Berkeley City Council Update: No Más


The e-mails and phone calls have been relentless, and members of the Berkeley City Council are starting to wane. The City Council of Berkeley, like most Liberals, lacks the commitment to finish what they started, due in large part because they suffer from SADS (Socialist Attention Deficit Syndrome). Liberals lack the attention span to stick with one cause, preferring to jump to whatever the “next great socialist craze” is.

Berkeley City Council Wavering

Councilwoman Dona Spring said the council should not be cowed by the volume of hate mail and threats. Typical, whenever someone opposes a Progressive (or Socialist, Liberal, Communist…or whatever new identifier they create) that person is ignorant, intolerant, or “insert the name of your cause here”-phobic. Now is the time to increase the heat. Continue sending e-mails and making phone calls, especially to Ms. Spring, so that each of these city councils regrets their support of this insulting resolution.

Berkeley Police Department: "We are trying to stay Neutral (!!???!!)"

As if the actions of the City Council weren’t bad enough, the Berkeley Police Department should be ashamed as well. In an effort to remain “neutral,” the Berkeley Police Department stood by while protester violated numerous laws during their “peaceful protest.”



A police department isn’t Switzerland, and has a duty to enforce the laws. These protesters where allowed to “violate” other peoples civil rights, to a point where violent confrontation was inevitable. Had these been pro-life protesters blocking the entrance to an abortion clinic, I doubt the police officers would have been instructed to remain neutral. It is unlikely that these officers took this course of action on their own. I am sure that the City Council instructed the Police Chief that his officers should take a “hands off approach” when dealing with the protesters. Maybe we can use the video footage from Berkeley for a new reality-based show called “When Liberals Attack!”
