U.S. Sen Wants to Revoke Funding From Berkeley for Vote to to Boot Marines

[headhuntersix]

DeMint was angered after learning that the Berkeley City Council voted this week to tell the U.S. Marine Corps to remove its recruiting station from the city's downtown.

"This is a slap in the face to all brave service men and women and their families," DeMint said in a prepared statement. "The First Amendment gives the City of Berkeley the right to be idiotic, but from now on they should do it with their own money."

"If the city can’t show respect for the Marines that have fought, bled and died for their freedom, Berkeley should not be receiving special taxpayer-funded handouts," he added.

In the meantime, a senior Marine official tells FOX News that the Marine office in Berkeley isn't going anywhere.

"We understand things are different there, but some people just don't get it. This is a part of the military machine that gives them the right to do what they do, but what they are doing is extreme," the official said.

Yeah, as if Berkeley needs federal funding for anything.

sounds like bs to me, they should be able to set up where they want and every city should respect what the Marines have done.  If someone wants to join, good for them they should have easy access to join and no city should stand in the way.  The idiots who pushed this should have the crap kicked out of them till they bleed in all directions

with that said, I'm still against these bullshit wars

[Dos Equis]

Idiots.

Its not about the war, from the Marine point of view...thats almost secondary. They also gave Code Pink a parking spot right in front.
