U.S. Senator Wants to Revoke Funding From City of Berkeley, Calif., for Vote to Boot Marines
This is something that bugs me about far-from-center liberals. They have the rights they have, and the rights to fight for more rights because of people like the Marines. Code Pink, who the city is essentially helping antagonize the Marines, only can exist because of the brave service men and women through history. These are the same people who if, God forbid, had a terrorist attack or natural disaster in their town would raise hell if the military wasn't there to help.
C'mon people. Just because you don't agree with Iraq (you know that's the issue here), doesn't mean you should disrupt a military office or try to kick them out. That's the thing about war, you can't always pick and choose which ones you like. You have to take the good with the bad. If China were invading us, you'd hope there were plenty of Marines. If Americans were taken hostage somewhere, you'd want Marines. So, what's your problem?
And, I think I agree with Sen. Jim DeMint. If you want to kick out a federal office, then you may not deserve some federal money. People forget where they came from, how they got there, and who did it for them.
