Cloward-Piven v. Friedman - Sowell

Friedman and Sowell v. Commies
CLOWARD-PIVEN STRATEGY
My eldest, and politically inquisitive son was perusing the invaluable  Discover the Networks and came across CLOWARD-PIVEN STRATEGY.   

First proposed in 1966 and named after Columbia University sociologists Richard Andrew Cloward and Frances Fox Piven, the "Cloward-Piven Strategy" seeks to hasten the fall of capitalism by overloading the government bureaucracy with a flood of impossible demands, thus pushing society into crisis and economic collapse. 

Had I heard of it?  I thought so, but  hmmm. ( I wear a tee-shirt with my name, address, and phone number imprinted, front and back.   Gift from the family) Names rang bells ... yes! Voila !

(A thing of beauty)
Milton Friedman gives his brilliant assessment of equality. Tom Sowell heatedly debates Frances Fox Piven of "Cloward-Piven Strategy" fame.

The Cloward-Piven strategy:
"First proposed in 1966 and named after Columbia University sociologists Richard Andrew Cloward and Frances Fox Piven, the "Cloward-Piven Strategy" seeks to hasten the fall of capitalism by overloading the government bureaucracy with a flood of impossible demands, thus pushing society into crisis and economic collapse."
[And, like Obama, apostles of Saul Alinsky.]

Here's the Idea Channel where you can watch it all.  There's an ironical introduction by Arnold Alois Schwarzenegger, who subsequently forgot every thing he said.  Look at him now. 

Ikea Neatness


 Three 30 second reasons to be tidy

Holdren: Kill dem babies, doo-dah, doo dah

"Don't be silly, I was only 16 years old when he said those things. Besides, he paid his taxes.  I think."
• Women could be forced to abort their pregnancies, whether they wanted to or not;
• The population at large could be sterilized by infertility drugs intentionally put into the nation's drinking water or in food;
• Single mothers and teen mothers should have their babies seized from them against their will and given away to other couples to raise;
• People who "contribute to social deterioration" (i.e. undesirables) "can be required by law to exercise reproductive responsibility" -- in other words, be compelled to have abortions or be sterilized.
• A transnational "Planetary Regime" should assume control of the global economy and also dictate the most intimate details of Americans' lives -- using an armed international police force.

Impossible, you say? That must be an exaggeration or a hoax. No one in their right mind would say such things.

Well, I hate to break the news to you, but it is no hoax, no exaggeration. John Holdren really did say those things,
I don't know what the critical mass of people wanting this guy Obama removed is, but we'd better be getting close to it.

Obama's Blkbry

*bitch*

The wolf in your house

Today's Obama Administration Metaphor

From mom:


Who's the Racist?



*gasp*  Using crude racial epitaphs will earn you a reputation as a lowbrow, if not a punch in the snoot.  For that reason it's best not to get in the habit.  But emotional outbursts are like a man's erection, they can appear at the most inopportune time (said the lad called to the front of the classroom).  Nigger, for instance,  falls into that category of being socially crude and verboten, but its use does not automatically make you racist/
This is necessarily racist
"I don't want any nigger working for me."
This is not necessarily racist
"That fkn nigger cut me off!"
The first instance  is a classic example of believing that race accounts for differences in human character or ability and that a particular race is superior to others. The second instance, which could be uttered by the first guy, is at face value an expression of anger personification using the first visual characteristic available.  Other examples are:
  1. "That fkn Toyota cut me off!"
  2. "That bald fkr cut me off!"
  3. "That stupid bitch cut me off!"
  4. "That fkn Nazi cut me off!" (popular with liberals cut off by a car with a Bush-Cheney sticker).
  5. "That fkn redneck cut me off!" (Alabama plates - Liberal conception)
Haven't we all given the finger to "you stupid BMW asshole" for tailgating because you observe the 25 MPH speed limit?  When it turns out to be your neighbor in his new car, he's no longer an asshole. Sorry about that finger, heh.

Sometimes it's good to use invective that the Word Nazi's have banned, just to test whether the First Amendment is still operative (it's limping badly). I like jokes, including ethnic jokes.  My wife and kids are Polish, but I at one time had every Polish Jokes for the Bathroom book published.  I found this picture of Air Force One's tail number hilarious.  I didn't post it though, because it's unnecessarily uncongenial.  We'd be a hell of a lot better off if everyone had my sense of humor though, and tolerance (yes, tolerance is a two-way street).  I'm convinced of it.

