Obama setting us up to fail

The Spokesman-Review

Our venerable old republic is entering perilous times and it seems Congress is supporting this peril by way of their votes. As a concerned citizen I feel obligated to share some vital information with fellow freedom-loving citizens.

I am thoroughly confused by Congress’ support of legislation that creates massive indebtedness, likely inflation and accelerating unemployment. How can this possibly help the poor and underprivileged?

President Obama apparently welcomes Congress’ actions because he has adopted and is rapidly implementing the Cloward-Piven strategy, which very effectively promotes the fall of capitalism. It does this by overloading the government with massive entitlement demands (e.g., unemployment benefits), then, by design, pushing society into crisis, collapsing our economy and destroying welfare systems. This strategy will provide a very effective way of eliminating capitalism and replacing it with socialism regardless of our Constitution. (Google the words James Simpson Obama if you are not familiar with this strategy).

I wonder if members of Congress are familiar with the Cloward-Piven strategy and if they realize President Obama is implementing this process. Their re-election chances will likely be determined by the results of this new form of government.

“Change” indeed!
