Berkeley protests Marine recruiting office

Berkeley to Marines: You're 'not welcome in our city' - CNN.com

The spokeswoman for the Marines even says it herself. The city is exercising it's right to free speech. So what do republicans do? Threaten to take $2 million from the city and give it to the Marines

Quote:
"Like most Americans, I really get disturbed when taxpayer money goes to institutions which proceed to take votes, make policy or make statements that really denigrate the military," said Sen. David Vitter, R-Louisiana, a co-sponsor of the bill.
Well you know what? I get really disturbed when you appropriate more and more money for a quagmire that VERY few people want a part of. And what's the "Most Americans" crap? Speak for yourself asshole.

This Marine recruiting station is trying to recruit our youth to go to Iraq to kill and be killed. And we are against that
Quote:
This recruiting station recruits people to go fight and then once they fight and they serve their country, our country doesn't take care of them. That's a shame
These people are protesting the war by holding recruiting stations responsible for what the big wigs in washington are doing. :/

Quote:
Berkeley needs to learn that their actions have consequences
The big wigs retaliate by taking money from city council because of some protesters exercising their right to free speech and peaceful assembly?

Showdown looms in 'treasonous' Berkeley - CNN.com

Apparently treason now extends to deciding what you want in your city

Quote:
Republican lawmakers in Washington fired back last week, threatening to recall more than $2 million of federal funding to the city as well as money designated for the University of California-Berkeley, the campus that became a bastion of liberalism during the Vietnam War
So let me get this straight. You're not just taking money from the city, you're taking money from the university that's trying to give kids a decent education and help them be successful in life? Go to hell.
