U.S. Senator Wants to Revoke Funding From City of Berkeley, Calif., for Vote to Boot Marines

WASHINGTON — U.S. Sen. Jim DeMint, R-S.C., says the City of Berkeley, Calif., no longer deserves federal money.

DeMint was angered after learning that the Berkeley City Council voted this week to tell the U.S. Marine Corps to remove its recruiting station from the city's downtown.

In the meantime, a senior Marine official tells FOX News that the Marine office in Berkeley isn't going anywhere.

"We understand things are different there, but some people just don't get it. This is a part of the military machine that gives them the right to do what they do, but what they are doing is extreme," the official said.

Senator DeMint should concern himself with properly representing the good folks of South Carolina, rather tahn butt his nose into the affairs of people 3,000 miles away.

It's them darned activist legislators, again.

I s'pose it's easier for him to face the angry mob in Berkley, than it is to face the loved ones of the fallen, in S.C.
