berkeley to marines...get out!

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.

Tidbit, hopefully you were just kidding. I wouldn't revoke a citizen's citizenship over some dumb way of thinking. People are free to be idiots in this country. I would hate it if one day I held some view that was very much in the minority, and found myself outcast to Mexico or somewhere!

Ha! I think we just said the exact same thing Tidbit!

T. I heard about those kids. Really, though, it's just that they're the spoiled rotten spawn of rich, liberal parents and both the parents and the kids have too much time on their hands.

My family had money, but I'm a spoiled rotten conservative who knows the value of a dollar and as such, hard work and good grades. I take NOTHING for granted (or at least try not to do so).

Yacs, thank you for your condolences.

Tmedlin - you hit the nail right on the head for the most part - All of these people are spoiled rotten brats. Their parents are also spoiled idiots - and I mean idiots not in the just angry calling names way - I mean it in the you can hear air blowing through their ears way.

This is not Bush's fault, geez, get over yourselves with everything being his fault.

You know you guys are overestimating the intellegence of these people. They wouldn't want the military there no matter what happened to them. Remember the liberal mentality- see, it wouldn't be their fault, they'd have to blame someone if something happened to them. You know - "this happend because Bush *arted!" mentality.

These are also the same mentality of people who think all miltiary are raping, rampaging, power hungry, invading, baby killers.

I'm perfectly ok with revoking their American citizenship and making them go somewhere else to hopefully educate them to appreciate the rights they have here and how they are protected.

Odds are - if you asked them exactly what their rights are and how they gained these rights - they couldn't tell you (or some horribly warped version of it)

"Boy, were THEY surprised, and SCARED to DEATH! It was most enjoyable to see the spoiled brats nearly soil their pants when they were met by the veterans!"

ROFLMBO!!!! It's almost worth it all just for this story! Love it!!!

They all need to be smacked upside the head, maybe they would get some sense knocked into them.

Patriot Guard is the group the protects the families of fallen soldiers at the funerals, when the kooks from Westboto Baptist Church show up with signs that say "thank god for dead soldiers" etc. There were students, faculty, and other locals the last time the recruiting station was vandalized. You've GOT to see this video - shows the meeting at the Berkeley town council http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dCXqYvJ0DaA

T, are you serious? Wow. Was it all students? Not that that would excuse them, but sometimes you have to get out and live in the real world a little before you can temper your ideals. In Berkeley, it's adults in the town government who are doing this!
