Gotta love the Berkeley College Republicans
http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/lano...-berkeley.html
I used to do this kind of stuff in college. Had a big rally against one of our better campaigns.

I saw that - maybe all hope is not lost on the Berkeley college campus.

Not the first time.......
......................for this type of bake sale and it drives the libs nuts every time.
This bake sale is usually brought out when something about "equal rights" is stiring on campus.
This one is over a bill on the Gov's desk about considering race, ethnicity and gender in college admissions.
The libs are all for considering race, ethnicity and gender as long as it's not at a bake sale. Irony is lost on Libs.

What do you do later in life with a degree in anthropology and rhetoric? Teach obscure tribal peoples how to debate?

The left is all up in the air over this atrocity.
Meanwhile, the lib activists commit murder, arson, larceny, burn the flag, asault LEOs, but that is all covered under their Constitutional rights.
Some animals really are more equal than others.

I find it funny that someone was protesting the exclusion of "queers" from the groups singled out in the bake sale.

Members of the Berkeley College Republicans were excluded from the town hall meeting of a coalition of UC Berkeley students seeking to promote multiculturalism and open dialogue on Friday night.
The coalition was meeting to discuss a response to the highly controversial “Increase Diversity Bake Sale” being organized by the campus Republican organization.

It's a disproportionate offering.
If it were truly representative of contemporary society, the blacks would be charged nothing, and would be given a cell phone to boot.

I remember when we were deployed to A-stan back in '02, one of the guys back in the rear, stateside sent us a newspaper clipping from the CSU Coloradoan newspaper. A bunch of hippie freaks were having a hunger strike in opposition to the war. To counter them, some of the frat houses got together to hold a barbecue right next to the hunger strikers. It was a really funny picture of a guy flipping burgers for waiting customers while the pathetic losers were sitting down in the background holding protest signs.

One can work for .GOV as a spy.
Anthropologists have been concerned with such activity since the Wilson administration. << LINK>>, <<LINK2>>, << LINK3>>, << LINK4>>.

I went to Cal and I was a member of the Berkeley College Republicans.
While in the admissions process, advisors encourge minority students to find a way to mention their ethnic background in their admissions essay so the admissions officers know that they're a minority, thereby subverting the process of ethnic blindness.
The diversity bake sale is actually nothing new. They had it every year that I was there.

^I can say that not in a gazillion years would I have eaten anything made by another Golden Bear, regardless of political affiliation, unless I had been in the kitchen the entire time.
Verily, .GOV should fund an annual project in which Kramerica drops a massive rubber ball filled with Purell on Sproul Plaza.

Those were very interesting. The articles from '07, talking about being in Iraq and Afghan, sounded like a repeat of the first article, referencing 1919.
