Cloward-Piven in Full Flower?

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?

What the heck are you talking about? John McLame told us during his presidential loser campaign that there was nothing to fear from a Barack Obama Presidency. The establishment GOP, after 6 years of a President Obama has still not found anything to fear. Obama's just playing the political game, nothing's wrong, it's politics as usual.

And that judging the GOP by its actions, not the occassional rhetoric that squeaks out when they feel they must say something to their racist, bigotted, bitter, angry white voters. They wish they had other voters, so they're importing hispanics by the million. Yup, this plan will work, the Establishment GOP are genius' and the only way the GOP can win. You doubt that? Just ask them.

Well done. Our collective sense of outrage, the kind of mass outrage that could put enough pressure on the bastards to stop the madness, is burned out. There are just not enough Americans paying attention and those who are are both too exhausted from the continual bombardment of corruption and too busy trying to earn a living to reach that kind of critical mass.

Are the “Romney would have been every bit as bad” crowd still making the argument?

I am a kind-hearted man. I am empathetic and compassionate... and I can only imagine the grief and anguish that the Obama girls would suffer if this President were to be appropriately dealt with by someone that sees the larger picture.

But then... there is a lot of heartbreak out there in this world... and I suppose it is there for some reason. I would like to believe that all people deserve more joy and less trauma... but maybe it is time for a little bit of appropriate balance to be dealt out here.

Anyway, I understand your points. Thanks for your post.

...behind every blade of grass.

I don’t know, but I think many of us would be unhappy with a lot of what Romney would do as president, but I seriously doubt that he could have been anywhere near the calamity we have with 0.

[JewishRighter]

I understand your views and we probably share very similar feelings about 0. I just think a violent end would be horrific for the country and the negative results for the state of our culture and our constitutional republic would far outweigh any emotional gratification. Kind of like Obi Wan Kanobe saying “If you strike me down, I will become more powerful than you can imagine”

I’m just questioning their capability, that’s all.

That's my view - Romney wouldn't have been perfect. He had some opinions that I didn't care for, but he also allowed that it wasn't the Federal government's job to make some of the decisions (Romney Care vs. Obama Care) because what was legal for a State was, in this case illegal/unconstitutional for the Feds to dictate. He opined that he thought that homos should be allowed in the Boy Scouts, but also added the caveat that it should be the Boy Scouts' decision vs. outsiders.

I can live with someone who I disagree with as long as they won't go lawless to force their opinions on me. I also have no doubt about the absolute disaster Obama has been with the economy and foreign relations (not to mention all the hard-core leftists and muslims he has surrounded himself with.
