Cloward-Piven in Full Flower?
Vanity | March 2, 2015 | JewishRighter

Posted on 03/02/2015 6:26:48 PM PST by JewishRighter

Are we seeing Cloward-Piven snowballing right now? My head has been spinning almost from the first day of Obama's presidency with the endless scandals, lawlessness, arrogance, destructive policies foreign and domestic, the breakdown of the system of checks and balances, the utter lack of accountability for openly corrupt behavior, attacks on the social fabric of the country, rabid race baiting and class warfare and on and on. But, it seems to me that these last several months since the midterms, everything seems to have accelerated and metastasized to a whole new level. Obama is openly pushing Iranian nukes, Obama is openly flooding the country with a hostile wave of immigrants, Obama is banning ammunition by regulation, Obama is vetoing Keystone, Obama is advancing transgenderism into the mainstream, Obama is going to raise taxes by executive order, Obama is defending savage terrorism and warning threatening American patriots, Obama is planning to rapidly increase the rate at which America is going bankrupt by handing out money to the hostile immigrants, by simply writing checks to insurance companies hurting from ObamaCare, Obama is abandoning veterans, Obama is having more golf outings, more vacations. On every front the outrages multiply. As one commentator explained, the scandals and outrages come so fast day after day, that long before anyone has digested and reacted to one, the next day brings more, exhausting our ability to pursue the one from the day before.

A perfectly legal group of citizens are treated like enemies of the state in Soviet Russia.

I'm not saying we're doomed and just screaming about it. I'm asking if what we are seeing is the culmination of a Cloward-Piven type of strategy to simply bury the country under the weight of so much chaos, corruption, conflict and anger that it creates a situation for these maniacs exploit to really "fundamentally transform" America to a full fledged socialist state. Or, are we just seeing Obama throwing caution to the wind with no more elections on the line and making a mad dash to the finish line? Not that these scenarios are mutually exclusive, but is it a deliberate plan to crash the country or just Obama trying to do all the damage he can before the clock runs out?

Boner and McConnell need to attack 0bama with a new offensive each day.

It will never happen; they both are fat and lazy. They are the Washington Generals and enjoy getting paid to lose.

I have long thought that Obama wants part of the US citizens to start shooting. He wants CWII. He doesn't (necessarily) have to win the war. Even by losing, he would win. I think he wants American permanently taken off the world stage so that the Caliphate can rise with no serious opposition. If he can get this country to tear itself apart, he wins -- no matter the outcome.

I think he is surprised and frustrated that we continue to "sit back and take it". I think he will push harder and harder until we snap. That's the plan.

I think it has been and will be a lot harder than Piven thought.

I mean, can you really destroy something vastly complex like the American economy if you didn’t create in the first place?

Cloward and Piven are both Pointyheaded intellectuals with a theory.

I expect that it won't work out the way they thought it would.

I’ve often thought so as well.

I think he is an idiot, and no more capable of planning anything than a pet turtle. I think he is just enacting the same brain dead stupid liberal ideas that he's heard all his life. That they would screw a country up is axiomatic. Look how Venezuela is working out.

Yeah. They are doing it right now by printing money. Inflation is going crazy right now, and I see things just getting worse.

But look at how Venezuela was in their best days.

Not exactly the most powerful nation on earth.

I’ve often wondered what will be the match that sets off the powder keg.

It’s coming no doubt. He should be careful what he wishes for.

Folks still have too much to lose. Economic hardship, hunger, losing entire nesteggs, world war might give a feeling of hopelessness.

Americans I believe are stunned. This is all coming so fast that folks are being inundated by events.
