Oh Yeah… That Worked

The Code Pinkos and anarchists of the world are protesting and picketing the U.S. Marine Corps Recruiting Station in Berkeley... Maybe that had the exact opposite effect?? Perhaps drew attention to the fine work the USMC does?? Look at that number, Medea!

OORAH, HOOAH, BRAVO ZULU and WHOOHOO to those fine young men and women who joined!!

Hey!
One more thing... Another protest/demonstration is taking place tomorrow in Tacoma by the Tacoma Mall, were the USMC Recruiting station is. There is a group of people putting on an opposing protest; they will be waving flags and yellow ribbons and such. I thought that was really funny, especially after I had just read this post. Oo-rah!
