The Berkeley City Council voted in the early hours of Wednesday to reverse its controversial declaration that U.S. Marine Corps recruiters were "unwelcome intruders" in the city.
Its vote last month to send a letter to a downtown recruiting station advising the Marines they were not welcome set off a furious backlash. Conservative lawmakers in Washington and Sacramento threatened to cut millions in funding to Berkeley in retaliation. In Wednesday's action, the council -- while affirming its opposition to the war -- decided not to send the letter and to state that recruiters were welcome.
"We failed our city," said Gordon Wozniak, who was one of three council members who voted against the original declaration. "We embarrassed our city."
On Tuesday, antiwar and pro-military activists faced off outside City Hall, protests that led to several scuffles and three arrests, police said.

So much for strength of convictions. When it threatens to cut their funding, their words are eaten.
as i posted ten days ago, this is a non story. it would be very interesting to know how many people have signed on the dotted line in the berkeley recruiting office over the last few years.
the city council is also to blame, because they should have just left well enough alone. if the recruiting center had moved to some place like oakland (or another socio-economically disadvantaged area) they might have actually suckered some kids into signing up. by and large the people in berkeley are too intelligent and too wealthy to join the military.
also, perhaps foxnews and the right wing talk radio hosts that manufactured this 'scandal' (and enraged the rubes on this forum) should direct their outrage at the fact that most likely there are more former marines living on the streets and under bridges than will ever sign up at the berkeley recruiting office.
I've studied Guevara in detail. It's apparent from your comments you haven't. Not revisionism, was merely curious as to how far you're prepared to go with your disigenuousity and/or wilful blindness. The answer to that's not surprising. Remember Boon, a little knowledge is a dangerous thing.

you're showing your age boon mee....the days of the red "scare" are over. roy cohn is dead, and so is the relevance of your hate filled ideology.
Not at all. Communism might be on the wane right now but it is still lurking back there waiting for the free market to acquiesce at some point i.e. socialized medicine, the Hildebeast's 'take for the better good' philosophy etc.
BTW, cheers for helping us make this thread a triple century...and more!![]()

Well, folks, here we go with the latest chapter of what-all is going on in that lovely city by the bay. Too bad it's infested with Moonbats!
How would you like to make $160,000.00 USD per year seeking a solution for climate change? Eco-chic outa control or what?

Standing in the ocean with the sun burning low in the west
Like a fire in the cavernous darkness at the heart of the beast
With my beliefs and possessions, stopped at the frontier in my chest
At the edge of my country, my back to the sea, looking east
Where the search for the truth is conducted with a wink and a nod
And where power and position are equated with the grace of God
These times are famine for the soul while for the senses it's a feast
From the edge of my country, as far as you see, looking east
Hunger in the midnight, hunger at the stroke of noon
Hunger in the mansion, hunger in the rented room
Hunger on the TV, hunger on the printed page
And there's a God-sized hunger underneath the laughing and the rage
In the absence of light
And the deepening night
Where I wait for the sun
Looking east
How long have I left my mind to the powers that be?
How long will it take to find the higher power moving in me?
Power in the insect
Power in the sea
Power in the snow falling silently
Power in the blossom
Power in the stone
Power in the song being sung alone
Power in the wheatfield
Power in the rain
Power in the sunlight and the hurricane
Power in the silence
Power in the flame
Power in the sound of the lover's name
The power of the sunrise and the power of a prayer released
On the edge of my country, I pray for the ones with the least
Hunger in the midnight, hunger at the stroke of noon
Hunger in the banquet, hunger in the bride and groom
Hunger on the TV, hunger on the printed page
And there's a God-sized hunger underneath the questions of the age
And an absence of light
In the deepening night
Where I wait for the sun
Looking east

I like the way he dots his capital letter "I"s. And the numeral one on the first line, too.
Very clever. Must have gone to the same community college as Ray Carey.

The ONLY way you could get me to protest anything.
Lots and LOTS of free beer. And after about the second hour I wouldn't be a very good model for your protest. Maybe that's why I'm never invited.![]()

Whoa!!!
Another raycarey here or what???
Got what they deserved eh? Like they had a choice where they were posted huh?
Suppose Nick Berg got what he deserved too huh???
Rather fucked-up logic going on here...![]()
^The funny thing about your little pic there Booners...
It's, of course, from a blog. The self-aggrandising LGF in this instance. But this is where it gets strange, they posted it Feb 29th and captioned it as "from today’s moonbat tantrum outside the Marines Corps office". However when following the link through to the site they claim to have taken it from the last update avaliable is Feb 12th. Not only that but the picture isn't apparent anywhere on the Zombie site itself.
You really should learn critical thinking Booners.
