Barney Frank Frankly Not Frank
The Boston Globe, normally a reliable liberal paper, says that Massachusetts Congressman Barney Frank (D - Corruption) has a lot to do with the mortgage crisis. It opens with a quote from Cong. Frank 'The private sector got us into this mess. The government has to get us out of it."I go into more detail on all the components of the problem at ACORN Is Not About Nuts and at The Best Congress Fannie Could Buy. However, I just came across an American Thinker article which asks the question: are the people behind this stupid? Or was it a plan? Despite the mass media news blackout, a series of books, talk radio and the blogosphere have managed to expose Barack Obama's connections to his radical mentors -- Weather Underground bombers William Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn, Communist Party member Frank Marshall Davis and others. David Horowitz and his Discover the Networks.org have also contributed a wealth of information and have noted Obama's radical connections since the beginning.So this is a long time coming. The American Thinker article points out that the strategy behind it has a name. The Cloward-Piven Strategy of Orchestrated Crisis. Lenin also had a name for it: Worse Is Better. I think a deeper look into what the American thinker has to say is in order: Before the 1994 Republican takeover, Democrats had sixty years of virtually unbroken power in Congress - with substantial majorities most of the time. Can a group of smart people, studying issue after issue for years on end, with virtually unlimited resources at their command, not come up with a single policy that works? Why are they chronically incapable?You know that sounds a lot like the Alinsky Method - Rules For Radicals. The American Thinker article goes much deeper into Cloward-Piven with lots of links and how the players are connected (see the connection chart - it is a beaut). May I suggest that a thorough reading is in order? H/T commenter Dan at Classical Values for the Boston Globe bit. Cross Posted at Power and Control posted by Simon on 09.29.08 at 06:33 AM |

Whoa. I am having serious Ayn Rand flashbacks now.
Happily, the 20% of any profit on any deal that was to go to ACORN and others of its kind has been removed from the final legislation. Let's hope that's a harbinger of a more reasoned apporach.
