I grew up dreading the Nazis. My older brother bought a copy of The Third Reich which I perused to my utter horror as a boy. Now we have to contend with this leftist trash, who reminds me of the female communist in We The Living, sitting on the Supreme Court.

Her evasions during questioning are so typical of those whose agenda needs to be hidden from the public. Another bloodsucking vampire aspires to drain whatever juice remains in our once free country.

I am still confident that the pro freedom movement will spread among the young in time to save the day. The Young Americans for Liberty is on over 150 high school, college and university campuses and is quite active.

Here is a link to an article in The Daily Caller which in turn has a link to the original Kagan Thesis itself. She mentions Werner Somber in the first line. The very last paragraph shows her feelings on the subject of the failure "of the SP (in NYC,) a sad story but a chastening one for those who, more than half a century ... still wish to change America."

Gulch,

I think Kagan's refusal to answer any serious question during the recent hearings constitutes sufficient reason not to confirm her.

But you'd have to expect a thesis on socialism in America to cite Werner Sombart at one point or another.

And the socialist roots of Nazism are hardly unknown around these parts.

Why should one be alarmed by the fact that she _cited_ the writings of a nazi? Leonard Peikoff cited the writings of numerous nazis, including Hitler, in his book _The_Ominous_Parallels_. Everyone who's ever written about Hitler in a scholarly context has done the same. And frequently in non-scholarly contexts too.

I know nothing about that woman, for all I know she may be the Devil Incarnate, but that article is downright silly. It is written by fundamentalist morons who think that just citing someone with bad ideas is in itself a sign of being evil. With such "friends" you need no enemies.

Kagan made her sympathies readily evident. She bewailed the failure of the socialist party. She identified herself as a "radical" who wanted and still wants to change America. It is not just that she mentioned Werner Sombert in the first line of her thesis. It is no wonder that she chose to write her thesis on the subject. If there were a gene for the type she would have it as would Hillary and Barack.

On another subject, the news reported that a Marist poll found that many were not able to identify the country from whom the Founders won their independence. Six percent mentioned other countries such as France, China, Mexico, Spain and Japan. A sad commentary on the public school system. Who knows what they are teaching children these days. No wonder we are on the verge of collapse.
