Spree at WakeUpAmericans is doing an excellent job blogging about all the insanity in Berkeley, and the NEWEST INSULT to our troops in Toledo.

From her Blog

NOTE TO MOVE AMERICA FORWARD: After Berkeley, perhaps a little nudge the Toledo Mayor would be in order for kicking the Marines out of Toledo.

Toledo police said they knew about the training and had approved the unit’s use of the Madison Building and the Promenade Park area. The training was scheduled to start Friday afternoon and last until Sunday. Police said the unit’s presence would have a minimal impact on the city. Police issued a press release earlier in the week saying the Marines would be wearing green camouflage uniforms, operate military vehicles, carry rifles, perform foot patrols, and fire blank ammunition during the exercise.

Schwartz said there was a breakdown in communication between police and the Finkbeiner administration that led to the mayor’s action.

“The Marines drilled here three times during the Ford administration and once under the Finkbeiner administration. After the last visit, the mayor told then police Chief Jack Smith, that he did not want the marines back. Smith failed to inform the current police administration of the mayor’s feelings,” Schwartz said.

NBC24 spoke to Jack Smith who recalled that after the Marines last visit, he and the mayor had a heated exchange about the training.

“He told me he did not want them, as he put it, 'playing war in Toledo,'" Smith recalled. "I told him, as a former Marine, that if one young Marine’s life is saved because of training he or she received in Toledo, Ohio, then it was worth the inconvenience.”


DULY NOTED!

I have done, oh, a bajillion interviews about the Berkeley situation and included this awful, awful situation in Toledo.

We'll keep pressing the main point --THE LEFT HATES OUR TROOPS!
