Occupying Wall Street Isn't The Answer

"Frances Fox Piven, of Cloward-Piven fame, has waited four decades for a far-left savior to finish off the job of destroying the U.S. economy and getting a majority of Americans dependent on the government for their survival.

Piven and her late husband, Richard Cloward, wrote an infamous article in 1966 titled "The Weight of the Poor: A Strategy to End Poverty."  In it they advocated pushing ever more people into social-welfare programs, which they believed would collapse the system and force reforms that would lead to a guaranteed annual income.  This ugly little slice of Marxist cunning is commonly referred to as the "Cloward-Piven strategy."

In an interview at one of the Occupy Wall Street protests in New York, Piven said, "I teach at the Graduate School of the City University of New York.  I am here because I am so enthusiastic about the possibilities of this sit-in, over the marches that are occurring over postal-worker issues, the sister demonstrations that are starting in Chicago and Los Angeles, and maybe in Boston.  I think we desperately need a popular uprising in the United States."

As you would expect, high-profile radicals - led by the Radical-in-Chief Barack Obama - are now crawling out of the woodwork and cheerleading the rabble-rousers.

The dreams-from-my-father moment appears to be nearing as riots, sit-ins, and protests grow throughout the country.  "Social-justice" miscreants - a whole new generation of sixties hippies - have escaped their cages and are running wild in New York, Los Angeles, Denver, Chicago, and other U.S. cities.  And, make no mistake about it, they're looking for red meat.

We do need a popular uprising in the America.   The Tea Party is already addressing that need.  The Tea Party has to become more aggressive in pushing back against big government.
