A Step Back

It is time to take a step back and take a deeper dive into who/what shaped Mr. Obama’s beliefs. Certainly his mother and grand-parents, his Thai step-father, his Muslim grade school education, his high school mates all had an impact on Mr. Obama’s view of the world. We now come to his formal education. Since Mr. Obama and his handlers are not allowing his transcripts to be released we can only speculate on his course curriculums and his attendant grades. We do know that he is an admirer of the Cloward/Piven Strategy. So what is this?

The Cloward/Piven Strategy is named after Columbia University sociologists Richard Andrew Cloward and Frances Fox Piven. Their goal was to overthrow capitalism by overwhelming the government bureaucracy with entitlement demands. The created crisis provides the impetus to bring about radical political change.

According to Discover the Networks.org: Rather than placating the poor with government hand-outs, wrote Cloward and Piven, activists should work to sabotage and destroy the welfare system; the collapse of the welfare state would ignite a political and financial crisis that would rock the nation...

Hmmm. Was the Stimulus Package intended to fix or break the system? What are we really trying to do with the Healthcare Bill?

Making an already weak economy even worse is the intent of the Cloward/Piven Strategy. It is imperative that we view the American Recovery and Reinvestment Plan's spending on items like food stamps, jobless benefits, and health care through this end goal. This strategy explains why the Democrat plan to "stimulate" the economy involves massive deficit spending projects. It includes billions for ACORN and its subgroups such as SHOP and the Neighborhood Stabilization Program. Expanding the S-Chip Program through deficit spending in a supposed effort to "save the children" only makes a faltering economy worse.

If Congress were to allow a robust economy, parents would be able to provide for their children themselves by earning and keeping more of their own money. Democrats, quick to not waste a crisis, would consider that a lost opportunity.

The Cato Institute reports that the plan will harm a faltering economy, intentionally causing increased job losses leading to increased demands for the aforementioned programs. Even the jobs to be created are set apart to render social justice, not economic revival. Robert Reich believes new infrastructure jobs should not go to white construction workers. Meanwhile, workers at Microsoft, IBM, Texas Instruments, and the retail market find themselves experiencing the life of the welfare poor.

If highly educated and trained workers continue to lose jobs and business falters as a whole, where will these jobless workers go? Could this be construed as revolutionary social reorganization that puts the underachiever above the achiever? Where is the future economic strength when jobless professionals collect welfare and unemployment while dreaming of a minimum wage job? For whites, there's not even the hope of a good paying construction job.

Because these programs are financed with deficit spending, the effect of the Cloward/Piven Strategy becomes doubly destructive. Talk about a perfect storm! The Democrat stimulus plan is a mechanism whose goal is the destruction of the traditional American way of life. It is bitter irony that the American taxpayer will actually fund the destruction of their own ability to live according to the values of our Founding Documents. It is not alarmist to identify this situation as a coup d’état.

As the flow of money from the top of the economy dries up, job losses and mortgage busts will mount exponentially. The Democrat stimulus plan provides for welfare expansion but not for a robust economy that creates high paying jobs. Is this what Obama means when he warns, "It's going to get worse before it gets better?" If we are not bailing out corporate America so they can regain profitability, we must conclude Obama is working toward another end goal. Recognizing these attack methods reveals the only logical response -- an unwavering wall of "No!"

James Simpson in the American Thinker discussed the infamous Cloward-Piven strategy of manufactured crisis. This is a very scary scenario, and we are watching it unfold in front of us.

Mr. Obama’s “head fake” strategies continue. Healthcare is at the top of the headlines while we ignore a racist being nominated for the Supreme Court, Cap and Trade (potentially the largest tax package ever foisted on the American tax payer) move through congress and various versions of Mr. Obama’s healthcare crisis creating noise in the system.

This guy is good! As I said in a previous post, "Mr. Obama, you scare me!"

The American Thinker had a few thoughts about how smart is Mr. Obama. Check it out,
