That cartoon figure celebrating our imminent demise could just as well be labeled "the left", seems to me....
I am sooo tired, bored, and fed up with the incessant drum-beat of passive-aggressive hand-wringing angst, whining and sobbing / screaming, hostile, furious, snarling hyperbole...from so many supposed "progressive" and "left" agitators here (in hysterical concert with Chamber of Commerce sock puppets, Libertarians, Greens, et al) ruthlessly castigating Obama and "teh Dems" for not being the most absolutely ideal totally perfect and supremely effective "Majority" imaginable.
Get over it! We do NOT have a progressive majority...YET.
The right still retains sufficient plurality, JUST BARELY, in the House and Senate to block, delay and sabotage anything that comes before them.
What is it about that, that some people here just don't seem to get?
It's a mad scramble, to round up JUST A FEW VOTES, or even just ONE VOTE, on any given matter of substance.
The power is hanging by a thread...anyone with a brain can see that.
Just a few more progressives, and a few less Blue Dogs and Republicans will tip the balance of power very substantially in our favor, such that we can suddenly really begin to surge forward into the 21st Century, for justice and peace, to save the planet.
All of the many urgent crisis conditions deliberately contrived by the traitorous right, to make our situation seem so absolutely dire and impossible...which the right, just like some elements of the left, it seems, seeks to shift the blame for entirely onto "teh Dems" and Obama...all of this can and will be resolved.
But there is only one way to do it, and that's with an historic, unprecedented interim election turnout in November, and again in 2012, which is not only the last thing the right wants to see, but also seems to be the last thing that some elements of the most dogmatic rhetorical faux "left" want, as well.
Conditions in this country have never been so promising, politically, for generations.
We have done our work well, over these many years of grassroots community organizing, alternative media and positive examples, all over the country.
Now it's all coming to a head, and the final struggle is at hand.
Go figure...no wonder the right is calling for civil war, political assassination, and mass murder. They know they are dead meat, politically, and they are totally freaking out, slashing and burning, thrashing about in vicious, recalcitrant, psychopathic spite, just like a freakin' dinosaur in it's last death throes of extinction.
We have won the revolution, and all that remains is the mop up, to finish off the traitorous 5th column of counter-revolutionary anti-democratic opposition.
Grab a freakin' mop, fools, or get the hell out of the way!
This is a time to celebrate, and to rally our forces, to mobilize the electorate for the final coup de grace, to finish the job, to resolutely purge and suppress what remains of the Blue Dogs and Republicans from all levers of power, to the greatest extent possible, in November, and again in 2012.
THEN, and only then, we can finally really get down to work, on the many urgent issues that we face.
ENOUGH of that jive bullshit about "we CAN'T mobilize the electorate UNLESS "teh Dems" and Obama do more, better, faster".
That's an impossible conundrum, under the present circumstances...and a totally contrived meme that only serves to sow confusion and despair.
YES WE CAN, fools, and we will, with or without you.
The "conventional wisdom" of monopoly corporate fascist commercial mass media, that the American people are sooo pissed off at Obama and "teh Dems", for being sooo absolutely non-viable, is a totally contrived LIE, to sow cynical defeatism and demoralization, to suppress likely Democratic voter turnout.
Quit playing into those false memes!
The American people are not stupid. We know what time it is, and we know who's really responsible for this mess...we REJECTED the all-channel 24/7 propaganda blitz in '08, and we'll do it again going forward, to crush the right, and stomp them into oblivion.
The right are the ones who are sooo absolutely non-viable and "politically incorrect", and they are going DOWN.
We can, and must mobilize the electorate around the cold hard simple reality that Obama and the Democratic Party are being BLOCKED AND SABOTAGED by the right at every turn, on every issue, and that the right must therefore be purged, and suppressed, for us to see more meaningful progress.
Get on the bus, or get kicked to the curb. We're on a roll, and nothing is going to stop us.
We are NOT going back.
Seize the Time!
Seize the Power!
Bring the Better Democrats!
All Out for 2010 and 2012!
Death to Fascism!
All Power to the People!
