WASHINGTON — The mayor of Berkeley, Calif., has issued an apology to servicemen and women serving in Iraq following a flap over a City Council vote that told the U.S Marine recruiting station there it should leave, and if it doesn't, is staying only as "uninvited and unwelcome intruders."

The apology follows the introduction this week of the Semper Fi Act of 2008, pushed by Sen. Jim DeMint, R-S.C., that would rescind more than $2 million in federal earmarks destined for Berkeley. DeMint was joined by five other Republican lawmakers in introducing the bill Wednesday after they were angered over the Berkeley City Council's actions.

A companion bill entered in the House has the support of 45 Republicans. No Democrats are supporting either bill.....

REPUBLICAN LAWMAKERS RETALIATE BY PUSHING BILL TO CUT FEDERAL SUBSIDIES


A spokesman for DeMint said Wednesday that the bills would also seek to remove other earmarks, including nearly $1 million for a new ferry
Advertisement service and funds for public safety.

"Berkeley needs to learn that their actions have consequences," DeMint said in the release. "Patriotic American taxpayers won't sit quietly while Berkeley insults our brave Marines and tries to run them out of town."

Republicans jumped on this and I say Bravo..

Yeah...I've been following this also. What's wrong with those people in Berkley. That Marine recruiting station has the Code Pink nutjobs out in front of it daily. I guess when the Republicans stepped up and talked about withdrawing money they changed their tune. I guess money does talk...lol

Why are people like this anyway? To be against the war is one thing but to prevent others from recruiting is borderline unamerican. I did notice that these people were Democrats but I won't go there.

Is there something in the water there that makes those people act this way? Even in the 60's and 70's we knew that Berkley was festering with this type activity during the Vietnam war.

Just because you don't agree with what your government is doing doesn't mean you take it out on those that have sworn to protect you.

They need to go back to government 101 and learn what the voting process is.

I would agree wholeheartedly with you. Personally I would be honored to have them or any other military in my area.

MONEY TALKS...$HIT WALKS

Sanctions are very effective. Too bad they aren't used enough.


How do I say this without offending anyone

There has to be balance. There has to be a voice of reason. These folks look at it as they look at all wars. Rich man/Poor man. That does not make them un-American. Like that woman said..... The last war that was necessary was WWII.

We have in America a DOD.....department of defense.....not a DOO....department of offense.... hello.

The rich have always exploited the poor to fight their wars and that is a fact.
We all know that if a family has money they can keep their kids out of conflict, even if a draft is in place.

If a person has money they can get a "DREAM TEAM" to keep their sorry asses out of prison for murder.

Underprivileged are targeted thats a fact. Its blatantly obvious to anyone paying attention.

Is it the recruiters fault.....NO !

Thats just the way it is and its not gonna change...

I am a-fixin ( ky speak) to get up close and personal with the Middle East conflict in about 2 years give or take.
My grandson will be 16 in March.... He called me to ask my opinion of his joining the army after he graduates.

He said the recruiter came to speak to the High School and he was VERY impressed with the INCENTIVES, needless to say.

I didn't discourage or encourage him. Its a way to better himself from the total disregard his parents have inflicted on him. I advised him how important it is for him to keep his nose clean and keep his grades up because that will count if he decides to enlist.

I am very proud of him....however.... He isn't thinking about patriotism...he is looking at the money.....

Ok I am ready for the
