Code Pin*a (UPDATED)

I apologize for the effusive title, I just couldn't hold back.

A few weeks ago the Cuban-American community got raked through the coals for our "behavior" during a Code Pink "rally" at Versailles restaurant. I recall reading quite a few negative articles in the MSM about the incident, but also remember reading many comments in support of the community vis-a-vis the Bacalao Brigade.

You know what? Im glad we ripped their little pink crap off their truck. At least we aint Berkeley:

Members of the Berkeley City Council showed their opposition to a Marine Corps recruiting office in Downtown Berkeley last night.

Council members supported the two resolutions-one supporting anti-war protests and the other criticizing military recruitment practices-citing opposition to the war in Iraq, deceptive recruitment practices and the right to protest.

“By taking a stand against recruitment we are protecting the health and safety of our youth,” said PhoeBe sorgen, a member of the Berkeley Peace and Justice Commission. “I see the protest as taking a proud and courageous stand.”

Code Pink, a national anti-war grassroots organization, will be granted a parking spot for their regular Wednesday afternoon protests and will not need to apply for a sound permit for the next six months, under one resolution.

Yeah, we may be boisterous and intransigent, but at least we fight for what's right and dont let some commie Pinko Bacalao Brigadeers push us around. Much less relegate the very same military that fights and dies for our freedoms to being "uninvited and unwelcome intruders."

Note to the USMC: Screw Berkeley, come on down to Miami. We got your six.

Thanks for putting my twin brother's photo on your blog. He got jealous the last time you put up lots of photos of me but none of him.

God Bless Our Brave Men & Women in the Military!
=============

"I was with that which others did not want to be,
I went to where others feared to go, and did what others failed to do.
I asked nothing of those who gave nothing,
and reluctantly accepted the thought of eternal loneliness that I feel.
I have seen the face of terror, felt the stinging cold of fear,
And enjoyed the sweet taste of a moments love.
I have cried pain and hope,
But most of all I have lived times others would say were best forgotten.
At least some day I'll be able to say,
That I was proud what I was, A Soldier."
