3) Moved pointer and attempted C-v and C-y
   Received message Symbol's function is void: x-selection-text in both 
instances
4) Went to menu bar.  Paste didn't work, BUT paste from kill did.
5) Downloaded cua-base.el
6) byte-compile-file cua-base.el
7) load-file cua-base.elc
   same results
8) Uninstalled and reinstalled emacs
   same results

I can't reproduce this (and I don't see any reference to
"x-selection-text" in Emacs).
Does it happen if you start using `emacs -Q'?

Please toggle M-x debug-on-error and post the resulting backtrace.

This line in your .emacs is the obvious cause of the problem.
Simply remove it.
