Chicken Little is right

i remember thinking back in 2003 that we had been victims of a quiet coup d'etat but hesitating to say it out of fear of being seen as wearing a tin-foil hat... every day that's passed since, i'm more convinced and i don't know what the hell to do... the disease has progressed to the point that drastic measures are called for and what those might be, i don't have a clue... this post by neocons will ban me at daily kos cites henry kissinger from back in his graduate student days to make a profoundly disturbing case...

While many at DailyKos and elsewhere these days are frantically sounding shrill klaxons that America is in mortal jeopardy, Democrats in Washington sanguinely go about business as usual. They apparently "find it nearly impossible" to acknowledge what the country is now facing: a revolutionary power that means to smash "the existing framework" (the rule of law based upon our Constitution and Bill of Rights) and replace it with something else entirely (a paranoid, messianic Christo-fascist oligarchy).

This disconnect is maddening, and is I believe what is leading so many here to threaten to leave the party in frustration. Many feel the rule of law is quite clearly collapsing in this country, and realize the vacuum such a collapse would create will be eagerly filled by the most brutal and totalitarian elements of the Republican right.

We need to come together and forge a consensus that America is facing a national emergency. It is long past time the Democrats in Washington awoke to this reality, accepted it as the new "facts on the ground", and started acting in all haste to confront and resoundingly defeat a revolutionary power that threatens us all.

standing by while my country is going down the drain is not something i am willing to do but, other than pouring out my frustrations on the internet, what are my choices...?
