Push is on by the Tribe to appoint unqualified, statist-authoritarian, Jewish lesbian "conservative" to take last Protestant seat on S.C.

Hype for Elena Kagan—Round Two
(Occidental Observer Blog) -- By Kevin MacDonald --

The last time we went through the Supreme Court nomination process, there was a veritable groundswell of hyperbole for Elena Kagan — so much so that I couldn’t resist writing about it here. The theme is ethnic networking. How else explain the fact that someone with a completely undistinguished scholarly record not only got tenure at the University of Chicago but was appointed dean of Harvard Law School?

She had exactly two publications in law review journals when she got tenure and has done very little since. A record like that would be a tough sell for tenure even in the nether regions of academia, never mind the most elite schools in the land.

Once again, the same people are hyping Kagan as absolutely brilliant. In a recent Huffington Post article (”Elena Kagan Emerging As Supreme Court Front-Runner“), Charles Fried says, “She is a supremely intelligent person, really one of the most intelligent people I have encountered, and I have met a lot of them, as one does in this business. She is very adroit politically. … She has quite a strong personality and a winning personality. I think she’s an effective, powerful person and a very, very intelligent person, and a very hardworking and serious person.” Fried also praised Kagan effusively in the earlier round, along with Laurence Tribe, another Jewish Harvard Law professor. As I noted, “Kagan was appointed Dean of Harvard Law by Lawrence Summers — also Jewish and with a strong Jewish identity. Summers and Kagan covered for Laurence Tribe when he lifted a passage from another scholar’s book without attribution. Ethnic networking is nothing if not reciprocal.

The religion issue rears its head only slightly: “There has been some superficial concern over Kagan’s religion — not because she’s Jewish but because without Stevens there will be no Protestants on the court.” And Kagan would be the first open homosexual on the court. (Actually, it’s surprising we aren’t hearing more about this, given how controversial sexual orientation and issues like homosexual marriage are these days.) But not to worry: “These are distractions not speed bumps, strategists predict, if Obama chooses to go with Kagan.”

No Protestants on the Supreme Court in a country that in living memory thought of itself as WASP at its very core. But, with Kagan, there would be three Jews. Who exactly are these “strategists” and what is the goal of their strategizing?

The really amazing thing is that Kagan is being framed as a conservative. But on the issues that really count — issues related to multiculturalism and free speech, there is every reason to suppose that Kagan is on the left...

It’s noteworthy that the organized Jewish community has a long record of opposing free speech related to multicultural issues not only in the US, but in a wide range of other countries. Kagan’s views fit well with the views of the organized Jewish community: Every effort should be made to restrict “hate speech” within the current legal context, but to do whatever possible to change the context so that such speech is outlawed.

In summary, Kagan “sees her job as a legal scholar to find a way to ensure that these goals are achieved while paying lip service to the legal tradition of the First Amendment.” And in the long run, she would just love it if the First Amendment would be jettisoned entirely.

So the hype for Kagan is dishonest on two counts: First, there is no evidence whatever that she is brilliant; all the evidence is that she has achieved far more in the academic world and in government than she deserves based on her actual performance. Second, she is inaccurately presented as a conservative. Her meager paper trail of academic writing is very clear that she would be a staunch warrior on the side of the multicultural left on critical issues like free speech.

And despite all the hyperbole from “conservatives” like Charles Fried, I suspect the people who are promoting her are well aware of that fact...LINK

Move along, move along. Avert your eyes. Nothing to see here. The Jews are God's "chosen" and their ascendancy should never be questioned, say the Judeo-Christian Zionist dispensationalists. Plus, they've been purified by the crucible of suffering and victimization, say the Judeo-phile liberals.

Their morality is sublime, so there's no need to worry if they dominate. Why just look at how morally sublime the Jewish Bolsheviks, the Jewish Zionists and the Jewish neocons have been --only a few tens of millions murdered by the self-centered, “progressive” authoritarian Statist politics like those advocated by Kagan, her Jewish cronies, and their predecessors between them. What’s to fear but fear itself?

What we may be witnessing in America and Europe is the post-Christian return of what is now known as the Darwinian process. Because its heirs are too politically correct/"sophisticated,” (read: stupid) and in the case of Judeo-Christian Zionists, too pig-headed and greedy, to comprehend and appreciate the gifts of Christianity and Western civilization, we're regressing to the reductionist, Darwinian survival of the fittest tribe. And no tribal affiliation or mentality is more fit for reductionist survivalism than organized Jewry.

We’re now fighting at their level, on their battlefield, by their rules -- at least until the sleeping giant of Western civilization can be awakened.

Problem is, in the mean time, tribalism is a stunted, primitive way to live that guarantees ongoing strife, enmity, warfare and epic suffering for the foreseeable future.

Ah, but the Judeos know better. Just bend over and follow the “chosen” on all fours wherever they lead you.
