The Duns of August


From "Dissent if Cool":

"They were now on the brink of nuclear war and the President [Kennedy] was concerned about the situation getting out of his control and spiraling into disaster. He recalled a part in the book The Guns of August when a German Chancellor was asked how it all began. He replied, “Ah, if we only knew.”

Of course, in the global-disaster presently at hand we know precisely who to blame. No, not Boehner and not Cantor and not McConnell; they're just the symptoms. No the real fault lies with the same shit-for-brains who are weeping into their "Give Me Liberty" throw-pillows tonight because Glenn Beck is no longer a Fox News employee.

I wasn't of much of a mind to forgive these scumbags after eight years of hunting Clinton, eight years of cheering Bush and two years of pretending the preceding 16 years had never happened whil sabotaging every effort to clean up the mess their catastrophic ideology has left in its wake. But if they crash the economy of purpose because, well, fuck you, that's why, it's time to go after them.

Hard.

Operation Rescue-hard.

Where they live.

Where they work.

Where they worship.

If you voted Republican, I think every one of your neighbors should know about it.

Loudly.

I think you should be reminded of the havoc you have wrought with graphic pictures in your face every time you stick you head outside your door.

24/7/365.

It is time long past time to stop turning the other cheek, and since this is clearly all that they are capable of understanding, I guess it's time to inherit a little of the whirlwind motherfuckers!

But let us also not forget the way the political and media establishments, not to mention not-necessarily-movement-conservative but still way-too-easily-brainwashed Middle America, have enabled this interminable, relentless Long March to Right. Without the consistent complicity of these fellow travellers, we wouldn't be anywhere close to the point where the Long March is about to go over the edge of the cliff.

I'd also like to give a good, swift kick in the ass to all the liberals who didn't vote in the last election. They stayed home in a snit because they were pissed off at Obama and Democrats, for cause I might add. Hell, I was royally pissed off myself, but guess what, the Teabaggers didn't stay home and neither did the Republicans and we see how well that worked out now don't we.

But I totally agree that it's way past time to take it right to all of those brain-dead Beck heads and the sociopaths they elected. We need to get our Greece on and how!

Couldn't agree more. It's not even about something like health care that can be spun as a 'philosophical difference'. Why should repugs get to extort anything in exchange for not ruining the global economy? Either you're for ruining it or you're not. Are you fuckers willing to ruin it? Then it's time everyone knows exactly who you are.
