Berkeley City Council Tells Marines To Leave
The Berkeley City Council voted 6-3 Tuesday night to tell the U.S. Marines that its Shattuck Avenue recruiting station “is not welcome in the city, and if recruiters choose to stay, they do so as uninvited and unwelcome intruders.”
Let me repeat that, the Berkeley City Council regards the United States Marines as “unwelcome intruders.”
In addition, the council voted to explore enforcing its law prohibiting discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation against the Marines because of the military’s don’t ask, don’t tell policy. And it officially encouraged the women’s peace group Code Pink to impede the work of the Marines in the city by protesting in front of the station.
In a separate item, the council voted 8-1 to give Code Pink a designated parking space in front of the recruiting station once a week for six months and a free sound permit for protesting once a week from noon to 4 p.m.
Here’s what Berkeley’s Mayor had to say:
“I believe in the Code Pink cause. The Marines don’t belong here, they shouldn’t have come here, and they should leave,” said Berkeley Mayor Tom Bates after votes were cast.
Mayor Bates has it all wrong. It is he who doesn’t belong here and shouldn’t have come here. It is he who should not only leave Berkeley, but leave the United States.
We don’t need disgraceful cowards in this country. Mayor Bates and the entire City Council deserve to be spit on for disrespecting our military.
In a perfect world we could lock those Code Pink bitches up for good. Encouraging those traitorous broads to in effect drive the Marines out of town is totally outrageous and shameful.
All Federal money should be immediately cut off for the city. If they are going to pursue a disgraceful agenda, then they should find a way to be a self-sustaining.