Liberals hurl the term racist at everything because they are, in fact, racist.  We have a uniquely unqualified president today, elected by racists who saw as qualifications, a leftist radical and, as Joe Biden put it so succinctly -
  ... the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy.I mean, that's a storybook, man.
We're stuck with this avowed Marxist who scares the hell out of half of all Americans.  I've  not once heard anyone say "I don't want any nigger as my president," but I don't browse the Skinhead Nazi sites either.  Like you, I don't respect Clarence Thomas or Thomas Sowell for their black skin, but for their beautiful minds.  But Obama is a black mofker who threatens to dismantle the United States Constitution, just as Nancy Pelosi is a phony Catholic bitch doing the same thing.  I'm angry.  You're angry.  So, when that picture of Malia Obama wearing a Peacenik tee-shirt made the rounds, it resonated (rollover). 

Had Jenna Bush worn a Tee with her dad portrayed, well, we all know what image it provokes in the Liberal mind (rollover).  The sanctimonious hypocrites at KOS, a group I classify as modern day Hitler Youth, attacked FreeRepublic as an institution because some commenters got carried away on a post showing Malia in the peacenik shirt.  I want to scream. So I did.  Thank you for your forbearance.  

Monkey tricks

Bananas

Juice and I were discussing the Obama's, and somehow it led to this revelation. "Did you know this." she asked?  No. But now I do.  See, talking about the poseur can have a salutary effect some, very rare, times.. Thanks Juice.

Pope Obama

NEWSWEEK: Without a Doubt
Why Barack Obama represents American Catholics better than the pope does.


First, in deference to MoSup, she suggested that I read Wednesday's "Message From Mary."  So I did. 
IN THE DAYS AHEAD, I CAUTION YOU TO BE ALERT. THOSE WHO ARE THE LEADERS IN
THE WORLD ARE GREATLY CONFUSED AND DO NOT KNOW WHAT IS NEEDED. THEY DO NOT
SEE THE NEEDS OF THE PEOPLE, BUT PROFESS LOVE AND CONCERN FOR ALL. BE AWAKE
TO THEIR DECEITFUL WAYS. THEY WILL DECEIVE THEMSELVES AND FIND THEMSELVES
HELPLESS AND FRIGHTENED. BUT GOD KNOWS THEIR EVERY THOUGHT, EVERY PLAN AND
THEY SHALL NOT SUCCEED IN THEIR OWN PLAN, BUT FIND THEMSELVES VULNERABLE AND
WEAK BEFORE GOD AND MAN. TRUST THAT WHAT IS TO TRANSPIRE IS OF GOD AND THEN
WATCH - BE ALERT. RECOGNIZE GOD'S HAND AND BE GLAD.
The message from the Real King of France is, how fkn dare they?  How dare they equate Pope Benedict with a man who consistently votes for the  infanticide that is "late term abortion, and disallowing medical treatment for the aborted who somehow survive being ripped apart in utero exitus?  How dare they not only repeat the lie that Joe Ratzinger was a happy Hitler Youth, but promote him to "German army soldier?'
During this period in the seminary, following his 14th birthday in 1941, Ratzinger was enrolled in the Hitler Youth, as membership was legally required in effect beginning March 25, 1939. [7] According to biographer John Allen, Ratzinger was an unenthusiastic member who refused to attend meetings.[4]Following the seminary closure he required continued attendance with the Hitler Youth to not receive financial penalties in the Gymnasium tuition fees. The financial penalty, which theoretically required documentation of attendance at Hitler Youth activities was overlooked when [5] a sympathetic mathematics professor allowed him not to attend any meetings. [Wikipedia]
The author of this slander is Kathleen Kennedy Townsend, the erstwhile Lt. Gov.of Maryland, and the first Kennedy ever to lose an election (twice).  She, like Uncle Ted, ought be excommunicated by the church, and horsewhipped by the public, of which I am a part.  Newsweek should be burn ... but I digress. 

