   Unlike the Pinkos, the Eagles Up members and bikers had to obtain a permit for their event.

   Why?

   The group that organized today’s protest, Eagles Up, had to pay for their permit.

   Why??

   …the Berkeley city council decision in February to waive the amplified-sound permit fees and provide reserved parking in front of the Marines’ office for Code Pink…

   Why???

   In Melanie Morgan’s email:

   The most fun I had on the ride over to Shattuck Square was going through the residential neighborhoods of Berkeley. The bike pipes set off car alarms, burglar alarms, and alerted the crackheads, ho’s, smelly hippies, and peaceniks that our seriously determined pro-troops Americans were in town to tell them to leave our Marines the hell alone.

   Love it!

   As a former Marine Sergeant, I want to thank all of you for standing with us. Out here in the Jacksonville area, we have a great deal of support because of the heavy Navy population.

   But that still doesn’t stop certain miscreants from displaying their ignorance (which can be fixed) and stupidity (which cannot) in other parts of the nation. Thanks to all for your kind words, support, and help through all the ages.

   May God Almighty protect our armed forces as they protect us.

   Till there be no enemy but peace….

   Um, question…

   If the Code Pinkos don’t have to pay for a permit, and the Pro America groups do…

   Are there grounds for an Equal Protection lawsuit? They are not treating citizens equaly…

   Seems like a slam dunk to me. Hit Berkely where it really hurts, in the pocket book!

    You guys are awesome! Thank you.

    Isn’t it discrimination to make one group pay for a permit and not another, for the exact same thing? Isn’t this illegal according to the articles or whatever of the city council?

    I live just north of Berkeley. I was amused to read a local columnist in the little local weekly we get here in the East Bay Hills calling for people to please stop the boycott of Berkeley. The columnist complained that we shouldn’t hold Berkeley businesses “hostage” to our political beliefs. He says Berkeley businesses are losing tons of money, laying off workers, and generally in sort of a panic mode over the lost income.

    That’s the point of a boycott.

    I emailed him and told him no way were we going to stop this. People who live in Berkeley and own businesses there either support the city council or they don’t. If they do, then they are getting what they deserve. If not, then they ought to be on the phone to the city government EVERY DAY until the resolution is overturned. If someone owns a business in Berkeley but does not live there, they should STILL be on the phone to scream at the council for the loss of income.

    Either way, it’s up to them. We are holding fast.

    It’s sad, really, I am five minutes from Solano Ave, with dozens of restaurants, including some of my favorites.

    I’ll do without. Let’s see how long it takes.

    This is great news! Our politicians can’t stop the pork from rolling in, so private citizens take matters into their hands.

    Kudos and respect to the great people of Berkeley,sending a much needed message to the anti-American crowd.

    “I don’t like what Berkeley’s done. They don’t realize the effect it has on the troops.”

    Beautiful post, and great pictures. I do have to disagree on only one small point. Berkeley CC and the anti-troop, hate mongers who reside there do know exactly what they are doing. They either don’t care that it has a negative impact on the troops, or they are getting the exact outcome they want. They hate the military — it’s plain and simple fact.

    Just look at these Liberals. Look at all of them. They are just pure ugly. Their aesthetics are hideous. When you see them out there “protesting”, it is very rare that you see one that is not ugly, or dressed like they didn’t get dragged through a cat’s butt. Yet when you see the Conservative side, they are generally good looking, clean cut, well groomed, clean shaven, well dressed etc.

    What is it about the Left that makes them so ugly? Could it actually be all that hatred that they have inside them that amkes them so ugly? Is there a warehouse someplace with a bunch of portraits of every single Liberal in this country, slowly getting more beautiful every day?

    It isn’t just the rank and file Liberals either. Look at the spokespersons. Look at the Liberal Pundits they have on TV. Just look at Estrich, at O’Donnell, at Helen Thomas…

    They are so filled with the ugliness of hate, of racism, af bigotry, of violence, of lies that it has spilled out of them and into their appearance. Ugly us as ugly does and these Liberals, these Leftists, these Socialists are just plain ugly inside and out. however what is worse…they are PROUD of their ugliness. Proud as can be.

    Michelle, I became a Soldiers Angel because I refuse to allow the pinkos of the world to do to today’s heroes what they did to the heroes of my generation. I had two wounded warriors here at my home tonight for dinner, which is not unusual. Hubby and I have our “kids” over about once a week. We live near San Antonio where a multitude of wounded warriors are recovering. Thank you for spotlighting this group of motorcyclists.

    In the past, in the 50′s & 60′s, and most notably in the 70′s, motorcycle “gangs” were society’s “refuse”, the reprobates who were rejected by society.

    After Viet Nam, my generation’s heroes who fought valiantly and were winning the war until the code-pinko types took control of the media and rejected them as “baby-killers” [there will be a special place in hell for the likes of John sKerry] joined the heretofore ranks of “reprobates” known as bikers, and raised that appellation “biker” to a new and exhalted level. God bless the Freedom Riders, et al.

    As a retired AF NCO and former recruiter, I really want to thank all of those who showed up here–you have no idea how those Marine recruiters sitting in that office feel when they look out their window and see all these folks supporting them–Wow, their morale is soaring and they are lifted up! Thanks to Protest Shooter for a great photo album! Eagles Up and Semper Fi. My best photo? The guy with the leather jacket that had Operation Iraqi Freedom patches all over it!!!

    I first like to say God Bless all those who attended the gathering, they brought a tear to my eyes, to see so many good people support the Troops and their Families.

    I was looking at the photos posted on the Zombie site and I noticed something. Please correct me if I am wrong, but the photo of the three parking enforcement meter maids and their two vehicles were in front of a fire hydrant were they not? And if I am correct why were they not fined and had their vehicles towed away? I think any who might have been towed that day should show that photo in court, if I am correct that is.

    Thanks again to everyone who showed up to support the Troops and their Families and I look forward to more gathering like that.
