2008 at 11:26 pmWhen I herd this story last week I sent an email to every one of those Communist cunts on the city council….guess what it was rejected…so much for free speach…One day that entire area wll crash into the sea…one day
February 12th, 2008 at 1:35 amI invite the Marines to my town.
February 12th, 2008 at 4:05 amI still don’t understand this approach! It’s pissing me off. I say tell Berkeley to go f*** itself! Don’t do another damn thing for them! Yank the funds, tell the commies and the terrorists its all theirs, send in the welcome mat for Al-Qaida, and let them have at it!
SCREW THESE PEOPLE! Let them get blown off the map and when it does, grab some chips and change the channel to your favorite program. I don’t give a damn if a plague of locust hits this area.
WHY IN THE HELL ARE WE GIVING THEM THE TIME OF DAY? They are completely irrelevant and deserve to have their heads lopped. I’ll stand up and cheer when it happens!
February 12th, 2008 at 6:05 amSounds like a lawsuit in the making! Has anyone gotten a petition together for Congress to yank the funding?
February 12th, 2008 at 6:29 amMaybe we can figure out a way to give Berkley back to Mexico…..!
February 12th, 2008 at 8:51 pmJoin us! We’re a non-profit, non-revenue generating organization that cost one teed off Marine $50 to start.. Suggestions, links, comments, critiques.. Bring it.
February 20th, 2008 at 4:57 pmFunny thing, these same people will be the ones crying the loudest for National Guard and Miltary help if a large earthquake hits this region! I say let them cry till they die!
February 21st, 2008 at 1:46 pmBerkely sucks. Rob Riggle sums up what I feel about this whole clusterf*** in this video- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XP26f3BYdWI
Go USMC! As well as US Army, Navy, the USAF, USCG, each organization’s reserve members, and the National Guard!
