The Issue of "Using a Crisis"

Okay. Here's some more crap up with which I will not silently put.

Dear Dumbass Repub1icans:

I'm tired of the "pundits" (aka infotainment personalities like Mourning Joe) berating Rahm Emmanuel and people in the Obama Administration for saying something to the effect of "Don't let a crisis go to waste". Oooo. That sounds sooooo evil. It, like, sounds like the Demoncrats are WANTING a crisis so they can, like, use all the evil tools stored in their clear plastic backpacks to TAKE OVER THIS COUNTRY.

Republicans, your dumbass is showing and here's why.

Point first, the idea of using a national crisis for personal gain and select-cronie-advancement was thoroughly exhausted by the 43rd president (see 9/11, KatRita, and the carefully fabricated "credit" situation).

THAT is exactly why point second occurred: the Demoncrats DID take over the country in 2006 and 2008 (see the elections respective to the forementioned years).

And finally, point third. For any idiot that doesn't know what "don't waste a crisis" means, let me school you.

Crises are opportunities for turning points (see Erik Erikson). Crises are learning opportunities (vis a vis identifying what went right versus what went wrong with said situation). Crises give you a chance to strip away everything that doesn't work and figure out how to make a thing better (see the American Revolution).

And just so you know, I did not misspell "crisis" - I used the plural. And I've never used vis a vis in a piece of writing before. I am heady with the experience.

I remain not yours and sincerely unrepentant,
