Former Secretary of State and recent presidential candidate Clinton once posited the existence of a vast right-wing conspiracy to explain conservatism’s continuity of expression from its national conversation down to its local outcomes. We find it sufficient to identify the workings of a vast right-wing culture to explain this continuity; and we see the right's national conversation on race expressed in the reaction by San Francisco State University upon SFEcon’s theoretical guru.

Though the cause here originated in Roemer's Teutonic approach to economics, it ultimately came down to nothing more than America’s open indictment against unapologetically heterosexual men of Northern European descent. When applied in response to an ordinary instance of public servants stealing more or less at their station, the right accusation did indeed trump the quality of instruction being provided by the accused.

San Francisco State’s development from a state college to university status included the requisite creation of an Ethnic Studies Program, and was completed by then big-spending governor (later big-spending president and immigration patsy) Ronald Wilson Regan. (Canadian) Professor Samuel Ichiye Hayakawa, the governor’s personal choice for university president, supervised this transition with massive support from California state troopers arrayed in full riot gear. The assertion of traditional values on the SF State campus is, to this day, accomplished by the presence of this or that police agency equipped for warfare in whatever degree necessary.

San Francisco’s conservative lion,1 then state senator and later radio big-mouth, Quentin Lewis Kopp was solicited to dissuade the SF State faculty from their efforts to present their findings in the local media, but to no avail. State had apparently struck the Honorable Kopp square in his prejudices, which he dutifully added to those of the faculty, whereupon State's charges were elevated to an FBI investigation. Given the prima facie hysteria of State’s charging document, it is difficult to imagine the Bureau’s having proceeded except on the insistence of an elected official.

While nothing came of this expenditure from the public purse, the Honorable Kopp continues his campaign for right thinking on the SF State campus:

I write to express my indignation that your courage and justifiable denunciation of the Palestinian hooligans at San Francisco State hasn´t been embraced by San Francisco Jews . . . The cowards at Hillel will not be rewarded with my donations.2
The above was Kopp’s contribution to a fundraising appeal for the defense of one Tatiana Menaker. Ms. Menaker is not a US citizen; she was arrested for a hate crime; was convicted of disruptive behavior; was made to perform community service; and did serve probation.

Her efforts to import the Semites’ civil war over the Levant included (according to the Director of Hillel, who denounced her to the authorities) directing a rally of Palestinian students to Go, f-ck your camels!, and addressing the girls attending in the Arabic equivalent of bitch. A public official less zealous of his calling than the Straussian übermensch Kopp might have understood the reluctance of his fellow San Franciscans to adopt her cause.

Having been cited and fined for violation of election laws only twice during his term of office, the Honorable Kopp naturally secured his retirement with a judgeship upon leaving the California State Senate. As memorialized in this complaint to San Francisco’s Commission on Judicial Performance, Judge Kopp uses his bench to validate the Noble Lie of Nazism's resurgence via millitant Islam through further pursuit of our chief theoretician.

In its reply, the Commission does not deny that their appointee behaved as described. They nonetheless held themselves powerless to act because these behaviors are among the entitlements with which they enrobe a judge. As Mr. Justice Marshal has explained, the power to subpoena is the power to destroy.

In this instance it would appear that conservatism is quite willing to build upon whatever state powers it can acquire to create a regime in which, per Robespierre, there are no longer any crimes, only criminals  — a practice made all the more irksome by bold assertions that it is not happening, e.g.: We are a nation of laws and we need procedural due process.3
