When the City of Berkeley, California sent out a letter referring to its local Marine recruitment personnel as 'unwelcomed intruders,' a firestorm of hostile controvery was ignited against the city all across the country.
At least 6 Senators have promised to pass a bill removing federal funds from Berkeley, a bill which ultra-Leftists such as Sen. Barbara Boxer and Rep. Barbara Lee vow to oppose.
Republicans in the California legislature have vowed to cut off state funds to the city as well.
Apparently the overwhelming disapproval, indignation, and outright disdain for Berkeley has been heard by its Mayor and City Council, who are now discussing either withdrawing the letter altogether or toning down the language.
The Mayor claims they did not mean to offend the military or the families of soldiers but merely wanted to express opposition to the War in Iraq.
Pardon me, Mr. Mayor, but exactly what part of the statement that the U.S. Marines are 'unwelcome intruders' would not be offensive to soldiers and their families?
The fact that you actually believe this statement will be taken seriously means either you are as dumb as a fence-post or you are so blinded by your ultra-Leftwing, Commie ideology that you can't even recognize the blatant insensitivity of your words.
Even if the politicians in Washington and Sacramento accept your 'apology' on the Marine flap, the fact remains that Berkeley is a 'sanctuary city,' giving safe haven to scores of illegal aliens who are breaking the laws of your country. For that reason alone you should lose your federal funding, even if you are granted a reprieve on the Marine insult.
With Berkeley insulting the U.S. Marines and San Francisco banning ROTC programs from their public schools, it there any doubt that much if not most of California is haven to the most extremist of the extreme, America-haters who detest everything we stand for, including our military, while at the same time expecting the protection of our military in the event of a major terrorist incident or an attack on the west coast?
As I have stated many times before, it is time for San Francisco and Berkeley to fend for themselves. If I were making the decisions, you would get NO protection from the U.S. military in the event of an attack, period. Since you obviously detest our soldiers with such a passion, let's see if you can passionately defend yourselves WITHOUT the rest of us having to put our lives on the line for a bunch of spoiled brats who never grow up but who complain constantly about America's strength in the world.
Berkeley can go to hell.

Time to Withdraw Federal Funds from S.F.
If the local San Francisco Supervisor has his way, the city will issue I.D. cards for illegal aliens that will be good at all city agencies and organizations that accept city funding. The Supervisor is also encouraging the city's banks and lending institutions to accept the I.D. card to enable illegals to open accounts.
Supervisor Tom Ammiano is drafting legislation that will create the special I.D. card.
Emphasizing that the card would be available to all people living in San Francisco regardless of their immigration status, Ammiano stated, 'There is a large community who contribute, and there are not a lot of safeguards around their (immigration) status, their peace of mind and their ability to participate.'
San Francisco is already a 'sanctuary city,' defying attempts by the federal government to deport illegal aliens. Within sanctuary cities neither the police nor government agencies assist the federal government in deporting those who break the nation's laws by illegal entry.
As we have stated before on The Liberty Sphere, we strongly urge the U.S. Government to withhold all federal funds from any city in America that defies U.S. law by becoming a 'sanctuary city.' My tax dollars should not be used to fund lawless cities such as San Francisco in its flagrant violations of the laws of the land.
The attempt to give official I.D.s to illegal aliens is simply the final straw. New Haven, Connecticut already has such a program. New York City is considering it.
These I.D. cards do nothing but legitimize law-breakers, allowing them to get free healthcare at city facilities, and making it easier to apply for jobs and bank accounts.
U.S. Representative Tom Tancredo, R-Colorado, had the right idea when he introduced an amendment to a piece of legislation that mandated the withholding of federal funds to sanctuary cities. If municipalities within the United States of America are going to ignore the laws of the country to which they belong, then they should be deprived of the benefits of being a part of that country.
San Francisco has also banned ROTC programs from its high schools because it claims such programs promote 'militarism.'
If this is the case, why don't we help San Francisco rid itself entirely of any vestige of 'militarism' and tell them that from now on, they can provide their own security, and if they are attacked by a foreign entity or a terrorist, they can fend for themselves without the help of those 'militaristic' men and women of the U.S. military who will risk their lives to save their sorry asses.
A word of advice to San Francisco: if you are going to be part of the United States of America, then obey its laws and respect its institutions. If you are not, then simply secede. It won't hurt my feelings in the least.
