“If there are to be no wars, there can be no warriors,” said Dianne Budd, one of the organizers.
PRESIDENT OBAMA: We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well funded.
If there are to be no wars there must be no warriors. There's the true dimwittocRAT view of the world. And if you think that view coincides with the realities of this world you need to see a shrink fast. It is this view that leads the dimwittocRATS to their traitorous actions. They fanatically think the need for defense will go away if you just act like the world is a toothless, totally safe place. And that is pure bunk, it's getting more dangerous every day, and they are just helping it become so.
They give the color pink a very bad name
Update...
Berkeley council tells Marines to leaveHey-hey, ho-ho, the Marines in Berkeley have got to go.
That's the message from the Berkeley City Council, which voted 8-1 Tuesday night to tell the U.S. Marines that its Shattuck Avenue recruiting station "is not welcome in the city, and if recruiters choose to stay, they do so as uninvited and unwelcome intruders."
In addition, the council voted to explore enforcing its law prohibiting discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation against the Marines because of the military's don't ask, don't tell policy. And it officially encouraged the women's peace group Code Pink to impede the work of the Marines in the city by protesting in front of the station.
In a separate item, the council voted 8-1 to give Code Pink a designated parking space in front of the recruiting station once a week for six months and a free sound permit for protesting once a week from noon to 4 p.m.
