Berkeley City Council chewing over repealing anti-Marines resolution

A bear diet consists of liberals and Dems...We need to drastically increase the numbers of bears in America, especially in key spots such as the Berkeley campus. From a hate e-mail read by ecologist Marc Gaede, friend of Timothy Treadwell, the subject of the documentary "Grizzly Man."

Okay, maybe we shouldn't let grizzly bears lose in northern California so they can end up like the well-meaning, but deranged, Treadwell. He spent 13 summers living with bears in Alaska until one ate him, but some pressure should be kept on the Berkeley, California City Council as they consider tonight whether withrdaw a resolution about a US Marines recruiting which the body said "is not welcome in the city, and if recruiters choose to stay, they do so as uninvited and unwelcome intruders."

The radical group Code Pink received a permit for a parking spot and a sound permit by the City Council to protest the Marines presence there.

Fortunately, Move America Forward has been there all day to put the pressure on the council, and to show Berkeleyites that there are other viewpoints other than the "America Sucks" one.

I'm optimistic things will be worked out tonight. If they're not, to paraphrase Mr. Burns in The Simpsons, then release the bears.

The Radio Patriot has a lot more. And as I noted this morning, ThirdWaveDave is part of the Move America Forward protest.
