Berkeley Finds a New Way to Make War Politics Local
The Berkley City Council has passed a resolution allowing a group called "Code Pink" to use the parking spot outside the Marine Recruiter's office four hours, one afternoon a week, for the next six months. They've also instructed their city attorney to find a way to run the Marines out of town.
So, to the women of code pink. Protest the war, try to change the electorate, use all the peaceful methods at your disposal to protest. DO NOT BLAME THE MARINES, SOLDIERS, SAILORS AND AIRMEN! "Make Out, Not War." Not even original but much more politically correct than "Make Love, Not War." And to the Berkley City Council, shame on you. That's about all I can say, shame on you.
The last thing we need today are a bunch of aging hippies fondly remembering their Viet Nam War protests, spitting on veterans when they return. You know who you are.
This article embodies everything wrong with the supposed Intellectual Elites running our universities. Why have an informed debate and talk about the issues when you can get your city council to pass a meaningless ordinance and blame the soldier. Let's be honest, intellectual honesty in our institutions of higher learning has been dead for some time (see my earlier post about the University of Deleware). This just confirms my worst suspicions.
Oh, by the way, electing Hillary will change nothing. We're in Iraq and we're going to be there for decades. I don't like her but she's smart enough to know pulling out at this point will be counterproductive. Are you?
