Perhaps we could sell it to the Mexicans?

Hillarys old stomping grounds where she defended the Black Panthers.

Mrs. Clinton’s involvement with Treuhaft is no secret, although Hillary clearly doesn’t want to talk about it. A New York Times obituary of Treuhaft, who died in 2001, said that he had “accepted a young Yale lawyer named Hillary Rodham (now Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton) as an intern.” A British newspaper, the London Times, said that “generations of liberal lawyers were groomed under his [Treuhaft’s] tutelage, including a young Yale law student named Hillary Rodham.”

These two obituaries are posted at a website in honor of Treuhaft’s famous wife, British author Jessica Mitford, herself a member of the CPUSA whose lobbying of Bill Clinton on the death penalty issue was reportedly facilitated by Hillary.

The Harvard Law Bulletin said about Treuhaft: “He belonged to and served as attorney to the Communist Party of the United States for many years and defended the civil rights of groups such as the Black Panther Party, Vietnam War draft resisters, and members of Berkeley’s free speech movement.”

The London Times said Treuhaft and Mitford left the CPUSA in 1958 and that “Khrushchev’s denunciation of the crimes of Stalin had been influential in driving away lots of believers.” But Khruschev had denounced Stalin’s crime in February 1956. The Times said that “the Mitford/Treuhaft idea that the American Communist ideal should be an indigenous affair never took root,” suggesting they left the party not because of what Stalin did but because working through the CPUSA had proven to be ineffective in establishing a communist America. The British newspaper The Independent said that Treuhaft and Mitford continued to sing the Internationale, once the Soviet national anthem, after they left the party.

Barbara Olson reported, “Hillary has never repudiated her connection with the Communist movement in America or explained her relationship with two of its leading adherents. Of course, no one has pursued these questions with Hillary. She has shown she will not answer hard questions about her past, and she has learned that she does not need to-remarkable in an age when political figures are allowed such little privacy.”

“I wonder how much China would pay us for the Bay Area.”

Heck, I’d pay Mexico to take the whole state back.

I wonder what would happen if, on Monday, the DOD announced that ALL military facilities in California are closed and moving to other states.

I would love to hear the p*$$ing and moaning.

Long term lease in exchange for oil!

Please don’t tar all of California with the Berkeley/SF brush. There are plenty of loyal conservatives out here in the high desert - Palmdale, etc., Edwards AFB - who’d like to saw the Bay Area off and let it drift out to sea. And, as another poster has pointed out, FR is California-based. We’re not all bad.

There is a precedent for this, another case in which a local government sought the forcible removal of a federal facility in their midst. The year was 1861, the government was the secessionist regime of South Carolina, and the facility was Fort Sumter.

Nowhere in Constitutional or common law is the right of free speech construed to include the right to forcibly prevent others from conducting their lawful business.

In facilitating this outrage, the regime in Berkeley has abrogated its constitutional duty to protect the conduct of lawful business and it has attempted to annul acts of the Federal government, specifically the various acts that allow the Marine Corps to engage in recruiting. In openly attempting to deny use of the facility to the Federal authorities, it has placed itself in the same position as the South Carolina secessionists.

It should be dealt with accordingly.