Mil-Cross

Crossbows & Blowguns
Just yesterday, while speaking with a pal about the Administration's war on firearms, I offered that I'd recently posted on the subject of acquiring crossbows and blowguns.  Two hours later I spied this picture.  Cosmic.

STFU Noonan

Peggy Noonan

Nothing demonstrates the seachange that's taken place within the Republican/Conservative/Libertarian complex than Peggy Noonan.  Sweet Peggy.  Author of  Bush 41's  "a thousand points of light."  For some time now, having nothing whatever to do with politics, I've found Noonan to be increasingly unctuous, and her writing condescendingly preachy.  I bought her book (forgot which), but quickly drowned in the oceans of sweet syrup she heaps on everything. Now I view her along with other erstwhile conservatives, a repugnancy.  I'll let the Sophist speak for me, and millions of others I'll venture.

That I am a fan of Sarah Palin is not, I think, a secret.  That I did absolutely nothing for the 2008 election until McCain named Palin as his running mate is true.  That I regard Sarah Palin as the future of the Republican Party, and absolutely the most astonishing politician I have seen since Ronald Reagan, may be sign of bias and foolishness on my part… but it is nonetheless true.

Because I think Sarah Palin is the most gifted politician in a generation — quite possibly since Ronald Reagan himself — with an incredibly compelling personal story and rock-solid principles, I regarded her recent resignation as a real positive, as Kowalski did, because she is now free to become the focal point of both the national conservative movement and the conservative wing of the Republican Party.  She astonished me with her decision to resign.  If she never runs for elected office again, well, that’s her decision.  I suspect that we’ll hear from her again.

It's Noonan, and ilk, who David Kahane spoke of in I Still Hate You, Sarah Palin, on the failure to confront the evil we face with all out war.
Of course, you won’t. You’re too nice, too enamored of history and tradition to realize that the rules have changed. Remember, I live and work in a town where, “Hello, he lied,” isn’t a joke; we men of the Left are perfectly comfortable lying, cheating, and stealing — hello, Senator Franken! — in order to attain and keep political power. Not for nothing is one of our mottos, “By Any Means Necessary.” You see, we’re the good guys, and for us the ends always justify the means. We are, literally, shameless, which is why Bill Clinton is now a multi-millionaire and Eliot Spitzer is already on the comeback trail.
Peggy Noonan is lobbying for sainthood; Palin is a blue collar warrior.  What the times call for.

Obama's Birth - Cluster Fu** Continues

BORN AT KAPI'OLANI
The clusterfu** continues.
At least one, maybe two different people commented on my posts about the  "Kapi'olani Medical Center – the place of my birth ... .'"  letter that was posted on the hospital's web site. (Hawaii Bound ; Hawaii Bound), noting the letter was a fake because there was no presidential seal.  My response was that I didn't know whether all WH stationary had the seal, but  Representative Neil Abercrombie "Read the very special congratulatory message sent by President Barack Obama," and he should know. Still, I could find no letterhead examples without the seal, and it was unusual that a narcissist like Obama, who used a replica of the seal while campaigning, and then created another "President Elect" version would send anything without the gold braid. So I asked WND about it.  Here's what happened.
  1. Within hours of WND's story, the hospital pulled the letter from its website. This is particularly funny, because Snopes, within hours of the story, changed their claim that Obama was born in Queen's Hospital, to Kapi'olani Medical Center to conform with the letter.
  2. The text of the letter was read aloud by U.S. Rep. Neil Abercrombie, D-Hawaii, at the hospital's Centennial Dinner which took place on the evening of Jan. 24, and was recorded on video posted online by Kapi'olani, as well as excerpted now on this YouTube video

  1. Abercrombie even posted the information on his congressional website, saying the letter would be "settling the question once and for all."
  2. The letter was created by the hospital to replicate the longer letter Abercrombie read from.

The presence of those Born in Kapi'olani tee-shirts certainly indicates that this was a planned effort to put to rest the questions,and multiple lawsuits, about Obama's citizenship.  Throughout this entire affair, Obama has taken great pains to keep his fingerprints off of anything to do with it  (even that meaningless green "certification" document was released by the KOS website).  I suspect so that when the thing finally blows up, he can argue "Look, how was I supposed to know where I was born, I was only zero years old when it happened?" 

There is much more here for those inclined.
