Following up on the story of the disgusting vote the Berkeley City Council made the other day declaring the United States Marines an "unwelcome invader" in their city. Senator Jim DeMint of South Carolina says he is working on legislation to remove funding from Berkeley and give that funding to the United States Marines.

Go Senator DeMint!

“This is a slap in the face to all brave service men and women and their families. The First Amendment gives the City of Berkeley the right to be idiotic, but from now on they should do it with their own money. If the city can’t show respect for the Marines that have fought, bled and died for their freedom, Berkeley should not be receiving special taxpayer funded handouts. I am currently drafting legislation to ensure that American taxpayers aren’t forced to pay for this insult by rescinding all of the earmarks for Berkeley in the Omnibus Appropriations bill, and to transfer the funds to the Marine Corps.â€
