| Lurid Moonbat Fantasy #61: the AIG bailout is a coup d'etat! |

| Larisa Alexandrovna, Huffasnuffaluffagus Post In 2000, the long fought for and long admired democracy of the United States of America began a slow and steady decline toward fascism - a Bush family tradition - with the installment of a president - a man the citizens overwhelmingly rejected (although the funny math told a still believed myth) - by a few corrupt judges on the US Supreme Court. That coup is now nearly complete and checkmate is all but unavoidable. . . . It seems this time around, the Bush family is trying the more subtle approach to open bloodshed: first create a crisis, then under the guise of addressing that crisis, overthrow democracy. Yes, it does sound terribly conspiracy-theory-esque when explained just this way. But what else does one call a criminal conspiracy to destroy Congressional powers permanently, alter Judicial powers permanently, and steal public funds? As I see it now, we have but two options and I have long alluded to hoping against hope that one of these options would not be the only one left to a peaceful people. The first and frankly most preferable option is for Congress to immediately begin impeachment proceedings against the members of this latest Business Plot. No time needs to be wasted on hearings as we already now have in writing, formally as presented to Congress, the intentions of this administration to nullify Congressional powers permanently, to alter Judicial powers permanently, and to openly steal public funds using as blackmail the total collapse of the US economy if these powers are not handed over. You do see how this is blackmail, do you not? You do see how this is a manufactured crisis precisely designed to be used as blackmail, do you not? The other option, the one I have long prayed we would never need to even consider, is a total revolution. But, If Congress won't act in its own self-defense, in the defense of democracy, in defense of us - the people who have elected them to protect us from this very danger - then what is left for us to do? I don't want to see it come down to this, but I fear that it will. "Revolution NOW, man! Off the pigs! Acid is groovy! Hendrix!!" Put your party politics aside right now. We are in a crisis so dangerous that should these people succeed in their coup, your party affiliation will no longer matter, your American flag will be a nice collectible item of something that once was, and your version of God will be worshiped in secrecy because your freedoms will be owned by the few. . . . |

| #6 Did you see the update, wherein she is shocked, shocked, that anyone could think she is calling for armed insurrection. Crazy wingnuts! |

| #4 The really sad thing is the elections happen, the coup never arrives, but four years later they are convinced it will happen this time. I guess its easier to postpone your collision with reality than reevaluate your opinion of Bush. |

| #3 Don't you just love when people publicly protest that the United States is a Fascist state? Their very actions prove themselves wrong. The same goes for people who protest - on a public board, the same thing (oh and that they are being Censored By The Man!). |

| #2 I hope Larissa has an escape plan for when the black helicopters come for her. But I'm sure she does. These people plan ahead. |
