Jim DeMint In Response To Anti-Military Ordinance: No Federal Funds For Berkley

I’m on board.

WASHINGTON — U.S. Sen. Jim DeMint, R-S.C., says the City of Berkeley, Calif., no longer deserves federal money.

DeMint was angered after learning that the Berkeley City Council voted this week to tell the U.S. Marine Corps to remove its recruiting station from the city’s downtown.

“This is a slap in the face to all brave service men and women and their families,” DeMint said in a prepared statement. “The First Amendment gives the City of Berkeley the right to be idiotic, but from now on they should do it with their own money.”

“If the city can’t show respect for the Marines that have fought, bled and died for their freedom, Berkeley should not be receiving special taxpayer-funded handouts,” he added.

Of course, a federalist would ask why Berkley is receiving special federal-tax-funded “handouts” regardless of the city’s stance on military recruiters.

That’s my junior Senator.  He is a real man!

REAGAN REPUBLICANS AND KENNEDY DEMOCRATS IN REVOLT AGAINST NEO-CONS AND NEO-LIBS

Just as the Ronald Reagan Conservatives are revolting to crush the Podhoretz Neo-Conservatives; the John Kennedy Liberals are revolting to crush the Leiberman Neo-Liberals; and the leading Libertarian Republicans, dauntless guardians of the rule the American Constitution, are drawing their growing rebel forces from the ranks of young energetic conservatives and liberals. 

The endorsement of Neo-Con McCain and Neo-Lib Hillary, by the New York Times, exemplifies this desperate struggle by the Neo-Con/Neo-Lib news media to retain control over the wealth and blood of the American People, by hook or by crook. Similarly, Neo-Lib Leiberman’s notorious endorsement of Neo-Con McCain was an attempt to unite the Neo-Lib and Neo-Con supporters against the Conservatives and the Liberals.  The recent endorsement, by Neo-Con loser Giuliani, was expected.

These insidious Neo-Cons and Neo-Libs, victims of their own culturally subversive ideology and political corruption, with the traditional conservatives and liberals now rebelling to expel them from their niches of power in government, education, and news media are in panic; their fear and loathing of the America People having become their self-fulfilling prophecy. 

It is the beautiful dawn of the American Reformation; and the beginning of the End of the Era of the Ugly American; and whole wide World is watching and cheering.

Just sent e mail to both of my Senators politely urging them to jump on board with with Senator DeMint.

Quoting those famous words from the daily kos “screw them” (them being Berkely)


"we should select our leaders on principle first, electability second.”

Jeugenen,

You’re not quite as subtle as you think you are, even for a Paulbot.

Rob,

Most SWAT teams receive federal funds.  I would guess that goes for Berkeley’s SWAT team too.  Ironically, they probably train with the military on occasion as most SWAT teams do from time to time.

Good point, kbiel, on both counts.

Having personally seen these Berkelites in action, I doubt they ever considered that.

We’re recruiting kids too dumb to know any better.

Go ahead, it might keep them out of trouble for 5 more minutes.
