They guy who founded ACORN (and the SEIU) and ran it for years is Wade Rathke.

Rathke is a pioneer of the so-called welfare rights movement that aims to get Americans on welfare. He devotes an entire chapter of his book to what he calls "The 'Maximum Eligible Participation' Solution." It is a strategy for orchestrated crisis that savvy leftist groups across America are likely to embrace.

The Maximum Eligible Participation Solution is just the old Cloward-Piven Strategy in new clothes. The strategy aimed at radical social and political change was articulated by Marxist university professors Richard A. Cloward and Frances Fox Piven in a 1966 Nation article, "The Weight of the Poor: A Strategy to End Poverty." The two academics called for "a massive drive to recruit the poor onto the welfare rolls" in an effort to overwhelm the system.

"Cloward-Piven Strategy" seeks to hasten the fall of capitalism by overloading the government

So, is Obama trying to overload the system?

That you know all about, but never read?

Facts are facts.

that you haven't read that book or Obama's books, isn't it?

Write your own book reports.

Disprove the facts as presented. You're beginning down an ad hominem path.

Your top post presumes knowledge of a particular person's idealogy. You either know what you are posting about directly from the primary source himself, or through someone else's explanation.

Which is it? It's a simple, reasonable question.

Just answer his question BigLR. If you have read the book, you are putting the onus on him to disprove what you are saying. If you haven't read the sources from which you are citing, then you are just parroting info.

Speaking of...Isn't writing on the subject of your own ideology the most logical way to share your ideology so the reader can draw conclusions on your ideological views? I'ts good enough for most...

Nobody ever commissioned a statue of a critic.

"Just answer his question BigLR. If you have read the book, you are putting the onus on him to disprove what you are saying. If you haven't read the sources from which you are citing, then you are just parroting info."

I am beginning to think he is just a paid shill, parroting right wing talking points with no understanding or knowledge, pathetic, really.

Who's a pretty bird? Aww...come on...Who's a pretty bird?

If Colin Powell had been the first black president, I believe none of these connections could have been made.

And that makes a point. This isn't about race it is about ideology and associations. Obama is reaping what he sowed. It is what is making his presidency difficult (among other things) for him. It is why he is not receiving the benefit of the doubt.

When I first learned about his liberation theology a third of the way through the primaries I knew he was the wrong first black president to have.

Even more so...If a bunch of white congress members are voted out next year, do you think the same "race" argument will hold up? Yeah, me neither. They didn't think of that one, did they?

I did not get your post at all. Want to try again?

Me?
