Berkeley makes no decision....

Well, one of my last couple of postings, I wrote about how the Berkeley City Council was going to consider a request for a protest permit from the College Republicans such that the College Republicans could get equal protest status as has been granted to Code Pink. The city council held their meeting on 5/20/08. The proposal was put forth for the consideration by the City Council. The Berkeley City Council notes that each member of the City Council received a request for the permit. However, no decision was made by the City Council at this time. Basically, it was tabled for future consideration. Hmmm. I wonder how long it took for them to come to a decision regarding the permits for Code Pink? Oh, I could look, but honestly, it's not worth my time. I suspect that it was likely run through without much discussion. However, the fact that the decision to grant an equal permit for the College Republicans as was granted to Code Pink was delayed is not as suprising as something else.

Council member Kriss Worthington wrote the memo for the decision. One of the items on the agenda for the evening was the question about a free speech zone, and if a free speech zone existed, where was it. The response was the following: "My personal opinion is that the free speech zone is the United States of America." Really? So, is that why the City Council decided to not make a decision on the College Republicans getting equal protest permit access? Hmmm, they're gonna have a hard time convincing me they believe in free speech if they pull that crap.

Further Council person Worthington goes on to say that they think it's a waste of money and resources to dedicate more cops than protestors for non-violent and peaceful protesting. Really? I take it Council Person Worthington believes that Code Pink is peaceful? So, is that why the Marine Recruiting Station has had to close their doors at times to keep the peaceful protestors out? I got news for the City Council, the protesters are not peacefully assembling when they bloke people from going into the recruitment center, nor is it peaceful when they fill the city side walks, henceforth blocking people from using the side walks. Nor is it legal for them to fill the streets thereby blocking traffic. Now, of these things, I know that Code Pink has tried to keep people from going into the recruitment center. I know their crowd gets mighty big and that usually would take up most normal side walks.

So, I don't know that I will continue to monitor this situation or not. I have my suspicions that it will be a waste of time. However, I may peek on there from time to time, just to see what decision has been made, if any. Of course, if Liberals were truly Liberal, they would most certainly want equal access granted to the College Republicans immediately because they would certainly want all view points allowed out there, even ones they don't agree with. Right? I mean, they do brag about their tolerance for other views right?

Well, I guess if the shoe fits....

What we apparently have here, is someone with a huge ego. Obviously larger than his brain cavity at least. Recently, Democratic Nomination hopeful Barack Obama decided that when President Bush made comments about the foolishness of negoiating with terrorists, that naturally, President Bush was referring to him. Why? What makes you think you're so special that President Bush would out-right be talking about you? You're seriously not that special are you? I don't know, maybe you are. At least in your mind.

President Bush's actual comment is as follows and can be found rom many sources, Conservative (foxnews.com and Foxnews) as well as Liberal (everything else including most if not all newspapers, Air America, CNN, MSNBC and just about everything else known to man and the God Libs apparently don't believe in enough due to a savage fear of children in school only being allowed to be told that Evolution is the only way) is as follows: “Some seem to believe we should negotiate with terrorists and radicals, as if some ingenious argument will persuade them they have been wrong all along…We have heard this foolish delusion before. As Nazi tanks crossed into Poland in 1939, an American senator declared: ‘Lord, if only I could have talked to Hitler, all of this might have been avoided.’ We have an obligation to call this what it is — the false comfort of appeasement, which has been repeatedly discredited by history.”

Now, exactly what about this comment says "Barack"? And, what about this comment is false? It is a fact that some tried to appease Hitler, foolishly believing that they alone could have prevented the slaughter of Jews that followed, as well as the domination of much of Europe at the time by Hitler. Now, we have a new Hitler, by his own words, who says that Israel should be "wiped off the map". This, of course, would be the President of Iran, Ahmadinejad.

There is nothing even close that would suggest President Bush was specifically talking about Senator Obama. President Bush speaks about this delusion of "let's talk to the terrorists and see what we can do to change their thinking." Well, let's look at that thinking for a second. Let's imagine a conversation between a terrorist nation and a Liberal politician trying to talk to them. I'll include nations, and individuals.

Iran: We want to kill all the Jews.

Liberal: But certainly, even though they have a different blief system than you, you can see that they have a right to exist?

Iran: All Jews must die.

Liberal: But they're a soverign nation, it is important to see that they seek peace and to exist, just as you do.

Iran: They should be wiped off the map. The whole country of Israel should be wiped off the map. The Holocaust is a myth, it never happened.

Liberal: How can we help your two nations to get along?

Iran: Help us kill the Jews and destroy Israel.

Liberal: But they're people just like you, only different beliefs.

Iran: Kill Israel, they should be destroyed, all killed.

Note that there's not much change here. Iran, and their president, have a one track mind. Period. There's no changing their mind. They've stated their position, talking to them isn't working here. Another example.

