Writing much later I wonder why she stopped at 1933. 1933 was the start of the assent of socialism in the Roosevelt administration.

Eee-yup.

Well Kagan, all I can say is enjoy your stay on the bench while it lasts... you and Soto-Mayo whatever should keep your bags packed for the upcoming constitutional crisis that will find everything Obama has done in office null and void.

“We need to hold on till November, then vote them out in 2010 and 2012.”

Then we need to run them out of this country and our society. There is no peaceful coexistance with these people.

Why is it that Obama’s contemporaries are such horrible writers? They spent their entire lives on campus.

Because they are always declaring the illogical, logical; the ugly, beautiful; violence, as peace; hate, as love; and lies, as truth.

This disqualifies her... the repubics will do nothing and call us ignorant when we complain... they will be the ignorant ones in November.

Yes, it is like the prayer of St. Francis, but in reverse.

I am thinking this may be true of Marxists and fundamental Muslims, or the Marxist Muslim Messiah, Barry Soetero.

PROFILE: ELENA KAGAN

As an undergraduate at Princeton, Kagan wrote a senior thesis titled

"To the Final Conflict: Socialism in New York City, 1900-1933."

In the "Acknowledgments" section of her work, she specifically thanked her brother Marc, “whose involvement in radical causes led me to explore the history of American radicalism in the hope of clarifying my own political ideas.” In the body of the thesis, Kagan wrote:

"In our own times, a coherent socialist movement is nowhere to be found in the United States. Americans are more likely to speak of a golden past than of a golden future, of capitalism’s glories than of socialism’s greatness. Conformity overrides dissent; the desire to conserve has overwhelmed the urge to alter. Such a state of affairs cries out for explanation. Why, in a society by no means perfect, has a radical party never attained the status of a major political force? Why, in particular, did the socialist movement never become an alternative to the nation’s established parties?...

"Through its own internal feuding, then, the SP [Socialist Party] exhausted itself forever and further reduced labor radicalism in New York to the position of marginality and insignificance from which it has never recovered. 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. Radicals have often succumbed to the devastating bane of sectarianism; it is easier, after all, to fight one’s fellows than it is to battle an entrenched and powerful foe. Yet if the history of Local New York shows anything, it is that American radicals cannot afford to become their own worst enemies. In unity lies their only hope."

With all this documentation floating around, the Senators should pose some interesting questions and allow Kagan to talk herself out of a nomination.

How can Obama honor his Oath by nominating a socialist judge?

Say what you will about Michael Savage, but he is the ONLY one who is talking about this.

Exactly! It’s not as if we haven’t had a ‘collectivist’ on the Supreme Court before.
