(Via WND) NEW YORK – In her undergraduate thesis at Princeton, President Obama’s nominee for the Supreme Court, Elena Kagan, lamented the decline of socialism in the country as “sad” for those who still hope to “change America.”
Titled “To the Final Conflict: Socialism in New York City, 1900-1933,” Kagan opined that infighting caused the decline of the early socialist movement. She asked why the “greatness” of socialism was not reemerging as a major political force.
…
The story is a sad but also a chastening one for those who, more than half a century after socialism’s decline, still wish to change America,” she wrote.
…
Her thesis was dedicated to her brother “whose involvement in radical causes led me to explore the history of American radicalism in the hope of clarifying my own political ideas.”

We must change America because we are such a horrible deprived nation, don’tcha know.
“The story is a sad but also a chastening one for those who, more than half a century after socialism’s decline, still wish to change America,”
Aside from being insane, it is a horribly written sentence.
Same with Gordon Liu. Why is it that Obama’s contemporaries are such horrible writers? They spent their entire lives on campus.
The media will not ask any questions regarding her extreme socialist background. They seem more concerned about Obama not announcing his pick is a lesbo! We are in deep shit!
Did anyone expect anything but a socialist or communist to get appointed by 0zero? What a travesty - they appoint communists to interpret the US Constitution. If it they were asked to interpret the Communist Manifesto - then I could see how these lefties would be helpful...alas.
Writing much later I wonder why she stopped at 1933. 1933 was the start of the assent of socialism in the Roosevelt administration.
That's because socialism DOES NOT WORK - YOU DYKE NITWIT !!!
Given that we are in the midst of the abject failure of socialism world wide, on a scale of which is unprecedented in world history, I think it is absolutely legitimate to question the mental stability and judgment of anyone who still clings to its’ tenets.
This needs to be thrown in her face over and over again.
Why are the liberals trying to institute a failed system?....It must be an elitist thing!
Commies, Marxists, radicals, Socialists, Keynesians are in power.
We need to hold on till November, then vote them out in 2010 and 2012.
Ordinarily I would say that her confirmation hearings ought to be a blast to watch, especially now that Teddy the Hutt has been reunited with his brothers; but I just don’t know if the Republicans are up to doing what needs to be done here.
This bitch needs to be BORKED IMMEDIATELY
That's really how Roberts "made it".
We were reallhy lucky with Alito and Roberts. God bless George....again...
Socialism? Didn’t Osama recently tell us he was not a socialist and the Democrats weren’t for socialism?
This may actually get good.
Will any of the conservative Senators have the nerve to interrogate her about her socialist views, then and now?
Yeah but we dont need anymore stealth nominees. Souter was bad enough.
This Court should be of great judicial minds, not affirmative action/stealthy candidates.
This blue lipped Kenyan commie reflexively nominates marxist sex perverts as if it’s not a problem at all, daring the clowns at the RNC to do something about it.
If this Marxist is allowed to be seated all bets are off
