I think this is poetic justice, so to speak

Yesterday I started a discussion on how the City Council of Berkley, CA had voted that the Marines weren't to be in the City....and that htey gave a protest permit to Code Pink,

Now I have to say the Congressman for that state has said and I quote

>DeMint was angered after learning that the Berkeley City Council voted this week to tell the U.S. Marine Corps to remove its recruiting station from the city's downtown.

"This is a slap in the face to all brave service men and women and their families," DeMint said in a prepared statement. "The First Amendment gives the City of Berkeley the right to be idiotic, but from now on they should do it with their own money."<

I don't care who thinks what I have to say right now taht I totally agree iwth this man,

He will draft legislation to remove any money earmarked for the city, and I hope it goes through.

the recruiting station has made no plans to appeal or to move.

If this legislation proposal goes through the city of Berkley could loose over a TWO MILLION dollars

What do you think, do you agree with the senator, or do you think the marines should pack up shop?

I think that is fair. They fight for our country and if they are not welcome, then they are against the country and we should not help them.

The wonderful thin about America is our freedom, and I believe that we need to appreciate the people that help maintain our freedom. I agree, it is the right of Berkely to do this, but they need to pay the price themselves.
