Cloward-Piven at the border

Back in the Sixties, Marxists Richard Cloward and Frances Fox Piven came up with a great strategy for overloading and collapsing democratic welfare states, paving the way for socialist tyranny. Basically, the idea was to hit the system with a tidal wave of demands it couldn’t refuse, and couldn’t possibly fulfill. The Left would then insist that the moral argument for the system remained intact, so the only way to meet those impossible demands was to scrap every vestige of Constitutional restraint and republican self-government, instituting a totalitarian system that in theory would forcibly restructure society to promote “fairness” and give all those government dependents what they “deserve.” (In practice, of course, what you actually get is an iron-fisted dictatorship that cooks up reports to make itself look good, or simply tells the unhappy citizens to shut up and obey when things deteriorate to the point that no volume of phony reports can paper over the problems – say, when the glorious worker’s paradise of Venezuela runs out of tap water.)

Cloward and Piven were specifically interested in replacing welfare programs with a government-guaranteed annual income for everyone – an idea that still emerges from the more absurd quarters of the Left occasionally – but the basic idea of overloading the republican system and replacing it with centrally-planned tyranny can be applied in many different ways. Take a look at the humanitarian crisis on the southern border, which I wrote about two weeks ago. It has since burst onto the front pages with some astonishing stories, including leaked photos of illegal alien children – many of them 12 years old and younger – “warehoused” in overcrowded facilities, where there are growing concerns about sanitation and disease. CBS News in Houston writes of unaccompanied minors sleeping on plastic boards in a

Why do we need Cloward-Piven at the border when we have it in the WH?

What liberals know is that such an idea cannot be paid for, but the media leads the lazy into thinking it's a good idea.

Are these the two marxists that Obama and Stephanapous studied under at Columbia??

It is not just the border.

The “Signature” of the Ophonybama administration is Cloward-Piven, and that will be his legacy.

Ophonybama and his LIEberal/Socialist/Marxist/Fascist thugs have used C-P strategy throughout their reign of terror against the American people.

Bob Livingston makes a cogent case for impeaching Ophonybama here: http://personalliberty.com/case-obamas-impeachment/

It is a great read.

I sent the article to Congressman Ander Crenshaw and called upon him to introduce Articles of Impeachment in the House.

I also sent it to Senator Rubio and asked him to support and vote for impeachment when the trial gets to the Senate.

No response FRom either of them, just yet.

Two can play 0bama’s little game.

All it takes is some gumption.

Border governors should declare martial law along the border and invoke the national guard to patrol and enforce it. They are sovereign states and have the right and duty to act.

When liberals scream and federal judges issue injunctions, the governors tell the feds to get stuffed, as they have a crisis to deal with.

If Barry wants a crisis, he can have one.

Of course, Republicans will never act in this way, because Karl Rove will tell them it polls badly in suburban Virginia.

[Taxman]

The Ophonybama administration will be known as the Cloward-Pliven Thugocracy Regime.

Our formely Law and Order society is being overrun by thugs implementing Cloward-Pliven throughout America.

If we don’t stop them, America as we knew it, is doomed!

Border governors should declare martial law along the border and invoke the national guard to patrol and enforce it. They are sovereign states and have the right and duty to act.

But that is precisely what he wants. He wants to deconstruct our civil society and install a paramilitary dictatorship. Americans are used to freedom of movement and this is yet another step in militarization.

The left WANTS confrontation. They yearn for it. When there is disorder, they feel that the masses are more easily motivated.

Personally I like the ChiCom solution: make the so-called “intellectuals” work in the fields as migrant workers, digging ditches and for an American twist, work at Walmart as janitors and live on a working man’s salary.

Wonder how long they would last?

And thanks to Ted Kennedy’s time in the Senate he put the strategy in place to do the same in education, health care and environment. All collapsing when the Alinsky/Marxists are in control. Why can’t our side see this!

Well then WHY DON’T THEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NOW FOR GOD’S SAKE. What the hell is Perry doing?

Federal officials told Brewer Friday that the practice will continue for the foreseeable future, and this weekend more than 1,000 illegal immigrant children will be “dumped” in Arizona. Adults and family units will also arrive, though Brewer was not told how many, her office said.”

This was supposed to stop on Sunday but from what I hear they're still coming. The ones that come are given food, water, clothing, diapers, etc. Plus a checkup and vaccinations. AZ should bus them to dee cee and Cape Cod.

[Jedidah]

Lucy, thanks for the ping. I have been thinking exactly this. It’s intentional, and it’s aimed primarily at red states Texas and Arizona.

Maddening. Will we ever recover from what this bunch of thugs have done to our country?

[melancholy]

“AZ should bus them to dee cee and Cape Cod.”

Good idea!

There’s also that new empty house in Asheville, NC. It should be used for the poor squatters. After all, illegal immigrants are 0b0z0’s people.

That also should go for the districts where Boehner, Cantor and any other RHINOs represent.

or Pol Pot's method..shot after show trial;

ChiCOM: How long? 180/360 days..sooner,
if they argue w/ the guards, which they will do.

[GregNH]

If I were Brewer I would put them on a bus to the National Mall, tell em Obama will take care of you.
