Recruiting Station in New York Bombed
Mar 6, 2008 Military
At 3:45 this morning a bomb went off at a Times Square recruiting office shattering the glass front with an impact that was felt in surrounding buildings. No one was injured in the blast and police are looking into reports of a person on a bike who might have delivered the explosive.
Those who join the military expect that at one time or another they will be put in harm’s way, especially during this period in our history. It is part of the job and most accept it willingly despite what the idiots at Code pinko would have people believe. What our military does not expect is for this kind of violence to be perpetrated on our own soil, the very soil members of the military swear to protect with their lives.
Sure, there are protests against the military conducted by people who live under the very blanket of freedom provided by those protested, and those protests, while despicable, are a reaffirmation of the concept that our military protects our rights. Without the United States military, and those who have paid the ultimate price, protesters would suffer fates similar to those in China and other countries where public dissent is squashed by military forces acting on behalf of the government. The fact that our military protects protesters while military forces in other countries kill them is a testament to the concept of freedom our founders so brilliantly designed. These freedoms exist even if idiots like those in Berkeley California are too self absorbed to see them.
The bomb in Times Square elevates the resistance to our military to a new level. Certainly, this could have been an act of terror but I dismiss this idea because a terrorist would have wanted a detonation when people were around so as to maximize death and destruction. The person who did this in the early morning hours is a coward who was making some sort of statement. The bomber chose this particular time because he lacked the testicular fortitude to confront the recruiters with his violence, and act that would have allowed them to dispatch him in short order.
We live in a free country because our freedoms are protected by a class of people who are a cut above the average citizen. Our military is not out enforcing law or imposing the will of the government upon the people. It is protecting us so that we may live as we wish, within the confines of our laws and customs. This bombing shows that some people cannot live within the confines of our laws and must use illegal means to make a statement. It also has the potential to incite others to step up their attacks from nonviolent protest to something quite dangerous. How long will it be before the recruiting office in Berkeley is targeted by a “peaceful” protester?
Was this is an act of war perpetrated by a person or persons intent on disrupting the operation of our military and its mission or was it an act of violence that will not escalate or be mimicked? If it was the latter then the police need to catch the criminal and he needs to be sent to prison for a long time. If it is the former and war is being declared on our military by a cowardly force intent on disruption than they should be aware that our military specializes in war and the violent destruction of those intent on causing harm. If it is war they want, just say the word and we will give them more than they can handle.
The dope smoking, long haired, hippies were able to mistreat our military back during and after the Vietnam War. We will not allow this to happen again. No matter who the attacker is, aged hippie or the misguided youth, we will not allow them to attack with impunity.
Not on my watch.

Berkeley Knows that Money Talks
Feb 7, 2008 Military, Political
The city of Berkeley is taking a slightly different position on their feelings toward the Marines there. It seems they now believe that their words were a little harsh and, of course, they never intended to insult the Marines. This is all a bunch of horse dung because they know exactly what they wrote and they know exactly what it would do. They have changed their opinions, at least the ones they express publicly, because of one thing; MONEY.
Six Republican Senators are working on a plan to remove all federal funding from Berkeley. This will include money for the school lunch program and money for the university as well as anything else our tax dollars pay for. This is reasonable given that certain behaviors are expected by those entities that receive federal money. Of course, the liberal dingbats Sen. Barbara Boxer and Rep. Barbara Lee said they would fight the bill. Where were these two when the city was harassing the Marines? They were silent when their fellow moonbats were messing with the best people that town has ever had in it and yet they are now going to have a say in this. Screw them both. There is an acronym that applies to them; Can’t Understand Normal Thinking.
We should keep the pressure on Berkeley and they should have their federal funds withdrawn for an undetermined amount of time. When they learn that they have to behave a certain way to get the money then we can think about sending it. I still want everyone to boycott the place. Stay away from there and do not do business there. Let the moonbats there support the businesses.
I also want to mention that the Marines did absolutely nothing to anyone. They have done their jobs each and every day and they are not clashing with protesters nor are they out stirring up trouble. God knows they have every right to go out and rid the Earth of the slimy vermin that cause all the problems but they have not. So I take issue with this statement made by a moonbat in the school system:
Ann Cooper with the Berkeley Unified School District wants both sides to play nice.
“Senators sitting 3,000 miles away are trying to take food away from the children of Berkeley,” said Cooper. “Why? Because the Marines and the city aren’t playing nice — and that’s just not OK.” NBC11.com
Ms. Cooper, the Marines are not playing at all. This issue is about a bunch of moonbat protesters and a bunch of moonbat politicians that have decided to harass the Marines. You can try to pin some of the blame on them but it is inaccurate and misleading. Also, the Senators are not trying to take food away from kids. They are trying to teach you moonbats that you have to do certain things to get federal money and you folks in Berkeley are not doing them.
Besides, obesity is the number one health issue with our children. Either the government is feeding them too much or they get all the food they need elsewhere. Either way, they will not starve to death. Maybe the enlightened liberal elite there can come up with any money you all need.
Boycott Berkeley.
Berkeley to Reconsider Position on Marines
Feb 5, 2008 Political
The pressure from pro military groups and the right wing blogosphere has caused the folks in Berkeley California to reconsider the actions they took last week. in that action they said the Marines were not welcome there and then they gave preference to Code Pink with regard to parking and protests.
Some in Berkeley think that the city should not change what it has done while others feel it was wrong and should be corrected. no doubt, the backlash has caused them some problems and the threat to take away federal money must be looming large.
I don’t care what they decide, I will never visit there and I encourage all people to boycott that cesspool of a city. Let all the tie dye wearing, dope smoking, worn out, hippies drown in their own vomit.
I bet if they were ground zero on 9/11 they would have a different opinion. But, as usual, the terrorists hit the wrong target.
Keep the pressure on the scumbags.

