http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=389&topic_id=8399670It's from something that ran in Firedoglake. I know that site has engendered a lot of dislike around here lately, and I'm not completely certain as to why. But reading through this seemed to make perfect sense! Full disclosure: I remain a militant Al Gore supporter so that tends to leaven things a little in my thinking.
I think we have to get louder and louder and more and more unrelenting. We have to start outshouting the teabaggers. So let's be completely and unapologetically rahm emmanuel/kkkarl rove crass then. Because I can be as Machiavellian as the next guy. A crisis should not be left unexploited. It worked for bush/cheney's precious war in iraq. Why can't we make that work for us? This is FAR more urgent on a PLANETARY scale!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'd like to use the bad guy's tricks and make them work for GOOD. This is a crisis! We desperately need to stop it - YESTERDAY!!!!! Not for the benefit of any frickin' political party or corporate profit. For the survival of OUR PLANET!!!! We should get big and loud and swollen and unrelenting. We need to stand on the shoulders of this crisis and scream our lungs out! Because this crisis is something that makes anyone against it look like shit. As they should!!! Their greed and selfishness and cheapskate short-sightedness may well be aiding and abetting an extinction event. There is no coming back from extinction. There is no bailout from extinction. No tax cut or rebate from extinction. And certainly no electoral victory either. You get a second chance in maybe a few billion years of evolution if you haven't killed everything.
