It will fail. Coward and Piven assume we will sit by and allow these parasites to do it. We will not.

The monsters - and I do mean monsters - who now control the White House have The Prince on their nightstands. Get a clue, folks, as to what this meand for you and yours.
Thanks for sharing. I posted all over my Facebook, too. Glenn Beck was begging us all to familiarize ourselves with Cloward-Piven and to share with everyone. Glenn had a good, conservative Congressman on his show who had not heard of Cloward-Piven, so that just means we can’t assume even our own side is familiar with the strategy. Saul Alinsky strategy has made news, but not Cloward-Piven so much.
Patrick Rooney discussed this on the Jesse Lee Peterson Radio Show this morning...here are his 11 rules for radicals
In 1971, Saul Alinsky wrote an entertaining classic on grassroots organizing titled Rules for Radicals. Those who prefer cooperative tactics describe the book as out-of-date. Nevertheless, it provides some of the best advice on confrontational tactics. Alinsky begins this way:
What follows is for those who want to change the world from what it is to what they believe it should be. The Prince was written by Machiavelli for the Haves on how to hold power. Rules for Radicals is written for the Have-Nots on how to take it away.
His “rules” derive from many successful campaigns where he helped poor people fighting power and privilege
For Alinsky, organizing is the process of highlighting what is wrong and convincing people they can actually do something about it. The two are linked. If people feel they don’t have the power to change a bad situation, they stop thinking about it.
According to Alinsky, the organizer — especially a paid organizer from outside — must first overcome suspicion and establish credibility. Next the organizer must begin the task of agitating: rubbing resentments, fanning hostilities, and searching out controversy. This is necessary to get people to participate. An organizer has to attack apathy and disturb the prevailing patterns of complacent community life where people have simply come to accept a bad situation. Alinsky would say, “The first step in community organization is community disorganization.”
Through a process combining hope and resentment, the organizer tries to create a “mass army” that brings in as many recruits as possible from local organizations, churches, services groups, labor unions, corner gangs, and individuals.
Alinsky provides a collection of rules to guide the process. But he emphasizes these rules must be translated into real-life tactics that are fluid and responsive to the situation at hand.
Rule 1: Power is not only what you have, but what an opponent thinks you have. If your organization is small, hide your numbers in the dark and raise a din that will make everyone think you have many more people than you do.
Rule 2: Never go outside the experience of your people.
The result is confusion, fear, and retreat.
Rule 3: Whenever possible, go outside the experience of an opponent. Here you want to cause confusion, fear, and retreat.
Rule 4: Make opponents live up to their own book of rules. “You can kill them with this, for they can no more obey their own rules than the Christian church can live up to Christianity.”
Rule 5: Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon. It’s hard to counterattack ridicule, and it infuriates the opposition, which then reacts to your advantage.
Rule 6: A good tactic is one your people enjoy. “If your people aren’t having a ball doing it, there is something very wrong with the tactic.”
Rule 7: A tactic that drags on for too long becomes a drag. Commitment may become ritualistic as people turn to other issues.
Rule 8: Keep the pressure on. Use different tactics and actions and use all events of the period for your purpose. “The major premise for tactics is the development of operations that will maintain a constant pressure upon the opposition. It is this that will cause the opposition to react to your advantage.”
Rule 9: The threat is more terrifying than the thing itself. When Alinsky leaked word that large numbers of poor people were going to tie up the washrooms of O’Hare Airport, Chicago city authorities quickly agreed to act on a longstanding commitment to a ghetto organization. They imagined the mayhem as thousands of passengers poured off airplanes to discover every washroom occupied. Then they imagined the international embarrassment and the damage to the city’s reputation.
Rule 10: The price of a successful attack is a constructive alternative. Avoid being trapped by an opponent or an interviewer who says, “Okay, what would you do?”
Rule 11: Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, polarize it. Don’t try to attack abstract corporations or bureaucracies. Identify a responsible individual. Ignore attempts to shift or spread the blame.
According to Alinsky, the main job of the organizer is to bait an opponent into reacting. “The enemy properly goaded and guided in his reaction will be your major strength.

All these clowns in D.C. better have some damn good security when all this happens. I wouldn’t want to be in their shoes.
When I first heard about the Cloward Piven Strategy and 0bama’s love of the use of crisis, I was very afraid for this country. I did not believe that people in this country would catch on soon enough to stop them nor did I believe that most people would even understand the strategy well enough to recognize the danger.
Then I realized the real flaw in their strategy as well as the flaw in all liberals plans. They don’t believe in God and their plans all fail to recognize His work.
No matter what they do, or plan or think, I believe God is working this for His good. As Christians we are told that the poor we will always have with us. To blunt the affects of this strategy, we need to remember that and plan for it accordingly. Work the soup kitchens and food pantries. Have food and clothing set aside so that we can provide services to those who are poor when govt., for whatever reason, proves unable to do so.
The reason why the working class or proletariat, as Marxists call them, did not rise up and over throw last time as they expected, was because there was a govt. safety net. So when they try to dismantle the safety net, they will find a providential net from God in its place. If we as Christians do our job as commanded — take care of the poor, the widows and the orphans, we will lay all their plans to waste.
Does that include the poor-by-choice? I don't mean religious under vows of poverty, or those who really are dysfunctional; I mean the bums who do not wish to help themselves.

Scared me so bad I had to bookmark it.
Some FReeper posted a damn fine flow chart of the C-P Strategy. I’ll see if I can find the thread.
Graphic here.
Given that the Man-Child never managed anything larger than a staged UnionThugRallyTM, it seems Rule 2 has come back to bite them on the ass.
Hint: the reason the SEIU protests didn't work (and the White House had NO plan B, and never will) is that they thugs were basically outnumbered around 100 to 1 by REAL grassroots America.
Within a couple of years, Obama will be little more than a skid mark in the underwear of US politics.
