I’m waxing nostalgic for a time when nations bought and sold land from one another. There’s some real estate in northern California that the United States should look into selling. Interested buyers can have this sewer prime property for the bargain basement price of we-just-want-it-the-hell-out-of-here dollars.

Berkeley, California, that Marine-hating, Code Pinko cesspool of humanity has outlived it usefulness as a legally recognized city of the United States of America.

Let me make something clear. I don’t think people who oppose the war in Iraq are un-American. I think people who are virulently opposed to free enterprise, our military and who believe that the United States government is the Big Bastard On Campus when it comes to any international conflict are un-American.

Which brings me back to Berkeley. Full of delirious commie/hippie remnants from the sixties, it continues to be an affront to the very institutions which allow it to exist in the first place. This has always been the bitter irony with these freaks: they love their free speech but despise the country that gives it to them.

This article in the Berkeley Daily Planet is what got me going today. The hippie du jour is one Kenneth Theisen, who is listed as an organizer with (insert generic idiotic protest group name here). His piece is titled Why I Don’t Support The Troops. Rather than being an intelligent objector to a specific war, he quickly reveals his whack-job status by using words like regime, hegemony and the word most misunderstood by radicals, imperialism.

Heads up, Ken, if we really were the hegemonic and/or imperialistic pricks you think we are Cuba would be a Sandals resort by now and we would have colonized Mexico and Venezuela for the oil long ago. Hugo Chavez would be serving finger sandwiches at White House luncheons.

Or entering his fifth term as the popular Mayor of Berkeley.

But this isn’t about one guy. Kenneth Theisen is sadly representative of Berkeley as a whole, even though he is apparently an Oakland resident. Close enough. It’s a Berkeley paper that’s letting him rant.

The people of Berkeley don’t really like being in America. They don’t like the military being there. They don’t like American flags on fire trucks. They may not even watch American Idol. Why don’t we sell the city and let the people there live under the auspices of a government that’s more in line with their political beliefs? Let Cuba or North Korea have them. Let them see firsthand what living under an actual “destructive” and “murderous” regime is like. Better yet, let them experience the joy of political dissent outside of America. Maybe they’ll get a new perspective once they find out that the First Amendment isn’t highly transferable. If, after experiencing that which they’ve been dreaming about they decide they want to be part of the United States again they can get in the way everyone else does now.

By going to Mexico and walking unmolested across the border.
