Ah, I love the Smell of Bikes in Berkeley in the Morning!!

EaglesUp.Us brought 400 of their Motorcycle buddies and another 200 pedestrians to downtown Berkeley Saturday morning to support the Marines, which have been under fire from the radical group Code Pink and the Berkeley City Council.

Move America Forward’s Chairman Melanie Morgan rode into town on the back of a Hog. She and the VERY LOUD bikers cruised through the streets of Berkeley, giving them a wake-up call. As the roaring bikes cruised by, car alarms and house alarms squealed in the morning.

“I’ve never had so much fun in my life as I did on the back of that bike!” Morgan said.

Downtown parking spots were filled with bikes sporting American flags and men and women in leathers ruled the day.

MAF singer Diana Nagy opened the dayh with the “Star Spangled Banner” and Melanie kept the enthusiasm high as she introduced me.

I gave the following speech, which I wrote last night:

As we stand here today, I see in the strong souls of patriots a love for America that began when our Founding Fathers conceived this Republic.
I see red, white and blue.
I see black, white and brown. I see brothers and sisters. Many of you have battled in war for our Republic.
Now we battle on the homefront against America-haters, God haters, haters of anything that looks like freedom.
Make no mistake, brothers and sisters. We stand today in the bowels of anti-Americanism. Here, as the scoundrel Rev. Wright might say, the City Council is “riding dirty” on America.
They have called for anarchy. They have paid the way of America’s enemies. They have called our Marines - our heros - “unwelcome.” And these traitors refuse to apologize to the Marines, the very men and women who give them the freedom to act like maniacal dopes.
These filthy leftovers from the Vietnam-era and their spawn give nothing to this country. They offer aide and comfort to those who want to kill us infidels.

Osama bin Laden smiles when he hears about the chaos in the streets.
He smiles when he hears Sens. Clinton and Obama promise to cut and run if they are elected.
He smiles when cities like Berkeley provide gifts of public funds to America’s enemies.
Bin Laden shouldn’t smile too much. His ranks of useful idiots in America are shrinking. And the ranks of patriots who will stand against our enemies here at home are growing. So get that smirk off your face, devil boy.
The EAGLES have come HOME to roost!!
We WILL get YOU!
Look into the faces of the men and women here today. Do we look like we’ll rollover for some half-baked creeps in dirty night clothes? HELL NO. Do we look like we’ll cut and run? HELL NO! Do we look like we will let up on the anti-American Berkeley City Council? HELL NO!
This week we note the historical wonders of two brave and selfless beings: Jesus and the American troop. Both offered to give their lives. Both give hope. Both give strength. And both deserve our eternal honor and respect. Five years ago this week, our troops volunteered to go to Iraq and protect the national security of the United States while closing down rape rooms and capturing the tyrant Saddam Hussein

That is why we stand here today. We stand with our Marines.
Our sailors.
Our airman.
Our soldiers and our Coasties.

150 years ago Americans fought each other in another civil war. During that brutal clash, a union woman wrote the Battle Hymn of the Republic. It’s words ring true today:

Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord;
He is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored;
He hath loosed the fateful lightning of His terrible swift sword;
His truth is marching on.
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! His truth is marching on.
He has sounded forth the trumpet that shall never call retreat;
He is sifting out the hearts of men before His judgment seat;
Oh, be swift, my soul, to answer Him! be jubilant, my feet;
Our God is marching on.
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Our God is marching on.

God Bless the Marines. God Bless You. And God Bless the United States of America.

We sang together. We prayed together. We thanked all of our troops together. It was a beautiful day.

What made life so beautiful on Saturday is the 600-plus patriots who showed up to send a message to the City of Berkeley came in all creeds, colors and, uh, breeds.

A proud patriot:

Oh - and only a few Code Pinkos showed up. They huddled on a corner in their pathetic pink. Berkeley belonged to the red, white and blue on Saturday.

Folks--Come on Downnnnnnnnnnnnnn!

We're going to be in Berkeley Saturday morning, gathering around 10:00 in the morning with our pride in our United States Military in front of the Marine Recruiting Center at 64 Shattuck Square.

I'll be there to do some speechifying, which begins at Noon.

I'm going to ride into town with the Patriot Guard Riders, Rolling Thunder and other bikers (HOW COOL IS THAT!) ..

Join us in fighting the anti-American message from the rabid pinko weasels and have a great time with pro-troopers who LOVE our military men and women.

I will be on KRON4 at 8:15 tomorrow morning to talk about our great event.

Be there at Shattuck Square!

Bezerkley, California --here we come!

It is great to beat the left in Berkeley. You know how discouraged they must be feeling today.

[17th Miss Regt]

It is great to beat the left in Berkeley.

I counsel caution here. If you beat a leftist the resulting cloud of dirt and dust may cause you to run afoul of the local Air Quality Management District.

This is so wonderful, thank you.

The petition

We, the undersigned condemn the Berkeley City Council’s 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 it’s 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 military’s “don’t ask, don’t 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.