Boycott Berkeley
Jan 31, 2008 Military
Who would have ever thought that a city in the United States would view members of the military as uninvited and unwelcome intruders? Well it has happened and while that might be a bit of a surprise, where it happened will surprise no one. Berkeley California has decided that the Marines at a recruiting station there are not welcome and they have done so with a 6-3 vote after which the Mayor stated:
“I believe in the Code Pink cause. The Marines don’t belong here, they shouldn’t have come here, and they should leave,” said Berkeley Mayor Tom Bates after votes were cast. Contra Costa Times
Unless I missed something that cesspool of a city is still in the US so how can Marines not belong there. The Marines are part of a group of people who made it possible for the idiots in Berkeley to say what they want and to vote this way. The Marines are doing their job and to their credit none of them have beat the hell out of the protesters who harass them all the time.
The City Council there also gave code pink a free parking space in front of the station and a free unlimited noise permit for certain times so that the group can continue to harass the Marines who have shown remarkable restraint in all this. It is unfortunate that they have to put up with a bunch of aged hippies who go through life stoned while trying to relive the “glory” years of the 60s.
I believe the federal Government should pull the Marines out of there and remove all other military units including National Guard and Reserve Units. Then the government should stop all federal money from going to the town. Not one damned cent should go there. I have read where many are saying that if a disaster occurred there that people would be begging for military support and those folks said the military should refuse to go. The reality is the people who serve are much better than the self serving twits who infest that city and they would go help to make sure their fellow citizens were helped. The military would be there for the very people who want them out.
I know I will never visit that place and I would like to see all other real Americans boycott the place. Let the liberal twits who agree with them buy from them. Don’t go there and if you absolutely have to be there for any reason then don’t buy anything. If the place gets hit with an earthquake or fire then don’t send your money to help them and if you belong to a fire department do not volunteer to go help. I imagine if the place was burning they would be begging for military helicopters to do water drops. Screw them.
Maybe the next time a terrorist decides to fly a plane into a building we will be lucky and it will be the City Council in Berkeley and get rid of the mindless twits that pretend to be Americans.
I am tired of people who treat the members of the military badly but have no problems living under the blanket of freedom afforded by those very members.
Let’s ship them to Club Gitmo!
Boycott Berkeley! Let’s save the seals and club Code Pinko members instead.

Toto, I Don’t Think We’re in Berkeley Anymore
Oct 18, 2007 Military
Not long ago a group of anti war hags from Code Pinko vandalized a Marine recruiting station in Berkeley California. They put their anti war crap all over the outside of the place and their intent was to drive the recruiters out of that bastion of liberal stupidity. Anti war protesters from CodePINK, Grandmothers Against the War, Berkeley East Bay Gray Panthers, Women in Black as well as others ran into a little roadblock this week when groups of pro America patriots who support the troops and their mission showed up to counter the protest.
The anti war moonbats were outnumbered 2:1 and were kept far away from the recruiting station by people who support the military and its mission. About 500 people showed up to keep the moonbats at bay and to ensure they did not vandalize the station again. Of course, they could still sneak back under cover of darkness and put up their communist propaganda but the message was loud and clear, this is not your father’s Berkeley.
One of the grannies complained that she was manhandled by one of the good guys. I was not there but I have doubts about this. The good guys do not usually get physical unless they are attacked first. When I have gone with the Gathering of Eagles it is usually the peaceful people who push, shove and taunt the pro troop counter protesters. If I had to bet I would say granny tried to get past them to the recruiting office and was stopped. Here is what granny had to say:
One of the peace advocates, Sheila Goldmacher, a Berkeley woman with Grandmothers Against the War, said she was pushed and shoved by the flag-wavers. “They have a right to be here — they do not have the right to be thugs,” she said. Contra Costa Times
As I stated, I doubt she was assaulted because no one was arrested and I am sure that if the police there would have seen any abuse they would have taken care of it. In any event, let us restate granny’s words to put them back on her. Granny, you have a right to be there but you do not have the right to vandalize the recruiting station.
Any questions?
