Berkeley voters will decide Nov. 7 whether to pass a measure calling for the U.S. House of Representatives to start impeachment proceedings against President George W. Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney.
Measure H reflects the discontent many Berkeley residents have with the president and what critics call his administration’s violations of the constitution, including warrant-less spying on citizens and prisoner abuse in the so-called war on terror.
And Kos is so proud to be a citizen……..
I have an idea. How about a national referendum on ejecting Berkley from the US?
For those who aren’t familiar with it, the People’s Republic of Berzerkely is arguably the most generally insane city in the United States (exceeding even San Francisco). It was taken over in the 60′s and 70′s by a sea of human debris: hippies, drug addicts, bums, socialists, communists, etc. Twenty years ago the city voted itself a “nuclear-free zone”. This accomplishes two things: 1) The Dept. of Energy would never be allowed to transport waste material from nuclear reactors through Berkeley on its way to disposal, as they hate nuclear power (as if it mattered, but the nuts behind this don’t need logic), and 2)No enemy would ever attack Berkeley with a nuke, no terrorist would bring in a nuke, not ever…because it’s against the law in Berkeley!
I am not making this up. These harebrained wackjobs (and I am being kind) actually thought that was a great idea! Of course these are the same people who think gun control laws will stop criminals from using guns
Actually, no enemy of the US would bomb Berkley. They are too much of an internal enemy of the US to destroy. It would be counterproductive to an enemy of the US.
lets declare berkeley a outlaw city and simply expell it from america and that means building wall around it and tearing down the freeway on and off ramps sutting off their electricity and water and having its citizens declaied crinimals NUKE BERKELEY:mad:
3- I did love it when Dennis Miller suggested George Bush invade them:razz:
How about resuming underground nuclear testing all around the borders of Berkley. Anything goes wrong, any mishap, we would’nt have to worry about the lose of human life. Druggie, aged Hippies, Commies, Hitlerites, and other wacked out leftist of Berkley, would probably love inhaling nuclear radition, a new high.
P.s. Lets send Kerry the Fairy, Sot headed Teddie, Hillabeans and her wimpy husband there just before the nuclear testing. The old song “Make the world a better place”
Berzerkeley is the world’s largest zoo, with no fences. I would estimate that 4 out of 5 people there are mentally ill. If it wasn’t for the university there, I’d say go ahead and nuke it.
But then, the University is perhaps the curse. Up until the 1930s or so Berkeley used to be a very nice, sane, beautiful American city. But the University has somewhere around 40,000 students. And in the 60′s it was a magnet for the boomers and the hippies. Many dropped out and stayed in the area, and it just went downhill from there.
Now it is a cesspool.
3- PCD, you are probably right on that point. Berzerkeley is one of the top centers of support for our enemies and nerve center on the West Coast for the 5th column working tirelessly to undermine America.
The Islamofascists would be shooting themselves in the foot to destroy their peeps.
Time to declare war on both the PEOPLES REPUBLIC OF BERKELEY and THE PEOPLES REPUBLIC OF SAN FRANCISCO and have their mayors and city councils tried convicted and shot at dawn and turn them both into vast penal colonies like in the movie ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK:mad::idea:
Snowy egret had a good idea, build a wall around it. Then we could use it to dump nuclear waste from all our nuclear power plants.
You folks are hilarious! Come on down to Berkeley sometime, and we’ll show you around … making right turns only, of course. It’s a beautiful city with many fine attractions, and wonderful, progressive people. And don’t forget: John Yoo is a professor here. If he can stand it, so can you…
Mr. King, I have no intention of traveling to or spending any time/money in a US town that passes an ordinance barring City Fire engines and City Police and Fire uniforms from displaying the US Flag.
You can also shove your fair trade coffee where the sun don’t shine.

Probably a nice place to visit, but I definately wouldn’t want to live there…
…and wonderful, progressive people.
That’s precisely the problem.
16.
Yes, the progressive movement may be the down fall of our society.

Sorry, I’m not sure what happened with the comment I just tried to post in response to PCD. In essence, I said that the No Flags on the Fire Trucks ordinance s/he refers to is a complete urban myth … not a word of truth to it. There was a single incident, right after 9/11, where a fire dept. official decided that having a large US flag on equipment being deployed to provide security at a campus demonstration would offer demonstrators a convenient target, and thus interfere with the duties they were there to perform. That action was opposed by many civic leaders, including the mayor and several councilpeople (all of whom you folks would no doubt regard as Communists or worse), and it was not repeated. Here’s a contemporary account of the flap, if you’re interested in learning something as opposed to simply reinforcing each other’s kneejerk responses:
