berkeley to marines...get out!

Published Feb 8, 2008

If this doesn't upset you, I don't know what will.

My father was a US Marine for 28 years.  I support this Country and our troops.  

And you know, fine.  Don't support the war if you don't want to, but to not support the troops who are overseas fighting for YOUR rights, YOUR freedoms, YOUR safety, and YOUR country is just wrong.

It would be nice if we could somehow let the rest of the world know we are no longer defending this part of American soil. We're going to build a wall around it, and leave it open to any invaders that want to drop by and say "hello".

Then they might let the Marines back in with open arms, I suspect.

I don't know. That would be nice, if those events would actually transpire.. Part of me thinks that they'd still want the Marines out, in the hopes that they'd be spared by demanding such.

This is just more Code Pink craap! There are major activities underway to counter them - including bills being introduced to cut off Federal funds to Berkeley...Already the local politicians are backing down. Will probably take a couple more weeks to put an end to this nonsense.

TBK...I agree. This part of CA has been useless since the 60's flower power period, top to bottom.

Nonviolent aside, that reads like a declaration of war. Encouraging the citizens to impede the military? That's treason.

stand up...hope your Dad is still alive. If so, he is still a Marine whether he puts on the uniform or not...I referred to someone recently as an ex-marine, he corrected me in a way I will not soon forget! He looked like he could still kick some serious behind.

My paste didn't work, so I'm trying again. Here's the language that sounds a lot like a declaration of war:

"If recruiters choose to stay, they do so as uninvited and unwelcome intruders."

Wow.

Saw this last week on the news. All branches of the military should do a march on this town.

This country will never be as strong as it needs to be now, because of pinkies like this. What is wrong with this country? Oh I know, too liberal.

Jackadoo, unfortunately he passed away the summer after my freshman year of college. I can definitely attest to the fact that even after he retired, he was still a Marine. It was and still is in his blood.

Thanks to him, I bleed camo green just as much as I bleed carolina blue. (Sorry TBK)
