Supreme Court Nominee, Elena Kagan, a Moonbat

A few days ago, I was talking about Supreme Court nominee, Elena Kagan, with my wife. It’s pretty obvious that Obama was going to pick liberals for Supreme Court seats and Kagan certainly fits that bill. I told my wife that maybe it’s best that Republicans just accept that fact and let Kagan slide into the seat. Now I’m glad they didn’t.

As it turns out, we’re finding out that she’s a lesbian. I don’t have an issue with that in itself, that’s her business, whatever floats her boat. The problem I have with her is that when she was Dean of Harvard Law School, she banned military recruiters from the school, reportedly due to the “Don’t ask don’t tell” policy of homosexuals in the military. That action tells us that she’s an idealogue with an agenda and that she’s also a moonbat, right up there with Medea Benjamin and Code Pink!

As a military veteran, I feel it would be a slap in the face to all veterans if anti-military moonbat Elena Kagan is confirmed for the Supreme Court seat!

“As a military veteran, I feel it would be a slap in the face...”

The election of Boy-Blunder was the ultimate slap in the face to patriots - everything since then is just aftershocks.

I personally don’t want a queer on the Supreme Court.

Do we kno what team Kagen plays for?

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."

I think its called the Lickety -Splits.

“As a military veteran.....”
ME TOO!! No one who tried to or did eliminate military recruitment/ROTC from the college campuses should ever be considered, much less nominated to the Supreme Court.
I will advise our crapper Senators Schumer and Gilliband, not that they care a wit.
I quit the American Legion because they accepted Clinton without comment and don't expect the organization to voice any position re Kagan. Too bad.
Military: good enough to die for you but not be allowed to visit your campuses. Rudyard Kipling had it right in “Tommy”.

[Theodore R.]

Isn’t the American Legion primarily interested in obtaining various kinds of federal subsidies, rather than promoting patriotism, etc.

“I told my wife that maybe it’s best that Republicans just accept that fact and let Kagan slide into the seat.”

I don’t understand this attitude. I stand opposed to everything that the dhimmicrats wish to impose upon us and especially judges. It may be proforma for each side to “get” the nominee of their choice, but it is our duty to make sure that the ideologues and their agendas are exposed and that no one has any pretensions about what they’re up to.

[PJammers]

Absolutely not.

[Logical me]

Our King has spoken. She looks like the same empty suit as King Obama. It is his communists Administration and outside criminals that are controlling America. King Obama is just a empty headed puppet, and this Kagan, I fear, is the same. Some people can appear intellectual sound but are just talking points learned by their real leaders and were pumped through a sick educational system.

[Binstence]

The fact that this criminal she-man is solicitor general of The United States is shocking and a symptom of a very sick government. If the US Constitution is only as durable as each power addicted career politician wants it to be it may as well be written on Play-doh. We are in a constitutional crisis with only the cowardly republicans to act on behalf of the people. Translation: We are losing what little liberty we have left.

[Jacquerie]

She called the carefully crafted rules “a moral injustice of the first order”

This lady is a crusader for "social justice."

Our Constitution is a compact to secure our unalienable rights. It cannot legitimately be used to impose social justice.

Kagan should not be allowed anywhere near our precious Constitution.

I don't think the circumstances behind the recruiting story are as cut and dried as it seems...

Read it and decide for yourself.

We're gonna get a lefty...we don't have the votes to stop it. The question I have is, if we use all our ammo to take this one out, how much better or worse will the next one be?

I just want to be factual in our criticism.

[ilovesarah2012]

Obama doesn’t care what we think and the republicans won’t even ask her about it. Just another slap in the face to Christians in America.

[ilovesarah2012]

I am more concerned with her socialist beliefs.

“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.”

Even after reading the above article, I'm not swayed from my opinion that Kagan is a moonbat.

The article kind of reminded me of the justifications that a few of the big guns in Oath Keepers had for supporting Adam Kokesh in his run for the Congressional seat in New Mexico, that because Kokesh is supposedly a Constitutionalist, that this somehow justified the maligning his fellow veterans and active duty military that he did when he was one of the leaders in the IVAW.

Kagan is an ideologue who has an social agenda of pushing gay rights and she's a moonbat for instituting the anti recruiter policy, regardless if it was a carry over from previous policy. For gosh sakes, she went as far as seeking to overturn the Solomon Amendment, a law that denies federal funding to any university that bars military recruiters from its campus. That speaks volumes!

[rockrr]

I guess I wrapped that into my “agenda” statement. I agree with you. It is part & parcel of her “grand social experiment” that includes not just “social justice” and creative reparations, but the soft-Facism favored by Øbozo.

Some here seem to be saying that we should save our ammo for a more important fight but I’m more inclined to fight them at every turn. The neat thing about “bullets” is that if you’re running low you can always make more...

[rockrr]

But the article concludes, "But it would be very wrong to portray Elena Kagan as hostile to the U.S. military. Quite the opposite is true."

If they say it then it must be true.....right?!

Understood and that's pretty much how I feel, but the point I was making was, Obama is going to nominate a liberal to Supreme Court openings, no matter what. Initially, I didn't really know much about Kagan, but now that I do, I oppose her nomination.
