As with global warming, it's TOO LATE to stop the neo cons.

[Philosoraptor]

I've read this morning that world scientists agree, global warming is real, man made, and it's really too late to stop it.

The same can be said for hogwash and his ape, it's really far too late at this point to stop what they have planned for us all. If we started impeachment proceedings TODAY, it'd take two years to remove the maniacs, and of course by that time, the damage will have already been done, in fact, it already has.

It's more or less irreversible at this point. The neo cons are kicking into phase two of their original plan, all we can do is sit back and watch the show. After all, we bought our tickets years ago.

Won't someone please stop these maniacs? Sorry, it's too late now.

1. It's never to late, it will just take longer to clean the mess up.

Nice thing about good old mother earth, she has a history of defending herself from the parasites that live on her back by making them extinct. I'm sure she has another species already waiting to take over when man has destroyed enough of her beauty and pillaged enough of her resources. Say hello to your new leader the cockroach.

2. Optimism is rare around these parts.

I've lost all of mine.

3. Yeah I know how you feel, I am dealing with a idiot that says gobal warming is a fluke of

nature and its happening because people are to lazy to work, vote democratic and allow abortions, so god is screwing with the weather until people change their ways. LOL

4. When all else fails blame God.

These people wouldn't know personal responsibility if it slapped them in the face.

5. God almighty is punishing us for not smiting the liberals.

And when the great asteroid of god hits, there will be a great cleansing, and only the righteous will survive.

6. it's not too late until the last human is dead.

If we can somehow get a "free press" that actually educates the public then we have a small chance.

You have to remember the neocons are in bed with people all over the world who likewise are hell bent on destroying everything and everything.

7. Look! A brute is raping lady Liberty! Won't someone please DO SOMETHING?

Nah, let's all just stand around and watch.

8. Congress could stop this merry-go-round of insanity

by the end of today if THEY HAD THE WILL. Which is what makes me SO ANGRY. Enough of our congressional reps are preening and posturing that the ones who may actually want to stop this crap are unable to get any attention. Every rep has to introduce their own bill so they get some kind credit. Ther are way too many "intelligence" related comittees, because so many have fragile egos, or whatever the problem is. So, I don't think it's too late. I just think not enough people care. When it really is too late and the bombs are falling, then there will be the public outcry that will get congress atttention.

9. they could stop it in a heartbeat

Agreed - congress could pull the plug by actually fighting. How about actually releasing pictures / footage of what is REALLY happening in the war? How about someone like Pelosi or Edwards or any of the other peacocks taking it to the streets on a MASSIVE scale? How about indictments for all the god damn CRIMES that have been ADMITTED to by the GOP neocons?

But wait - some of this IS happening. But until it is covered, blared 24/7 by the fucking worthless media. It doesnt exist to joesixpack. One of the biggest problems is the marriage of the news (aka public preception) with $$$ corporations. With 80%+ of the population unable to think for themselves, we are captive to whatever big $$$ tells us to believe.

11. Don't give up hope....

We all have our dark days, I often do too, but then something comes along to shed more light on the criminals and their evil deeds. Right now, I can't help feeling it won't be long now before they are Impeached-there has to be a tipping point what with all the sh*t that's piling up, especially lately. Maybe that's overly optimistic of me, I don't know, but in the meantime I've got fingers and toes crossed!

12. Nonsense! That's NeoCon propaganda--that they can't be stopped!

And global warming being "unstoppable" is the word of scientists, who don't think like engineers.

Remember how the Apollo 13 engineers got the crew home safely? (And do you remember what the problem was?)

And keep your peckers up, kids!

Don't let the human enterprise end in an orgy of self-pity and whining. If it ends, it ends, you know? Meanwhile, do your best to inform, energize and re-empower yourself and your brother and sister human beings! What are we made of--jelly? Show some spine! And what do we have brains for, except to figure this one out! And either we do or we don't. OPs like this make it more likely that we won't. De-moralizing people, at such a critical time--with American democracy, and the fate of the planet, in the balance. Tut-tut. If that's all you can post--hopelessness--then DON'T POST. Go do something USEFUL--to un-depress yourself, and others.

When you succumb to this kind of depression, you are giving in to the bastards who have brainwashed you into feelings of helplessness and powerlessness. They've got you exactly where they want you. What do you think the war profiteering corporate news monopolies are all about? They are all about making people with progressive views feel like a minority, and about making you ignore--forget, fail to perceive--the potentially tremendous collective power that we have. Fight back! Don't yield to it. You think the people of the greatest progressive movements in history--the initial American democracy movement, the anti-robber baron movement, the labor movement, the civil rights movement, the anti-apartheid movement, the anti-Vietnam war movement, up to and including the current democracy movement in South America--didn't have their moments of vile despair--their tragedies, their catastrophes, their set-backs, and their long, dark, depressing days, and months, and years, and decades? Nelson Mandela spent 30 years in prison--to emerge and become the first black president of South Africa! Black Americans fought segregation and the Ku Klux Klan for a hundred years before they won full citizenship. Have some perspective!

The problems that the Bush Junta has created for us--and that several decades of fascism and corporate rule have created--are not going to be solved in a day. We may well have to suffer more war, and more set-backs, before they ARE solved. But they never will be solved if people take the attitude that they can't be. So, reverse that self-defeating attitude. Take a look at how much change IS happening--a sea change on the environment, an increase from 56% opposed to Bush's heinous war (Feb. '03) to 70% today, and an increase in Congress members voting against unjust war from TWO Congress members in 1964, to ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY-SIX Congress members in 2002. And now it's a majority in Congress--not fully representative of the American people, but greatly improved. Maybe they can't impeach Bush. Maybe they can't stop the war. But if you give up on them, they never will--and that is a certainty. If it weren't for us--the People, and our pressure upon them--there would be no hope that they might. As for global warming, we can turn that around in five years--that's my prediction, based our technical genius as a people, and our characteristic desire to help--as soon as we get this democracy in working order again. And in fact the Bush Junta has spurred us on, in many ways. It has created a crisis in our democracy on all fronts, but also it has created consciousness about just how bad our Corporate Rulers are. And our reaction to the Bush Junta is going to motivate us to create more comprehensive solutions--both to the problems in our democracy and the problem of global warming.

Peckers up, I say! Onward!
