Joe Biden Defends Elena Kagan's Anti-Military Stand at Harvard
Posted by Jim Hoft on Tuesday, May 11, 2010, 11:08 AM
VP Joe Biden defended Obama’s far left Supreme Court pick Elena Kagan during an ABC interview. Elena Kagan, as dean of the law school, expelled military recruiters from the Harvard campus in defiance of The Solomon Act. Her case was rejected by even the most liberal justices of the Supreme Court. Biden, of course, defended her anti-military stand.
Via ABC News and BreitbartTV:
Kagan not only kicked the military recruiters off campus but she attended anti-military rallies.

Kagan told fellow protesters at the rally:
“I’m very opposed to two government policies that directly violate our policy of nondiscrimination and directly impact our students,” stated Dean Kagan at the rally. “The first is ‘Don’t ask, don’t tell.’…. The second is the Solomon Amendment which effectively forces educational institutions to make exceptions to their nondiscrimination policy when it comes to the military and military recruitment.”

Ummm…DADT was implemented by a Democratic congress and signed into law by a democrat president. The military is simply enforcing the law enacted by Congress.
If it’s “discriminatory” blame Congress, not the military.
catmman commented:
Oh, and Joe “BFD” Biden voted FOR DADT btw.

M/C Biden has zero princples. He’s a POLITARD. Life long HACK who stands for nothing.
Picric commented:
I must confess that I owe Miss Kagan much. I read about the Military Recruiters and how they were kicked off campus at Harvard and UW (University of Wisconsin) followed there lead, and would write my first editorial to the local paper and to the school itself asking them what the heck they were thinking when they thought this up. In retrospect Kagan got me involved, just not the way she probably would have wanted.
Dennis Thompson commented:
Ladies and Gentlemen, … the Idiot Joe Biden!!!
pagar commented:
I don’t see how one can say Joe Biden stands for nothing when he clearly states he supports someone who hates the US military to the extent she does not even want them recruiting at Harvard. I mark that down as someone who stands for those who hate our military.

In defending Kagan, Biden defies the Supreme Court’s decision.
John Gargano commented:
Kagan is very far from the mainstream and if her nomination is approved she will be a divisive activist judge that will only represent the views of a paltry fraction of the population.
People from academe, like Kagan, Obama and others, have never had to actually sing for their supper and they are thus isolated from the negative consequences of their actions.
This is why we see principals in schools putting forth absurd ideas like the American flag is incendiary and why we see educators like Kagan saying the Military shouldn’t be allowed to recruit on campus.

It might be fun to watch her explain her spanking in front of the Supreme Court, stammering and stuttering and repeating herself when each of the three points she tried to make got stuffed back down her throat. Even Ginsberg wasn’t buying her trash. She is as unqualified for SCOTUS Justice as Obama is for POTUS…she isn’t even qualified to clerk for Judge Judy.

“The first is ‘Don’t ask, don’t tell.’
I always thought that asking a person’s sexuality was a direct violation to that person’s privacy.
There is no other job that can ask that. It shouldn’t be asked in the military.
As far as the “Solomon Amendment,” if she wants to stand on some of misguided prinicple, she better be ready to pay for it.
Biden, who also is not the sharpest legal mind, defending Kagan is a bit laughable.
Really. Can’t the Obama administration do any better?

Elena Kagan’s appointment to US Supreme Court REEKS of political corruption of the WORST level. Andrew Cuomo just agreed to settle the criminal investications into corroption of the NY State Pension funds by Quadrangle Group and Global Strategies Group in mid April . The NY state politicians involved in this scandal were all friends of David Axelrod getting elected by hiring Axelrod’s AKPD marketing firm. Kagan’s appointment to the Supreme Court may very well be a crass political pay off for her compliance to corrupt this legal investigation, using her office as Solicitor General to persuade Cuomo to go easy on the pay to play criminals in the NY Assembly. For his role in looking the other way and fininding very little wrong doing, Cuomo gets the Governor position.

You thought wrong.

Really? Ever served in the military in close contact with other men? How about with women? Why don’t they bunk men and women together…well, they are trying to do that…submarines are going to be turned into the “Love Boat”, and they’ll give a whole new meaning to the phrase “take her down”. Do you suppose adding another dimension to the already troublesome sexual attraction toward a “fellow soldier” just MIGHT degrade discipline and good order and cause morale problems and “love triangles” and a host of other social problems that people in combat or isolated tours DON’T need to deal with? There is more, but if you don’t already understand the downside of having open homosexuality in the military, a two-minute primer won’t educate you.
By the way, Biden lied through his teeth about Kagan and the Soloman Amendment and the challenge SHE participated in that was rebuked by the Supreme Court, but we already knew he and everyone else in this administration is a bald faced liar.
jonyjoe101 commented:
Anyone who hates the military should never even be consider for a government job.
As far as DADT, “gays” are not allowed in the military, it is illegal as far as the UCMJ to engage in any homosexual activity while in the military. Is it descrimination?
Is it descrimination that I’m not allowed into Harvard because my scores are too low?
Is it discrimination that I can’t go to a woman’s college because I’m a man?
Sotomayer isn’t easy on the eyes, this beast is even worst. Are there any good looking liberals? Her views and background are hideous and she can’t even rely on her looks, she has nothing going for her.
burt commented:
Harvard was founded as Christian school, but it was long ago taken over by the Communists. Harvard made over 70 billion dollars from it investments two years ago. It could have educated the entire state for free, but that’s never going to happen!

Breaking The War Mentality by Barack Obama March 10, 1983
[.] We try to talk to that frustration.” Consequently. the thrust of ARA is towards generating dialogue which will give people a rational handle on this controversial subject. This includes bringing speakers like Daniel ElIsberg to campus, publishing fact sheets compiled by interested faculty, and investigating the possible development of an interdisciplinary program in the Columbia curriculum dealing with peace, disarmament, and ‘world order. Tied in with such a thrust is the absence of what Don calls “a party line.” [.]
[.] Also, the New York City Council may pass a resolution in April calling for greater social as opposed to military spending. Things like this may dispel the idea that disarmament is a white issue, because how the government spends its revenue affects everyone.” [.]
In 1933 the German establishment thought it could use Hitler to restore a modicum of order to the confused and confusing Weimar Republic. In fact, Hitler did strengthen the German establishment, but not exactly in the way the bankers and businessmen had wanted; and now, fifty years later, it is clear who was using whom. Nevertheless, the Western World did not complain in 1933 because Hitler, though a fascist and a totalitarian, was seen, like countless American puppet dictators today, as someone who leaves the established order in place.

Young Obama Wrote Article Blaming
America For ‘Growing Threat of War’
[If Obama still has this sensibility, he could be poised to take American foreign policy sharply to the left, notwithstanding the centrist foreign policy team he has assembled. Moreover, since Obama didn’t recognize the Soviet menace during the Cold War and blamed the possibility of war entirely on the United States, there’s good reason to think that today he could lack the moral clarity needed to fight radical Islam.]
Abdul-Malik also makes no bones about discussing how the election of President Obama is a step forward in the project of Islamization and the long term goal of Islamist domination which falls right in lock-step with that of the Muslim Brotherhood as revealed in their manifesto.
ya think??
