Berkeley Backs Off On Banning Marines.
Six Republican senators devised a plan to yank $2.3 million in federal funding for Berkeley programs, and the mayor of the famously liberal city apologized Wednesday for his hard stance against a Marine recruiting center. At their Tuesday council meeting, leaders will discuss scrapping a letter that might be perceived as targeting the center or the Marines. The letter said that the recruiting center was not welcome on Shattuck Avenue and that the Marines were uninvited and unwelcome intruders.Even the ultra liberal S.F. Chronicle castigated the hapless hippies.
In hopes of the last word, the petulant kids of code pink displayed their ignorance of civil rights. "I was under the impression that we have the right of free speech," said Xanne Joi of Code Pink. "To me, I thought free speech meant you get to say what you want without recrimination." Typical entitlement attitude. Grow up. It's your free speech, but it's the taxpayer's money. You can keep your opinion and we'll keep our money.
