That was my first thought.

...contacting my Texas Senators now to support this measure.

I'm betting that both support it.

Yes, he does. Glad to see a bright spot in a year when many Republicans seem to be letting me (and all conservatives) down.

I will do so with Senator Milkulski; though she’s a Dem, Maryland is a BIG military state.

But so does the Marine spokesman. Winston Churchill once said something to the effect that if we wish to enjoy the benefits of free speech then we need to be prepared to put up with foolish speech. The Marines are fighting to protect the right of the Berkley city council to be bozos. It’s best to follow the example of the Marines and ignore the idiots rather than give them the publicity they’re looking for.

And never forget, the City Council also voted to condemn...that’s right...condemn our invasion of Afghanistan.

Berkley is not even worth talking about. Put a fence up around and continue to make it a dump of ethnic diversity.

Armed only with the information here, I would have to say I like this idea.... a lot. What kind of impact would SF feel if the Marines pulled out? I think SF would make an excellent place for the Marines FIRST withdrawl and what a fine gesture it would be if the other wings of the Armed Forces considered doing the same thing.

I called my Senators and asked them to propose legislation to cut off all tax money going to Berkeley. The city went from protected free speech to endorsing harassment of our Marines and that’s not acceptable. If they don’t want the support of the government then the government should give them no support.

Berkley is interfering with the Armed Forces maintaining their required force complement. It’s past time for push-back.

I totally disagree. Every time they protest, we should send in more military. These people need to be pushed into the bay.

Our senators are Babs Boxer and Dianne Feinstein. The latter is more reasonable (Babs is nuts) but neither would support it. They need the crazies in the Bay Area to be reelected.

The 9th Circus will rule any legislation denying Berkeley Federal funds unconstitutional.

I just sent my two Senators my request that they support Senator DeMint's bill.

Good luck on getting your democRAT Senator to support it. I guess it could happen. Every once in a while, the rabid left does something to embarrass the other libs, but that is very rare.

Ditto! We have the best Senator in the country in Jim Demint and the worst in the country in Lindsey Graham.

“The council also voted to give the antiwar group Code Pink a parking space in front of the recruiting office once a week for six months, as well as a protest permit.”

Wonder if they will give us a parking space and permit to protest Code Pinkies....
I also wonder what would happen if thousands of protestors arrived en masse on the streets of Berkley to counter protest.
Who would they call for street control? The National Guard?
But but they hate the military.
Let Berkley rot. I hope they never need our fine men and women to defend their sorry asses.
