EMERGENCY!

I recall telling one of my neighbors, who is a chemical-phobe, that she needed to make a decision about the Bermuda Grass increasingly infiltrating her vegetable garden.

It would be all or nothing. She needed to attack it or it would take over the garden and destroy it, turning it into a useless monoculture. She eventually used an herbicide. 

It's an emergency, I had to say, to try to get her to understand. It isn't going away and it will mean the end of the garden. Complacency won't cut it. Cooperation is capitulation. Compromise is concession.

Now, THIS IS OUR EMERGENCY MOMENT.

The sirens are going off. The bombs rain down. The enemy is upon us. We need Neo-con d-Con. Roundup for Republicans. Roach motels for Rubios. Agent Orange for O'Reilly. 

We need to crush Rush. I tell you, people, this is it. It is our defining time. We will be remembered for our inaction and incompetence, as it stands. Doing nothing is not acceptable, blundering inexcusable.

It is complicity. It's unpleasant, I know, to take up the fight. Nobody wants to do it but the problem is not going away and it won't fix itself. The conservative menace must be stopped.
