Cede Berkley to Mexico.
Lex Luthor: Bye bye California. Hello new west coast. My west coast...... Costa Del Lex. Luthorville. Marina del Lex. Otisburg - Otisburg?
I cannot imagine all that much recruitment in Berkeley or the surrounding communities. Seems a waste to even have a recruitment office in that area.
The Mayor should be sued and sentenced
And yet on another board I post on there are people DEFENDING these clowns. Something about them being “lying recruiters” and not Marines. Ya gotta love the left.
There’s also a law that calls for the hanging of convicted traitors and seditionists. Let’s enforce that.
You know, maybe the other side is right when they say that some people just do not want to live in freedom under a western-style democracy, and that we should not force our way of life on them.
Pull out of Berkeley now, it’s a quagmire!
So if gays were allowed then I guess they would
have no issues with the military.
They are upset about the “Dont ask, dont tell policy”
Gays and lesbians dont want acceptance, they want special treatment and want to flaunt theif lifestyle.”
I wrote my Senators and Congressman and asked them to revoke all federal funding for these anti-American pro terrorist whores in Berkeley, California.
If Mayor Tom Bates is a retired Army officer, as he says his is, he probably is an inactive reservist, still holding a commission.
In which case he is still sworn under oath to protect and defend the interests of the United States Constitution.
“...all enemies, foreign and domestic”
Of which he is one.
se·di·tion noun
1. incitement of discontent or rebellion against a government.
2. any action, esp. in speech or writing, promoting such discontent or rebellion.
3. Archaic. rebellious disorder.
“I (insert name), having been appointed a (insert rank) in the U.S. Army under the conditions indicated in this document, do accept such appointment and do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic, that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter, so help me God.”
BTTT!
This is a similar tactic to what law schools used against military recruiting prior to the Solomon Amendment. They basically said that no entity can recruit unless it signs a non-discrimination paper. The military, due to its rules, could not sign it, therefore it was banned from recruiting. Then, the Solomon Amendment was passed which basically stripped federal money away if schools did not allow recruiting. The application of the Solomon Amendment was upheld by the federal Supreme Court in FAIR v. Rumsfeld.
The key argument is that the Supreme Court has upheld the military’s policies and the Constitution gives the federal government exclusive power over the military. Who is the City of Berkeley to regulate the military or to pass on its policies or to second guess the federal supreme court.
The City of Berkeley wants to undermine the Constitution’s supremacy clause which was reaffirmed by the Civil War and the Civil Rights movement.
Thanks very much for the information, Wyatt K.
Notice how they treat it like a simple hiring/employment issue? Like they’re thinking the military is exactly like any other government agency or small business.
Yup. And even better is that the armed services dont
discriminate against them. Somehow I doubt that even
if the marines allowed gays. I still dont
think code pink would be happy anyway.

Way to be, Hank. Great minds think alike.

The petition
We, the undersigned condemn the Berkeley City Councils treasonous attack on US Marine Recruiters stationed in their city. We ask that Congress cut off funds from any and all municipal entity within the confines of the city of Berkeley, California, until such time as the city council withdraws its action.
The City Council has 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.
The measure passed last week by a vote of 8-1.
The council also voted to explore enforcing a city anti-discrimination law, focusing on the militarys dont ask, dont tell policy.
In a separate item, the council voted, also 8-1, to give the Marxist protest group Code Pink a parking space in front of the recruiting office once a week for six months and a free sound permit for protesting once a week.
