Kagan’s Thesis Endorsed Judicial Activism – David McIntosh, Human Events
In the 665 page book Change for America copyrighted by the Center for American Progress Action Fund and the New Democracy Project (see Open Society Institute and soros.org), Elena Kagan is front and center, along with Van Jones and of course the lead dog John Podesta. The book is subtitled as A Progressive Blueprint for the 44th President. I have been going through the chapters, including the preface by Podesta and a chapter titled Progressive Patriotism by Mark Green and I am not surprised to find great similarity with the ten measures for revolutionizing the mode of production outlined in Karl Marx’s The Communist Manifesto (1848). The Manifesto centers on a heavy progressive (or graduated) income tax, centralization of credit in the hands of the state, and centralization of the means of communication. Green writes in Progressive Patriotism that the U.S. should “create a true progressive tax system…raising the top rates on the fortunate few back at least to 38%.” Green also highlights strengthening unions. There is no question that the combination of big government and unions are at the root of inflation in the U.S. And debasing the currency is the best way possible to promote the socialist agenda. Soros is main man #1 in the whole deal, and Kagan is absolutely on board. No way in the world she should receive a lifetime appointment to the Supreme Court. Every senator must be made to read Change for America and the Communist Manifesto. I’d like to see the Tea Party movement make certain that each senator receives a copy of each. – Dick Young
Sestak Job Offer Violated Federal Law? – Hans von Spakovsky & Cully Stimson, Human Events
Barack Obama, Robert Gibbs, Rahm Emanuel, and White House counsel Robert Bauer have ripped a page right out of the Bush administration playbook. The play is named “Trust Us.” and they’re running it every down. Joe Sestak was offered a quid pro quo to exit the senate primary in Pennsylvania, no amount of lipstick is going to make this pig a prom date. – Timothy Jones
The Gaza Crisis: Decision Time for Obama – Michael Rubin, National Review
Getting the U.S. more deeply involved in the minutiae of Middle Eastern politics was a mistake by the Obama administration. Criticizing Israel for settlement building brings the office of the President of the United States down to the level of zoning board member. The right thing to do here is to pull back and let the two sides figure it out themselves, not get involved at a more ridiculously local level in an argument that has no basis in reality. – Dick Young
Qaeda Aide Believed Dead – Siobhan Gorman, The Wall Street Journal
The killing of this terrorist is exactly how the war on terror should be handled, drone strikes led by good intelligence, not boots on the ground. – Dick Young
The Union Pension Bailout – Review & Outlook, The Wall Street Journal
The unions of America want you to pick up the tab on their mismanaged pension funds. Senator Bob Casey Jr. from Pennsylvania wants the American taxpayer to bailout unions that have thoroughly mismanaged their pension programs. The programs will be nationalized and taxpayers will be asked to make up the shortfall in funding the plans. That isn’t what most Americans want, and the Tea Party should be outraged at the idea of having to pay benefits to private sector employees. If anyone should be bailing out the unions, it should be the corporations who they work for, or they should take the extra monies needed out of their political lobbying offices. – Deborah Young
