Is is too late to stop the coup d'etat?

sometimes, it's really very depressing to run across someone who shares your views...

But I fear it's too late to stop George W. Bush and his band of right-wing revolutionaries. We have let them get too far along now to stop them. We have let them neutralize too many constitutional checks and balances. And once they deep-six the filibuster it truly will be game over.

Yes, the Democrats have begun to fight, but too little and now too late. The only recourse soon will be public demonstrations of the kind and size not seen here since the 1970s.

The only question is, are there still enough of us out here who give a damn.

if people really, REALLY understood what was happening in this country, they would give a damn but the strategy of keeping everyone so busy working for peanuts and watching runaway brides and american idols seems to be providing all the necessary distraction...