Bin Ladden: Americans must die, you're all infidels.

Liberal: Certainly we can live in peace, we admit that we have wronged the Muslims many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many (infinite) times in the past.

Bin Ladden: For which you must all accept Islam, your women should be repressed, you all need to die.

Liberal: But women have rights in our culture.

Bin Ladden: Then you all die. We should kill you all. You all need to die.

Ok, I think this has run it's course. Clearly, Bin Ladden is not interested in negoiating here. He wants to kill us. So Mr. Liberal, how can you negoiate with that? You can't. You either accept the fact terrorists and terrorist nation, want to do what they want to do, or you're wasting your time talking to them. They won't listen. I'd do an example with former President Carter and his attempted appeasement of Hamas and their desire to kill off all the Jews in Israel, but I think you'd get the point. Libs wouldn't, but intelligent people would.

In any case, it is only the Liberals who want to talk with people who want to kill others. So, let me ask. How'd that work in WWII? Not so good huh? Hitler pretty much did what he wanted. In modern times, Former President Carter tried talking to the leader of Hamas and boasted about a peace deal he alone reached. Yeah, thanks Jimbo. Worked out great apparently as Hamas is still committed to killing the Jews.

Barack doesn't seem to think President Bush was talking about anyone but him. I thought Obama knew who Carter was and that Carter tried to appease Hamas. Certainly Obama knew that San Fran Nan (Nancy Pelosi) tried to go and talk Syria out of being a terrorist nation. Yeah, I don't recall that working so well either. So, time and again, it's been demonstrated that negoiating with terrorists doesn't work. Yet, Libs want to keep at it. How about another example? We tried, through the U.N., to talk Iran out of developing nuclear technology for "energy" and "not for nuclear weapons". Yeah right, I'm sure that Iran has no intention of nuking Israel, even though they've repeated, and it has been documented even in Liberal circles, that they believe Israel should be wiped off the planet. Perhaps Iran will send all of their nuclear electricity to Israel in the hopes all the homes will be over loaded and catch fire and they'll all burn to death? Naw, probably just nuke them. In any case, the U.N. talking with Iran and placing sanctions on them didn't work. Yet, you've still got Libs, of which Obama is one mind you, that think they are smooth talkers and can talk anyone out of anything. Yeah, well, I'm not sure Israel feels comfy with that, and I don't either cause your track record on that so far is lousy!

Obama says that at a time when Israel is celebrating their 60th anniversary as a nation, it's a poor way to celebrate it by President Bush and John McCain firing a personal attack at him. Really. Again Barack, YOUR NAME WAS NEVER MENTIONED! If the shoe fits though, I guess you're feeling guilty for some reason. Perhaps it's because you didn't want intelligent people to know you'd bend over for terrorists and state "thank you sir, may I please have another?". You've already stated you'd talk to terrorist, specifically you said you'd "meet with nations like Iran without preconditions." Just what do you plan to tell them that will make them change their minds? See my scenarios above if you really have to wonder.

It is entirely foolish, and arrogant, that any Liberal politican feels that they can save the world with a little heart to heart. It's been tried and it doesn't work. They repeatedly demonstrate it does, the most recent, of course, is former President Carter. Ah, but why is that not being talked about in the Non-Liberally Biased Media? Because, to do so, would make Senator Obama stutter. Obama says he will debate President Bush and John McCain anytime, anywhere and that they "have a lot to answer for". I welcome that Senator Obama. I heartily welcome that. I'd love to hear you justify why you think you alone can convince terrorist nations how wrong they are and you and your Lib friends can get them to change their minds! If the shoe fits Senator Obama, then wear it. Personal attack indeed.

Dying to be acknowledged, and relevant to anything...

Undoubtedly, you've heard of Code Pink. This would be a Anti-War Protest group that, essentially, the Berkeley City Council in Berkeley, California granted special access to. Certainly, you remember about September 2007 when the City Council sent a letter to the local Marine Recruiting Center telling them they were no longer welcome there in Berkeley and that, basically, we'd like you to vacate. For the unlearned Liberal, they wanted the Marines to leave.

Now, as if that wasn't bad enough, they then granted all kinds of permits to Code Pink to set up protesting across the street. Now, Code Pink has a federally protected Constitutional Right to peacefully protest. That's fine, I have no problem with that. However, I do have a problem with the local City Council basically telling the Marines to get out, try to spin it that that is not what they were really doing, and then bend over backwards to do everything that can to get Code Pink right across the street. Now, Code Pink, as well as the City Council, should remember that if not for the Marines, the City Council wouldn't be doing anything, and Code Pink would have no right to protest. Yet, they wish to bit the hand that feeds them.

