Berkeley Moonbats Officially Attack Marines With Decrees

The Berkeley City Council is attacking the US Marines with words and ordinances. I wish they'd try the real thing. I think the Marines could handle a little scrap with the town council just fine on their own. I'm not thinking peace loving, either.

The City of Berkeley, California has passed two resolutions attacking the United States Marine Corps, calling the Marines, “uninvited and unwelcome intruders in the city.”

See Melanie Morgan's work at Move America Forward for story and contact information to lodge a complaint.

Cities in the United STATES don't have the power to uninvite perfectly legal organizations like the Marine Corps. If Arnoooold had any guts he would declare Berkeley under martial law and send an Army Guard brigade in there to teach Berkeley office-holders about their lawful responsibilities and duties.

Now..now..Fred, the moonbats are just showing how tough they are. My advice would be this, if you don't appreciate the USMC, then you don't get any money from Uncle Sam, and I mean, not one cent. The fastest turnaround in history would take place in the Berkeley promenade.

[Fred Beloit]

Guess that would work too, Temp, but my solution would be more fun to watch.

[templar knight]

Yes, it would be, Fred. Let me know when such a thing will happen, and I'll definitely be there.

[WAHOO WILLIE SEZ:]

You cats are scaring me.

In my dreams, I'd take it a step forward and declare Berkeley to be in a state of insurrection and deploy a few brigade of USMC volunteers to raze the city hall to the ground.

And then hang the insurrectionists from the traffic lights.

Of course, this is only a dream... and I'll say that Temp's idea is probably the better notion of how to handle those ungrateful rapscallions.

I simply state that Berkeley is officially outside to protection of the United States and foreign powers may do with them what they will....

[WAHOO WILLIE SEZ:]

Goodness you people sound like freedom loving Americans.

[Fred Beloit]

Wahoo, Berkeley isn't above the law of the land. This is the opposite of freedom. It is petty tyranny.

[Wahoo Willie]

Fred, I get myself in big trouble with the partisans when I say that Berkley should be allowed to makes it's own city rules. To me there's no difference in disallowing recruiters and not allowing strip clubs across the street from churches. No difference. I'll stop there or I'll be having people slitting their own wrists.....or wanting my throat

Wahoo, there is a major difference: No local government can dictate city ordinance terms on a federal facility. Even a leased recruitment office for the Marines is a federal facility.

This is mere puffery, designed to bait the Melanie Morgan's of this world.

"there is a major difference: No local government can dictate city ordinance terms on a federal facility. Even a leased recruitment office for the Marines is a federal facility."

Brad you are absolutely correct in that statement, except where the fed agrees to accept local regulation. Which they routinely do in may areas. I base that on working a big chunk of my career with DOD. AN example? military ambulances are inpected/approved by local authorities to be used for "off base" EMS calls and DOD emergency medical techs must meet the state EMS protocals. If your state for instance will not accept national emt certs, the DOD employee must meet the local requirement. Now once the office is leased the city cannot come in and say "we don't want the poster of Chesty Puller up there." However a city can determine who you can and cannot lease to via zoning ordinances.
