Let the Streets Run With the Blood of the Republican

Courtesy of The Recovering Democrat, it looks like the kids at Kos are starting to dissemble. Scary...seriously.

It’s become more and more apparent to me over the past five years that all the activism and non-violent protesting in the world will do precisely squat. When you’re dealing with evil people who have no shame, the old rules of the game don’t and, indeed, can’t apply if you have any hope for success. Hundreds of thousands of people have marched, millions of letters have been written, tens of millions of votes cast, and hundreds of trillions of electrons expended pontificating on blogs...for nothing. Nothing has changed. Nothing will change. Not unless it comes in the form of something akin to the French Revolution.

We need terror. We need horror. We need the streets running awash in rivers of blood of these thugs and criminals and zealots. Activism didn’t prevent 60,000 deaths in Vietnam. All the activism of the Civil Rights era has gotten African Americans precisely nowhere. Segregation may not be the law of the land anymore, but it’s still the de facto state of America.

When y’all want to start throwing molotovs and sniping from windows come and talk to me. Until then, I will be content to retire, be a hermit, and laugh at everyone. Even then, I may still just feel like laughing as the world falls apart around me, but at least I’ll be willing to listen.

My mental state is collapsing and deteriorating almost daily. It’s so consistent you could practically graph it. My life is falling apart at an equally alarming rate, and yet I feel like doing nothing to salvage it. I feel like I’m standing at the bottom of one of the WTC towers, watching it come down on me, floor by floor, knowing I’ll be blown to atoms, yet unable to move.

Personally I would actually welcome what Raybin is advocating. Perhaps then we could stop pretending that the far left is a legitimate political option in this country. In the meantime, I couldn't help pulling out a couple of quotes...things that have Raybin feeling blue, like this:

Segregation may not be the law of the land anymore, but it’s still the de facto state of America.

Umm...ya. I have no idea what this rube is talking about. Not a strong supporter of freedom of association I gather. Perhaps he would be happier if we forced people to live next door to each other.

Activism didn’t prevent 60,000 deaths in Vietnam.

He's right, activism did not prevent 60,000 American deaths in Vietnam. In fact, our politically pressured early withdrawl resulted in untold deaths at the hands of the Vietnamese government and the Khmer Rouge. Millions perhaps.

I feel like I’m standing at the bottom of one of the WTC towers, watching it come down on me, floor by floor, knowing I’ll be blown to atoms, yet unable to move.

Of course, rube has absolutely no idea what it was like for people standing at the bottom of the WTC and his analogy simply demonstrates how meaningless the far left's analogies have become as a whole. That he can compare his obvious case of PEST with the feeling of someone about to be crushed under tons of rubble at the hands of religious fanatics is just...plain...stupid.

Dailykos is considered the premier left-wing blog. This is what they are producing. Any questions?
