Cloward & Piven were two NYU sociologists and Socialists that predicated that by overloading the welfare system and drive New York City so far into debt, it could not recover and Capitalism would have to be replaced by another form of governance (gee, guess which!).  They almost succeeded.

Once again, we see it at play but this time, on a national scale.  We are getting Dense Pack’d by the Obama Administration – in too many areas to fight back, our culture and Constitutional Republic are being pushed to the breaking point and now, a veritable Alinsky / Obama army is invading us.   In my inbox:

America is getting what it voted for: CHANGE! AND IT ALL BECOMES CRYSTAL CLEAR

There are 8 levels of control that must be obtained before you are able to create a social state. The first is the most important.

Re: here.  Here’s a GREAT reason why and it has nothing to do with being intellectual, being ideological, or philosophical.  And it COMPLETELY explains….

Many people are wondering why Republicans are not doing more to stop the Illegal Alien influx, and more specifically not stop President Obama’s approach.   We can answer that question…..

This guy, Tom Donohue, is at the root of the matter.  Tom Donohue is the President of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the CoC.  The CoC wants amnesty legislation, the CoC is also the primary source of campaign funding for the following Republicans:

Mitch McConnell (R-KY),  Rob Portman (R-OH), Bob Corker (R-TN),  Roger Wicker (R-MS),  John Barrasso (R-WY), Roy Blunt (R-MO), John Cornyn (R-TX), Dean Heller (R-NV),  Lisa Murkowski (R-AK), John Thune (R-SD), Lamar Alexander (R-TN), Saxby Chambliss (R-GA),  Dan Coats (R-IN), Mike Crapo (R-ID), Mike Enzi (R-WY), Chuck Grassley (R-IA), Orrin Hatch (R-UT), Mark Kirk (R-IL), Jerry Moran (R-KS),  Mike Johanns (R-NE), 

Kelly Ayotte (R-NH), 

John Boozman (R-AR), Richard Burr (R-NC),  Lindsey Graham (R-SC), Jim Inhofe (R-OK), Johnny Isakson (R-GA), John McCain (R-AZ), Jim Risch (R-ID), Pat Roberts (R-KS), Richard Shelby (R-AL),  Deb Fischer (R-NE) and John Hoeven (R-ND).

For those keeping score that’s 32, yes thirty two, of the current GOP Senators.

…why our Jr US Senator Kelly Ayotte went from being a raging

General Kelly had better be careful how he criticizes Obama’s and La Raza’s  (“The Race”) for completely opening our border with Mexicoor he’s gonna get to retire early (if not outright cashiered out) (emphasis mine, reformatted):

A top United States general in charge of protecting the southern border says he’s been unable to combat the steady flow of illegal drugs, weapons and people from Central America, and is looking to Congress for urgent help.  Marine Corps Gen. John Kelly, commander of U.S. Southern Command, has asked Congress this year for more money, drones and ships for his mission – a request unlikely to be met. Since October, an influx of nearly 100,000 migrants has made the dangerous journey north from Latin America to the United States border. Most are children, and three-quarters of the unaccompanied minors have traveled thousands of miles from El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras.

“In comparison to other global threats, the near collapse of societies in the hemisphere with the associated drug and [undocumented immigrant] flow are frequently viewed to be of low importance,” Kelly told Defense One. “Many argue these threats are not existential and do not challenge our national security. I disagree.”

Moms Demand Action, the Astro-turf group funded by former NYC Mayor and billionaire Michael Bloomberg (Wait!  I thought US Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said that the Democrats didn’t “have” any billionaires??) has been going around to commercial entities like Starbucks, Chili’s, Lowe’s, Home Depot – you get the idea.  Because they and their fellow “disarm the general populace” gun grabbers having had zippo lately for more infringing of peoples’ Second Amendment Rights, they’ve decided to tell private companies that they would punish them economically if they didn’t, in turn, punish those that wished to exercise their Right.

Target was their latest target, and with a few open carry folks that had no sense of common sense and nuance, the CEO put out a statement concerning customers and their guns.  Nicely worded, vague and all, but it seemed to give Moms Demand Action a glimmer that they got what they wanted.  Not quite.  If you translated it (as I am oft to say “We can say things that others can’t – or won’t”), it came out like this (H/T:  Bob Owens):

How the heck did we get caught up in this mess? All we want to do is sell cheap foreign-made stuff to hausfraus who feel they’re too good to be “people of Walmart.” We don’t want to be involved in gun rights politics at all.

But thanks to some grandstanding long-gun open carry yahoos in Texas who can’t figure out basic muzzle discipline, and the response of some shrill harpies in Indiana taking orders from a bitter under-sized billionaire in New York, we’re screwed through no fault of our own.

From Tom’s post about our Jr. Senator Kelly Ayotte signing up for this bill, Sportsmen’s Act S. 2363, that is being sponsored by known Democrat anti-gunners Senators (some of which are also Democrat illegal alien amnesty Senators), it mentioned:

The Sportsmen’s Act is, substantively, largely a “nothing-burger.” People could hunt on federal lands — unless Obama didn’t want them to. Dedicated funds (from the Pittman-Robertson tax) could be used for ranges — but don’t have to be, and probably wouldn’t be. Moreover, Section 107(b)(4)(B) of the bill says that the BLM or Forest Service can close down federal public lands that can be used for hunting and recreational purposes for a host of reasons, including “public safety.”

Not that I disbelieved them but I decided to read the 59 pages and pull out some of the verbiage to support the claim – turned out to be real easy:

Sec. 103 (d)

It is the sense of Congress that, consistent with applicable laws (including regulations), the Chief of the Forest Service and the Director of the Bureau of Land Management should cooperate with State and local authorities

SHOULD is not SHALL.  SHOULD mean “ok, if you wanna, if you feel like it, and if all political signs and smoke signals seemed to indicate “good to go”.  If having a bad hair day, naw.  Sorta like when concealed carry used to be “may” here in NH – it all depended upon if the issuer liked the idea or you.  If either of those were negative, you were out of luck.  However, the change to “shall” was a game changer – a POSITIVE issue instead of a WHIM issue.

Same with this Act.

From the video:

…I have been asked why I would, at the age of 60, retire from BAE systems, a magnificent extraordinary company and come to SAIC.  Raise your hands again?  That’s the reason. That’s the reason. and there is a difference between being in an extraordinary company and a company of extraordinary people.  We’ll talk a littl bit more about SAIC but that why I came to SAIC.

Um, when my wife thought I was going to retire, go to NH, get active politically; I said I will leave that to you.

…WE got a lot of problems in this country.  The TEA-Baggers or whatever they are, they’ve been telling us that all summer long, alright (semi-smirk). Isn’t that who they are? (fuller smirk to get the audience to titter).  I’m a little out of touch (full smirk, body language says he is pleased with himself).  Heh!

From Political Scoop, the quote from Henry Goodwin:

“At the time Walt wasn’t involved in politics because he was busy running one of the world’s largest companies,” said Havenstein spokesman Henry Goodwin. “However, he has always believed that government should be limited, taxes should be low and spending should be restrained.”

Go ahead and watch either the short version (Kimberly’s post) or the longer one (put up by Mike).  Watch his body language  as he moves from talking about SAIC to his self-seeming joke about the TEA Party
