Maybe not hard left, but I see a revulsion against all the austerity-bringers. The 99% WILL have their American spring. WE need to spend every day this coming year working on putting Democrats (not blue dogs, yellow cowards, Leiberoids, Reagan traitors, or any other corporate subsidiaries) into a veto-proof/filibuster-proof majority in both house and senate, and in every state's governor and legislature we can. It's the only way we can steer Mr. Obama into doing what we want: he only can obey the voices that get to him and now it is Eric Cancer and the other delusional lunatics he hears because we sat out the 2010 election and left him to the shark-pool we call Washington DC.

If we make it a national campaign and persue it locally even in such antebellum "paradises" as Florida it will change the national conversation so much that even devotees of the Faux Ecochamber won't be able to believe the outrageous lies. I don't think any of us are socialist, communist, marxist, or any of the other lies they blow about us (at least not in the unamerican extremist (I'm kind of an anarchist, myself, but will obey any law YOU need me to to feel comfortable), and our visible, public, nonviolent revolution WILL prevent the lies from being believed.

I think we've seen the tip of the iceberg with the Republicans caving into the Democrats for once. I fervently hope that people will wake up in time for the 2012 elections and get rid of all or most of these radical extremists that were voted into the House in 2010. They have done nothing but impede any progress to get us out of this recession, or depression?

I couldn't have said it better myself.

From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Thom Hartmann is a literary descendent of Ben Franklin and Tom Paine. His unflinching observations and deep passion inspire us to explore contemporary culture, politics, and economics; challenge us to face the facts of the societies we are creating; and empower us to demand a better world for our children and grandchildren."
John Perkins, author of the New York Times bestselling book Confessions of an Economic Hit Man
From Screwed:
