People demand freedom of speech as a compensation for the freedom of thought which they seldom use.

Ok this is just a tirade; I have been following the news coming out of Berkley, now I have always known they are just a bastion of super liberals, but they have offended me to the core. I know this nation was founded on basic freedoms that we know, and love, but these folks went too far. When a city council give special privileges to a group whose sole agenda is to discredit our military, I’m speaking of the special parking permit in front of the recruiting office, and a special noise permit so they can make all the noise they want. I can’t see this city council giving the same privileges to, oh let’s say Nabors Industries Ltd., in case you didn’t know this is one of the companies’s that wants to drill in Alaska.

There is very little I can do to make the situation better, but the one thing I did was I called all the congressional people for my state, and ask them to support the bill to pull several million dollars from the federal funds that go to Berkley California, highway funds and such. As with most self righteous people, this might be the only way to make them realize that the military is the only thing that protects those freedoms they value so much. But I doubt it, stupid is as stupid does.
