Sounds like a good time for an old fashioned dungaree leave.

John McCain hates the Marines too!

[maine-iac7]

ahhh - am I missing something? I watched the video and it didn't seem to me that Neal thought the Code Pink actions were anything to pay much attention to - free speech and all that???

Where does free speech allow anyone to chain themselves to the entrance of anyone else's building and restrict anyone else's free movement - let alone Federal Property?

Anyone want to imagine what would have happened to anti-abortion protesters who did the same to the entrance of an abortion clinic?

They would have all been summarily arrested. Well, they would never have been allowed that close to the building in the first place.

Maybe we need to ask Neil what the difference would be if the protesters had been anti-abortion folk at an abortion clinic?

I'm surprised at you, Neil!

Does anyone have a list of Berkeley-based businesses? I'm out-of-state, so Berkeley Chamber's listing of local businesses doesn't really help me here.

The only company I know with national reach is Clif Bar. Any other major brands to avoid?

[stevie_d_64]

Correct me if I am wrong, but I thought that the interfering of a Federal employee doing their job was a Federal offence???

Recruiters are basically Federal employees. I did a little bit of recruiting (extra duty while in the service, and home on leave) and believed that was our status when on the clock...

Blocking a Federal employee from access to their office or facility from where they worked from was a no-no...

Of course this is Berkeley, California...And the law means nothing there...

I agree, lets pull the federal dollars away from the cess-pool and let them die on the vine...

Our Marines will be ok, if they need support, I can say we’ll find a way to do so...

[Kolb]

This really hits home with me- there are three Marines in my family (none active). Needless to say I signed the petition.

Now the mayor of Berkley is backpeddling like crazy. Too late scumbag, say goodbye to your federal money!

Can someone get this KRISTV video on YouTube?

I don’t know how to do it - but we need to get this where the public can see it and ask WHY did the MSM ignore such a large rally!!! (We know, but people need to see this - and get it archived)

The link to the station is

Then scroll down on the left - we need to capture it before it's gone
