Frances Fox Piven: "We Desperately Need A Popular Uprising" (video)

We've got the TEA Party. It looks like a popular uprising to me. (A very well-mannered popular uprising, but a popular uprising nonethless.)

And that, of course, is the flaw in the Cloward-Piven strategy: Americans faced with the system being overwhelmed by a crisis of the sort Prof. Piven thought would bring calls for socialism are turning out to prefer telling the government to pound sand and fixing the problems themselves, rather than clamoring for the state to save them.

So, this old hag actually said “we desperately need a popular uprising”?

From the dictionary:
Sedition: incitement of resistance to or insurrection against lawful authority

I read just a little while back where this Piven woman Said something to the effect of: “Why are people upset about things I say or do? I'm just a little old woman and can't hurt anybody…” (I had the paraphrase that, because I couldn't find the original quote.)

Yep. This woman, and her hideous husband/partner/friend or whatever he was (of the Cloward side of the Cloward-Piven equation) had a hand in the policies of the Clinton administration as shown in the picture below at the signing of the Motor-Voter legislation:

Here is the communist piece of crap today: (notice the clothes...)

I would like to say that I think our country would be safer when she's the same temperature as her old Marxist pal Mr. Cloward, but unfortunately that won't be the case. Socialists/Marxists/communists always seem to find fertile, empty minds to plant their failed, corrosive and destructive ideologies in. When she's gone, her ideas are going to unfortunately live on in the reptilian hind brains of many liberals, particularly the liberals pouring out of universities into economies that her ideals and principles have effectively crippled, and are well on their way to destroying.

But, after all, why should we be surprised? It has long been their stated goal to do just that. But, people didn't really believe it. They thought that people like her were just marginal, little old women who wouldn't hurt anybody.
