HOOOOOOWA BOYCOTT BEZERKELEY! (an UPDATE and MORE)

OKAY, FOLKS.......talk about a good story to dovetail this Marines Story and the UPDATE: who cares if it's true? works for me! (thanks, Joe!)

A United States Marine was attending some college courses between assignments. He had completed missions in Iraq and Afghanistan .
One of the courses had a professor who was an avowed atheist and a member of the ACLU. One day the professor shocked the class when he came in. He looked to the ceiling and flatly stated, "God, if you are real, then I want you to knock me off this platform. I'll give you exactly 15 min.' The lecture room fell silent. You could hear a pin drop. Ten minutes went by and the professor proclaimed, 'Here I am God. I'm still waiting.'
It got down to the last couple of minutes when the Marine got out of his chair, went up to the professor, and cold-cocked him; knocking him off the platform. The professor was out cold. The Marine went back to his seat and sat ther! e, sile ntly. The other students were shocked and stunned and sat there looking on in silence. The professor eventually came to, noticeably shaken, looked at the Marine and asked, 'What the heck is the matter with you? Why did you do that?' The Marine calmly replied, 'God was too busy today protecting America 's soldiers who are protecting your right to say stupid stuff and act like an idiot. So, He sent me.'

UPDATE: I had no idea MoveAmericaForward got involved....but they seem to have got their knickers in a perfectly understandable and laudable twist, too, so you might want to check the report; z

To all of our friends and supporters at Move America Forward:
On Friday afternoon we will be publishing a comprehensive report on what happened in Berkeley, California on Tuesday - when thousands of you joined together to tell the Berkeley City Council that we would not tolerate their attacks against our military men and women.
You'll be able to find the report on our website:

This is REAL! I JUST SPOKE TO THIS GUY on his cell phone driving from LA to Berkeley and he confirmed THIS IS REAL! Mr. Brian Dennard has had 8000 emails at his business and 1000 personal emails and about 900 calls in the last few DAYS, folks! (that would include ME, I couldn't believe he answered the phone when I called to confirm this is true...I figured I'd be lucky if I got his secretary). Mr. Dennard (I call him Brian now and I think he calls me 'that whacky woman from LA who also got my cell number!') said "In the last few days, I have spoken to the finest people you could ever want to meet over this letter I wrote".
(That would NOT be me, that would be MARINES! God Bless them all! ) Here's the scoop:

Berkeley to Marine Corps: You're Not Welcome
BERKELEY, Calif. Local officials in this liberal city say it's time for the U.S. Marines to move out.The City Council has voted to tell the Marines their downtown recruiting station is not welcome and "if recruiters choose to stay, they do so as uninvited and unwelcome guests."The measure passed this week by a vote of 8-1.

Now check this out, here is a letter a businessman wrote to the Mayor of Berkeley.
Is this a great country or what?

Dear Mayor Bates,
In that you and your city have chosen to gravely insult the brave men and women, who have indeed bought you that right with their blood, I am informing you that my company will no longer do business with any of our current suppliers located in the Berkeley, California metro area.
In that my company is in international resort real estate development, and do business with and am associated with, developers and investors worldwide, I am informing all of my contacts, associates and patrons that we will no longer do any business of any sort with anyone living in the Berkeley area.
In that we/MDG Resorts are currently building a state of the art mega-yacht marina, all of the suppliers of Marina equipment, all owners of Yachts , all suppliers of Yacht materials & supplies, all yacht brokers and all tangential yacht business purveyors will likewise be informed that we will not do any business whatsoever with anyone from the Berkeley area.
Likewise all suppliers of building materials, both interior and exterior, currently associated with any of our several resort developments (Brisamar 300+ villas and 200+ condos: Porto Hussong, http://www.portohussong.com/ 500+ condos, 180 slip mega-yacht marina) both of which I might add have international recognition by virtue of glowing reports in Robb Report, Wall Street Journal, Yacht World, Forbes.
I will likewise inform all of our investors, most of whom are very wealthy yacht owners, casino owners, high net worth international businessmen, of our decision to essentially boycott all products and providers located in, or associated with in any way whatsoever, Berkeley, Ca.
Trust me when I say that having been in the real estate development business for over 35 years, our list of contacts and associates is long and very, very impressive. We, and I personally, are going to recomend that they ALL along with us boycott your city, its purveyors, suppliers, and businesses and CHARITIES of every kind.
You have every right to choose to take the obnoxious anti-military stance you have taken, and as stated, that right was bought for you with the blood of better men than you.
I too have every right to do all that I can to insure that your city suffers consequences arising from that obnoxious, sickening stance.
Cordially,
Brian G Dennard
Principal
Director
619/807-2444