Since this whole controversy began, members of the Federal Congress have basically said no problem, you can protest, but, if you do that, especially since the City Counsel was asking them to essentially leave, federal funding was going to be pulled. I believe this was appropriate. If the City Council didn't appreciate the Marines being there anymore, well then, there's no point in troubling the city with the federal funding they receive either, huh? So, Berkeley was in line to lose millions as I understand it. Shortly afterwards, Berkeley rescinded their request and displeasure of the Marines Recruiting Center, never apologized to the Marines for it, and tried to spin the whole thing that they didn't really ask them to leave, which was really a lie. They essentially said that they didn't want them there. So, in all fairness, I guess they stopped just shy of asking them to leave, but nonetheless, that was the spirit of what they were asking.

Fast forward to this last Friday. Code Pink, constantly running short of ideas to even get any recognition because they are more frequently getting forgotten, decided as part of their daily theme to get attention, decided that the theme this Friday should be "witches". Pick a word that rhymes with witches, add stupid in front of it, and that's my opinion of Code Pink. They actually had people dress up in witch hats and "cast spells" on the Marines. Cast spells! According to Foxnews.com, the numbers of those protesting with Code Pink against the war have been dwindeling and they rarely get any media attention anymore. Basically, you're old news, no one cares about you anymore. But, Libs believe in Evolution right? Survival of the fittest, right? Well, maybe Code Pink just ain't fit no more!

I have one question for Code Pink. HOW DESPERATE FOR ATTENTION ARE YOU?! They say that they don't support the war, but they support the troops, yet, they're casting spells on the troops? Hmmm. I have no idea why anyone would think they're unpatriotic. Yep, I COMPLETELY question their patriotism. No doubt in my mind. When you start to resort to casting spells on our troops and those whose job is to get more troops, yep, you're unpatriotic in my opinion. The protesting is fine, but casting spells? Morons.

"Women are coming to cast spells and do rituals and to impart wisdom to figure out how we're going to end war," Zanne Sam Joi of Bay Area Code Pink told FOXNews.com. So, you're going to cast spells at those that are fighting to protect your freedoms to end the war. So, what spells will ye cast to keep the terrorists from A). coming over to America to bomb the crap out of you and B). fill the void left by you demanding our troops coming home. I wonder if Code Pink realizes that if the Muslim Terrorists come to the U.S. and take over our country, that they (Code Pink) will not be allowed the freedoms they have now? Do they realize they'll be FORCED to cover themselves. They'll not be allowed to vote, they'll not be allowed to show their faces, they'll not be allowed to go to school, they'll not be allowed to be in public with any men other than their husbands or male family members (it would be considered adultery and they'd be stoned to death for it)? Perhaps Code Pink should use the lump of crap between their ears and give it some thought. They need to begin using their brains for something other than hair fertilizer.

If you'd like to see Code Pink in action, demonstrating their pathetic desire for attention and relevance in a world that doesn't care about them, please view through this link. http://www.foxnews.com/protestcam/ . It will have a live, 24 hour a day stream of the Marine Recruiting center.

However, this last week was full of themes. On Tuesday, Code Pink's theme was "fierce mothers raging against war," Joi said, to talk about all the mothers killed and raped in war. Wednesday's theme was "bring your daughter to the protest," where daughters explained why they don't want their parents fighting the war. Thursday is "sisters don't allow sisters to live in war zones" day, and the week wraps up Friday with "witches, crones and sirens" day.

Now, let's look at Tuesday. Fierce Mothers raging against war. It's supposed to be about mothers killed and raped in the war huh? So, where was Code Pink then, I wonder, when, under Saddam, there was torture of women, mothers getting raped and killed, as well as daughters, and women in general? What, that was ok, because the U.S. wasn't involved? Hmm. Interesting ethics. Ok, how about Thursday. Sisters don't allow sisters to be in war zones. Really? So, why is Code Pink not protesting the gang violence that seems to be a daily part of life in Israel for example? Hmmm? How about the war zone that is L.A.? What's that? Sounds like a Cricket. Not a word huh? Amazing! Seems they have very subjective ideas about violence and raping. Apparently, it's only violence and raping if the U.S. is involved, but, if it happens by others, not the U.S., then it's ok. After all, I've not heard them speak out against women killed in Israel by Muslim Terrorists (Palestinian terrorists) or the violence and raping against women in Iraq by Terrorists (Saddam or otherwise). Not a peep actually. Interesting.

Interestingly enough, a local group of College Republicans are protesting against Code Pink and have applied for the same parking permits that Code Pink was granted by the Berkeley City Council. This will be voted upon on 5/20/08. It will be interesting to see how the City Council votes on this. Will they allow the same freedom to protest, and freedom of speech, that they have especially granted to Code Pink? If they deny the permit, it would appear the City Council has an agenda. If they do grant it, which I will predict they won't, then I guess they really do believe in fairness. Yeah, right. I will keep you abreast of this when it happens.
