TweetCalls renewed to fix Berkeley’s citizen boards
Code Pink(o) wanted to draw attention to the Marines Recruiting Efforts in the city of Berkely, a known hippy haven. Well they have succeeded. And they have also cost the city 200,000 dollars in overtime so far, along with lost revenue to businesses in Berkely being boycotted. As well as a few businesses who are leaving the city altogether. YAY CAPITALISM!! Suck it, libtards!
Berkeley is finding that having its own foreign policy isn’t cheap. The city’s recent dustup with the U.S. Marine Corps has so far cost the city more than $200,000, while businesses say they’ve been slammed by related protests.
And that’s on top of the $1 million the city spends annually on domestic and foreign policy matters hatched by its 45 citizen commissions, which outnumber those in virtually every other city in America and debate everything from regime change in Iran to the plight of nonneutered dogs.
“We in Berkeley have one of the top universities in the world, which brings in people from more than 100 countries. Delving into foreign policy is unavoidable,” said Mike Sherman, a longtime member of the Peace and Justice Commission, which sparked an uproar two months ago with its resolution telling the Marine Corps that its recruiting center was not welcome in the city.
But some business owners, residents and officials say the Marines dispute, which brought international headlines and boycotts, is a perfect illustration of why Berkeley should spend less money on foreign policy and more on filling potholes.
The Daily Review’s website also ran a piece on the story.
Why those liberal retards remain in the US, which they claim to hate so much, is beyond me. They are FREE to leave, perhaps to Iran or Venezuela. Maybe when they protest in one of those countries, and are beaten, arrested, tortured, shot or hanged, maybe they will realize who the bad guys really are. Then again, those imbeciles will probably suggest therapy for their executioners.
