Let's make Cloward-Piven Strategy the next item the "expanding your vocabulary" list of everyone in America.

[xkaydet65]

It's a strategy for winning conflict developed by a great American patriot and jet jock named John Boyd. It involves obsering the environment and orienting your tinking to what you see. Then you decide on a course of action, implement it and begin the observation of its effects on your opponent. You perform the four steps and increase the tempo to get indide your opponents decision making process.

Observe Orient Decide Act. This idea is instinctive among air force fighter pilots and naval aviators. It was taught by Boyd in his well known lectures at the National War College. Attended by Captain John Sydney McCain USN.

that is amazing.

i was just reading it on the link as you posted to me.

i remember when i was an undergrad i worked in the university bookstore and cloward and piven books

were used by the sociology and political science departments for classes.

[Intolerant in NJ]

And John McCain? Erratic in a crisis. Out of touch on the economy. No wonder his campaign wants to change the subject...erratic? out of touch? - talk about trying to change the subject......

[gidget7]

Hahaha my sentiments exactly. Obambi sounds like a little kid, I know you are but what am I, and the old I’m rubber you’re glue!

[ken21]

i hope so.

if it gets messy, so be it.

better messy now than a socialist government later.

[Right Wing Assault]

His campaign is going up Monday on national cable stations with a scathing ad

Barack, how can you preempt on Monday something that was started two days earlier by Palin?

[Salamander]

Without being specific, the officials said outside groups may focus on Wright.

Sounds like a "have at it" order, to me.

[Scotswife]

Here’s hoping McCain can multitask...tie Obama to fannie/freddie fiaso as well as tie him to terrorists and radical marxists.

[SaintDismas]

Exacta-mundo friend. 0baby can’t take the high road, lies do get exposed sooner or later. Sooner or later. I prefer NOW!!!

[mudblood]

They should hit and keep on hitting until his world is spinning in pain. He’s so incredibly vulnerable in so many ways, and everyone loves to put Palin on TV.

Hit him thus:
1) never voting on important issues
2) having made a statement to support just about anything, liberal or conservative, that could be supported. That way, they can say things like, “As I said before, I respect the 2nd amendment”.
3) standing by Chicago politicians while they took advantage of the people he was supposed to stand up for - he supported them, campaigned for them, and today, he profits from those connections.
4) being nothing but a salesman, a con artist, an imitation public servant who sold his soul a million times over.

Politico has already endorsed Obama or very soon will be.
You do not have to be a brain surgeon to figure that out.

[LegalEagle61]

Someone I was talking to recently said that he has been following the Phil Berg situation, and said that Berg wants to get this done with ASAP, so the Dems can get someone else on the ticket (Hillary, I presume). He believes that the Pubbies have something devastating on Obama, and he wants to beat them to the punch. I haven't been following the Phil Berg thing very closely, so I don't know how accurate that is, BUT it certainly makes sense. And I pray that he is right!

I have to believe that the GOP knows all the stuff we do, if we can find it, they must have people working on it for the Oct surprise. No way would they let Obama get away with this. I think it is all a matter of timing it just perfect.

[Lancey Howard]

I have to question why McCain - - or any other candidate - - would tip off the scumbag leftists newsrooms about their strategies. I mean, McCain wouldn’t have told the Germans, “Hey, we’re going to be storming the beaches at Normandy on June 6th”, would he?

[LegalEagle61]

Obama had to already know this was coming. You don’t have associations like those and expect that your opponent won’t use them at the opportune time.

[Harry Wurzbach]

In a crisis, Barack Obama does nothing and hopes someone else takes care of it.

Meanwhile, Barack is friends with just about every extreme left wing kook known to mankind.

[SlapHappyPappy]

So, who in the McCain campaign leaked the strategy. It was out before Palin went on the offensive.

[shield]

The old warhorse...old fighter pilot...OODA loop......

[LegalEagle61]

Obama also UNDERESTIMATES the POWER of US and other conservative bloggers like us.
