Yep and a Yep.

I was disappointed in that it doesn't include the notes, footnotes, source credits, bibliography or whatever at the end. I bet she lifted most of that material from books like "World of Our Fathers" by Irving Howe.

FGL,

Can I get a copy of it? Do you want me to PM my email address?

There are still places to get it online.

You can download it there. The college made RedState take it down but other sites have it too.

It's on torrent sites, too.   :evillaugh:  Forcing Redstate to remove it just added fuel to the fire.

and if you had found a story about her lifetime membership in the NRA, or GOA. Her active participation with the Fair Tax, etc.... That would be news worthy.



Seeing she's been tapped by the "one", you can only assume she's of like political mindset.
Socialism has to be imposed.  It doesn't work if some citizens want to be socialists and other citizens want to be free.  The NRA and GOA don't care about imposing gun ownership on people who don't want to own guns.

Yes but we are talking about people who do not believe in freedom. The same people who told us "dissent is patriotic" want to ban all dissent now that they are in power. Kagan lost the Citizens United case because of the argument she used. She said the law gave them the power to censor all political speech no matter the format. If she had said the law gave them the power to ban 3rd party political ads 30 days before the election, she might have actually won a 5-4 decision, but the swing vote was as mouth-agape at the argument used as the conservative justices were.

I was actually responding as to why Kagen being a socialist was news.  The poster's whole point of comparing a socialist to someone who belongs to a 2nd Amendment activist group being spurious.

Well, communication is a two way street.

I could post the letter "A" and expect you to read my mind as to what I mean or I can choose to communicate in manner that my readers might comprehend.

The issue that can sink her is her arguments against free speech last year in Citizens United.

Call her the Unsinkable Kagan, then.  There won't be a filibuster.  http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0510/37308.html
