IconI have had it with Berkeley, California, that anti-American bastion of disloyalty to the values and existence of the United States of America. In February, 2008, the Berkeley City Council approved a measure calling for Marine recruiters to leave Berkeley, because they "are not welcome in our city." If recruiters chose to stay, they would do so as "uninvited and unwelcome intruders." The Council also applauded any residents or organizations that "volunteer to impede, passively or actively, by non-violent means, the work of any military recruiting office located in the City of Berkeley."  And a handful of folks did just that - some held up signs which said "No Military Predators in Our Town," or "Join the Marines.  Travel to Exotic Lands.  Meet Exciting and Unusual People - and Kill Them."

IconI am very big on the concept of tolerance.  I tell folks every day on my radio program to "tolerate" the eccentricities of others as they tolerate yours.  However, I fear that in the private and public sectors, tolerance is being spelled "C-O-W-A-R-D-I-C-E." More >>
