RedState has managed to get their paws on Elena Kagan’s college thesis. It’s about socialism in New York City from 1900-1933. One could argue that it’s purely an academic paper, but parts of it suggest otherwise. The paper leaves little doubt that she’s at the very least an admirer of socialism if not an outright supporter of it.
Here’s a little taste:
“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 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.”
One more for the road…
“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.
Judging from pretty much everyone else Obama has appointed to anything you can bet Kagan is a radical leftist. She’s a perfect candidate because she’s never been a judge and barely spent anytime in private practice as a lawyer. That means her paper trail is very thin — which means there’s little ammunition for Republicans to attack.
However, Obama is a good friends with Kagan. He knows who she is and what she believes about a wide range of issues. Therefore, his decision to pick her for a lifetime appointment to the highest court in the land wasn’t done on the fly. You can bet your ass she’s a radical. I wouldn’t be surprised if she turns out to be the most radical justice on the court — ever. I wouldn’t be surprised if she ends up making Ginsburg look more like Roberts.
Obama isn’t capable of picking a moderate for anything. He didn’t grow up with moderates, he didn’t hang out with moderates, he didn’t go to school with moderates, he doesn’t f*cking know any moderates.
