Op-Ed: D-Day Has Come To Call On Berkeley, CA

In a scant 5 hours time, the City Of Pink, Berkeley, CA, will garner National and quite possibly international attention as the show down between anti-Americanist and American Patriots face off in the aftermath of attacks on the USMC.

The LA Times is all over it...or not.

[...] "We're not looking for a fight, and we expect the police to be there to help keep the peace," Rae Abileah, a national organizer for Code Pink, said about the group's vigil. "The right-wing groups are trying to make this into an issue of whether you are for or against the Marines. It's not about that. It's about the war in Iraq and the deceitful tactics by military recruiters." [...]

Nice try, Rae. Nice try. Not looking for a fight? What kind of response were they expecting? The same responses these types came to expect in the 60s and 70s? Not hardly.

[...] Berkeley's declaration, introduced before the city's Peace and Justice Commission, accused the United States of repeatedly "launching illegal, immoral and unprovoked wars of aggression" and said "the Bush administration launched the most recent of those wars in Iraq and is threatening the possibility of war in Iran." [...]

These less than honorable individuals have got it all backwards, don't they? These socialist anti-Americanists did not expect the outrage that they have so richly deserved. Hold on, this is going to be a bumpy ride. And what about the little man that boasted about not being able "to make the grade" and was mustered out of the USMC? Have you ever noticed that MOST of the "alleged anti-war vets" are the ones that have been booted OUT of the military because they were less than honorable? Imagine that. True American patriots look at these in vile contempt. So sad to be unable to accept responsibility for their own actions that got them ousted.

[...] The return fire was swift. Several Republican senators sponsored a bill to reroute $2.3 million in federal funding from Berkeley to the Marines. In the last 10 days, city officials have received 26,000 e-mails, mostly from irate people who called the declaration irresponsible. Several council members have received death threats. [...]

[...] "The e-mails are running 15 to 1 in favor of the Marines," said Councilman Gordon Wozniak, one of the dissenters in the 6-3 vote on the declaration. "They've run the gamut from being very thoughtful to dismissing Berkeley citizens as liberal scum." [...]

Sounds like they are severely outnumbered...AGAIN! They ain't seen nuttin' yet, honey! In an email from Melanie Morgan, thousands of us True Patriots received:

Don't believe the propaganda from the Berkeley City Council or the New York Times for a minute.

Move America Forward received a very hostile reception from the City officials during our planning session with police and bureaucrats.

It could get ugly tomorrow.

Patriots are prepared.

No doubt in our minds at all. We have all seen how these peaceful people deface government and private property all in the name of peace, haven't we? As the saying goes: Eagles UP! 2/12/2008 should be an interesting day for all concerned. The nations will be following this event closely.

BERKELEY, Calif - On Tuesday night, the nine members of the Berkeley City Council are expected to do something they, or the Marines, for that matter, very rarely do: retreat in the face of fierce opposition. [...]

"Fierce opposition"...imagine that. More news to follow.
