It's still too late

Global warming is here and it's too late to stop it. It's too late to do anything about the failure of the world economy due to the exhausted oil supply. The good news is that will mean the oligarchs, imperialists and theocons will have a shallow victory when they complete their takeover of the United States.

I posted a link to a piece from the Washington Post by Jim VandeHei, GOP Tilting Balance Of Power to the Right, yesterday without comment because I was short on time. Over at The Left Coaster pessimist looks at it this morning and his reaction is the same as mine, Well, DUH!!

Has it really gotten to be so bad that even the Washington Post has finally taken note and dared to publish this 'revelation' as if it were news to the rest of us? Maybe it has:

Bush has tightened the reins on Cabinet members, centralizing the most important decisions among a tight group of West Wing loyalists. Now, the White House and Congress are setting their sights on how to make the judiciary more deferential to the conservative cause...

One has to ask author Jim VandeHei and the entire WaPo editorial staff: Where the hell have you been for the last 25 years???? Have you been backing into the future by only seeing where we have been, and only now has our recent past come into your focus?

One has to wonder why WaPo are removing the Bu$hCo blinders now, after all these years, after all the scandals, after all the calls from people outside the Beltway. What is it that has finally broken the spell that kept WaPo in thrall to King George and the BFEE/PNAC Petroleum Pirate Po$$e Court Je$ter$? Could it be that the WaPo owners have decided that King George broke his promise of huge profits to them and the other members of the Topper class? Have they decided that King George is no Kriegsfuehrer since he can't even see to it that the world's most expensive military has control of a third-rate nation like Iraq?

We have George W. Bush in the White House who has not won an election. The Republicans have the infrastructure in place to fix enough elections to win the electoral college vote. If you think Jazz's post below is scary, how about President Jeb Bush. It may happen. Also at The Left Coaster, Mary has a post on the agenda of the American Taliban.

So, while we cheer that the nuclear option was avoided, the confirmation of Priscilla Owen to the appellate court is another victory for the Religious Right as they work to take over the government and impose the equivalent of Shariah law from the Old Testament. These people have been working assiduously for the past 20 years to take over the federal government. All the battles we are engaged in today are to stand against their coup. What will it take to get the "moderate middle" educated about this very real threat?

It appears that the Washington Post waited to tells us about the coup until after it was too late to do anything about it. Thanks for nothing.
