Suddenly Radical Frances Fox Piven Is Old “Widowed College Professor”
Big Journalism ^ | 1/24/11 | Dana Loesch

Posted on 01/24/2011 8:37:53 AM PST by Nachum

Frances Fox Piven has a history of flame-throwing. She’s better known as one-half of the infamous Cloward-Piven strategy, wherein she and her husband published a theory detailing how people could overwhelm the system, break the system, and then get higher, guaranteed income. From magic.Now that Piven’s calls for violent revolution have landed her in the … spotlight (you thought I was going to say crosshairs, didn’t you! You vitriolic person!) and the media is circling the wagons.The New York Times is concerned: On his daily radio and television shows, Glenn Beck has elevated once-obscure conservative thinkers onto best-seller lists.

Her husband was a professor and dean of Columbia’s school of social services for 47 years. Together they advocated a radical thesis calling for violence. How many of our current leaders and opinion shapers studied under him (them)??

Obama, Stephanopolis, .....??

There is a pedigree of ideas on display here for anyone who does a little research:

Gransci - Marcuse - Alinsky - Cloward-Piven.

then there’s

Marx - Freud - B.F Skinner - Nietzsche

Unfortunately, the Left succeeded in crossing those two streams of ideas. The results - very bad.

Dr. Egon Spengler: There’s something very important I forgot to tell you.
Dr. Peter Venkman: What?
Dr. Egon Spengler: Don’t cross the streams.
Dr. Peter Venkman: Why?
Dr. Egon Spengler: It would be bad.
Dr. Peter Venkman: I’m a little fuzzy on the whole “good/bad” thing, here. What do you mean, “bad”?
Dr. Egon Spengler: Try to imagine all life as you know it stopping instantaneously and every molecule in your body exploding at the speed of light.

I took a look at her; a little pop-eyed for my taste!

All I can say about her current appearance - she must have a really pretty portrait in her attic. Phew!

Geez, that photo burned my eyes! What well did she come out of?

I look at it this way; as long as this old hag is alive I'll have to be content with being the second ugliest person on earth.

Has anyone ever noticed that most of these old radical broads are butt ugly.
