The Berkeley City Council this week voted to tell the Marines their downtown recruiting station is not welcome and "if recruiters choose to stay, they do so as uninvited and unwelcome guests," according to The Associated Press. These traitorous scumbags have the nerve to call Marines "uninvited and unwelcome guests" in their own damn country?

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.Well, it's not S.F. proper, but the zany burg of Berkeley we're talkin' 'bout, here. Aside from that, though, you've got it exactly backwards.
We've got the insurgents on the run in Berkeley; the surge is working.
If we pull out now, our enemies will be emboldened. We'll be sending them the message that we aren't in this for the long haul; that we shrink back in the face of adversity. We'll lose all of the trust we've gained with the everyday citizens in the region, and within weeks of our pull-out the streets will be avenues of violence and mayhem as the terrorists return with vengeance to the neighborhoods we previously drove them out of.
We cannot allow this to happen. The people of Berkeley must know that the United States is committed to leaving behind a stable, and peaceful Berkeley with its own security forces capable of standing on their own feet, and keeping the terrorist insurgents from reestablishing a presence there. We MUST stay the course and see this through to VICTORY!

No city should be getting federal earmarks if it is interfering with military recruiting.

The Navy is about to commission a new nukuler sub to be called the “California”

I’ve actually read DeMint being mentioned as a McCain VP choice. DeMint was essential in the fight against McCain-Kennedy and the theory is that DeMint would give McCain cover for this issue. If you are McCain, having a young bona fide Southern conservative balance your ticket wouldn’t suck.
Whether DeMint would agree is another question all together.

The Berzerkly Police should all quit, walk away, and let the animals consume each other. The poor lil college students will be at the mercy of the homeless, illegals and such. They will really learn about being bullied, beat, and maimed. They will whine to be protected because it is their RIGHT!

If the city cant show respect for the Marines that have fought, bled and died for their freedom, Berkeley should not be receiving special taxpayer-funded handouts," he added. US Out of Berkeley!!

Is it an Ohio class sub? I’ll let my husband know... he’s a fan of all things submarine related, but he doesn’t keep up with the latest stuff.

I wouldn’t think Berkeley would be a target rich area for Marine recruiters. If you graduate at the bottom of Marine recruiter school you get assigned to places like Berkeley CA, Ithaca NY, Madison WI, Boulder CO, etc..

Nobody should be getting federal earmarks.
There that’s better.
