What is the Cloward-Piven strategy?

ACORN was created to implement the Cloward-Piven strategy. Barack Obama was a trainer of the trainers for ACORN. He also was a lawyer for ACORN. President Obama is now implementing the Cloward-Piven strategy from the Oval Office. The Democratic party congressional leadership is helping him.

So what is the Cloward-Piven strategy? It is a simple strategy. In one sentence, it is creating an overwhelming demand for government services leading to a collapse of the government and chaos so that a new socialist utopia can then be formed.

The original formulation of the strategy focused on welfare. This basic concept has long since been expanded to include all demands for government expenditures, for example, interest on the national debt.

The 2009 stimulus, Cap and Trade, ObamaCare and all the rest look different when seen in this light.

It is a modern incarnation of an ancient strategy: force your opponent to expend his resources until he collapses from exhaustion, then move in for the kill. Humans have been using this strategy since their beginning, and it is used throughout the animal kingdom. Imagine a pack of jackals running a gazelle to exhaustion, then moving in for their prize. This is the strategy of the Left for the United States. Note that it is not illegal or even unfair. But it is sharply contrary to the intentions of the overwhelming majority of Americans.

As Robert Chandler wrote in the Washington Times:

"The strategy's goal is to bring about the fall of capitalism by overloading and undermining government bureaucracy. Its supporting tactics include flooding government with impossible demands until it slowly cranks to a stop."

And Nancy Coppock in the American Thinker:

"Making an already weak economy even worse is the intent of the Cloward/Piven Strategy."
