Berkeley's at it again

Seems the wackos in Rico's old home town have decided to push a little harder on the Marines to get out of their fair city.
According to Michelle Malkin, "The City of Berkeley, California has passed two resolutions attacking the United States Marine Corps, calling the Marines 'uninvited and unwelcome intruders in the city'. The Berkeley City Council voted to condemn the Marines on Tuesday night (January 29th) as part of a campaign by anti-war activists to shut down a U.S. Marine Recruiting Center located in the city of Berkeley."
"One of the two resolutions passed by the Berkeley City Council last night granted a parking spot in front of the Marine Recruiting Center to be used by anti-military activists to harass Marine recruiters. The anti-military activists would not need to apply for a sound permit for the next six months – allowing them free reign to disrupt the day-to-day operations by the Marines."

Rico says the feds should figure out they're not wanted, and pull out. Of course, they should also pull every other Federal office, job, program, and funding out of Berkeley as well. Let's see how Berkeley likes being the Gaza Strip of Northern California...

That didn't take long. Seems a senator is already on the job: "Today, U.S. Senator Jim DeMint (R-South Carolina) released the following statement in response to the decision by the City Council of Berkeley, California to evict the U.S. Marine Corps Recruiting Station from the city: This is a slap in the face to all brave service men and women and their families. The First Amendment gives the City of Berkeley the right to be idiotic, but from now on they should do it with their own money. If the city can’t show respect for the Marines that have fought, bled and died for their freedom, Berkeley should not be receiving special taxpayer funded handouts. I am currently drafting legislation to ensure that American taxpayers aren’t forced to pay for this insult by rescinding all of the earmarks for Berkeley in the Omnibus Appropriations bill, and to transfer the funds to the Marine Corps.”
