Steaming Load #1: Berkeley Poised to Oust Military Recruiters from City

Beserkeley, Mexifornia is living down to our lowest expectations for that blight on this land conceived in liberty. It appears that the Beserkeley asshats are determined to reclaim the city's title as the most egregious neo-Marxist blight in America from its prime contenders in Montgomery County, Maryland, and the entire state of Vermont.

Spearheaded by the city’s "Peace and Justice Commission", the usual caterwauling cretins are deploying a ballot initiative that’s aimed at evicting military recruiting offices and private military companies from the city. Granted, the initiative doesn’t proudly proclaim its "boot the bastards" aims, but it amounts to the same thing:

If passed by a majority of Berkeley voters, a proposed initiative would require military recruiting offices and private military companies in Berkeley to first acquire a special use permit. To obtain this permit, a business must hold public hearings and a public comment period. If the initiative passes, recruitment offices could not be opened within 600 feet of residential districts, public parks, public health clinics, public libraries, schools or churches. (Daily Californian)

The lowest blow of all is the fact that these new rules of engagement are identical to the ones Beserkeley imposes on ‘adult-oriented businesses’:

"In the same way that many communities limit the location of pornographic stores, that's the same way we feel about the military recruiting stations. Teenagers that really want to find them will be able to seek them out and find them, but we don't want them in our face." (A Beserkeley peace bitch named PhoeBe sorgan - that’s not a typo on her name, believe it or not)

If Beserekeley want’s to kick out the recruiters, that can be arranged. I’m sure the U.S. Marine recruiting office - the only recruiting office in town - would be delighted to leave this outpost of the Twilight Zone. Of course, such a departure would come at a price, if I have anything to say about it.

If Beserkeley wants to piss on the brave men and women who defend our liberty, so be it. If Beserkeley is offended by the presence of Uncle Sam’s military recruiters, then they must be equally offended by all the federal dollars that this red, white and blue war monger sends Beserkeley’s way. I’m sure that their infamous university can do just fine without any federal grant money. I’m sure that all the other Beserkeley entities that get federal funds will be happy to part with that U.S. Treasury largess.

Parting shot: Ideally, we should arrange for a tragic military training accident to obliterate Beserkeley with an "oops, our bad" saturation bombing campaign that includes tactical nukes. If that’s ‘too extreme’ I would settle for isolating Beserkeley from the rest of Mexifornia with an impenetrable barrier and forcibly evicting them from the United States of America. "Hi ho, hi ho, those Beserkeley bastards have got to go".

Update: Since I conferred this award, the Beserkeley City Council joined this assault on our brave men and women in uniform. The duly elected Beserkeley asshats took several swipes at the U.S. Marine recruiting office:

* They voted 6-3 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"...’ (Contra Costa Times)

* They voted ‘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’. (CC Times)

* These Elected Tormentor scumbags gave an official, city-approved green light to the putrid peace punks in Code Pink to make the Marines manning the recruiting office miserable:

‘...[The City Council] 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....’ (CC Times)

There must be some way to persuade the Marines at Camp Pendleton to conduct their next ‘live fire’ exercise in Beserkeley, a city that is, in every possible way, begging for it.
