PROFILE: ELENA KAGAN

• Served as President Bill Clinton's Associate White House Counsel
• Former dean of Harvard Law School
• Sought to overturn the Solomon Amendment, a law that denies federal funding to any university that bars military recruiters from its campus
• Believes that the military should open its ranks and barracks to homosexuals, without restriction
• Was appointed U.S. Solicitor General by President Barack Obama in January 2009

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."

This b!tch is trouble.

Is this lunatic going to be a new Supreme Court justice?

Cutting through her B.S. — Kagan wants the government to stop speech that “harms”. She’s very frustrated with the way the courts have ruled in the past and wants more government control over speech.

Just as troubling, she and Obama are two peas in a pod [note she wanted to make him a career professor]. I can say that with confidence because Obama has been ranting about too much free speech with modern communication methods.

If we lose our free speech, how will we know how to vote? This is a clear defining line between right and left. And note that republican bluebloods are allies of the left. True conservatives never get along with bluebloods like McCain [he only won the 08 primary due to crossover votes].

The left wants to suppress information. The right wants to inform. The left mistrusts how we might vote. The left seeks foreign voters who are uninformed. The left wants to dope up our brains so we can’t think coherently. The left wants to dumb down the schools and indoctrinate school kids. Why? For control.

The left always seeks to divide us — by race, by class warfare, by undermining unifying religious beliefes, by enviornmental fearmongering which the left’s leaders never truly give a fig about.

The way I look at it, the difference is crystal clear. One side is for freedom to communicate, to decide how your kids are educated. Freedom. The other side is always seeking to enslave us. America is waking up.
