From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"In an age rife with media-inspired confusion and political cowardice, we yearn for a decent, caring, deeply human soul whose grasp of the problems confronting us provides a light by which we can make our way through the quagmire of lies, distortions, pandering, and hollow self-puffery that strips the American Dream of its promise. How lucky we are, then, to have access to the wit, wisdom, and willingness of Thom Hartmann, who shares with us here that very light, grown out of his own life experience."
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Thom Hartmann is a creative thinker and committed small-d democrat. He has dealt with a wide range of topics throughout his life, and this book provides an excellent cross section. The Thom Hartmann Reader will make people both angry and motivated to act."
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Thom is a national treasure. Read him, embrace him, learn from him, and follow him as we all work for social change."
There is nothing to recover from. But the republicans will not let go of anything.
Any sane person will will realize what is being done when they are being bombparded with Bengazi, IRS, AP, and now Umbrellagate. But since the Obama haters are not sane, they do not need any logic behind the scandals.
Fortunately they are in the minority, unfortunately due to jury mandering, money and spineless democratics they are in control.
Yes YES YES !!! We are sick of DO NOTHING Congress!
There are a myriad of problems that need solving but nothing will happen unless all this bite backing stops and Congress gets down to doing the PEOPLE's work.
AGEBEL, you said it very well !
I hope that if any good can come from the IRS scandal, that the intentional revamping of the wording by the IRS in 1959 that changed the wording for a 501 C4 tax exempt status as reading that tax exemption is granted exclusively for social welfare to in 1959 reading primarily for social welfare. These two words have totally different connotations imagine telling your spouse that you were no longer going to be exclusive but that they will be your primary partner. This wording was changed under Eisenhower without the consent of Congress. The ambiguity of the wording could have caused a lot of misconceptions regarding who actually qualifies for tax exempt status. Under the old wording I don't believe any political organization would be tax exempt, because PACs are not social welfare organizations. I hope that we go back to the original wording and that no PACs will be granted tax exemption, nor donors allowed to make anonymous donations.
For right or wrong, the shellacking happened and if it’s bad for Democrats then it means Obama acted incompetently, in addition to the Republicans being filth. And frankly, given everything else, I’ve had it with both of them.
Both Democrats and Republicans are guilty of trying to overthrow our Democracy in favor of some fascist Corporate Dictatorship for the wealthy and they should all be jailed.
And furthermore, before you go blaming the Republican Filth for the failure of the Democratic Filth to get anything done, why don’t you ask yourself how come the Democratic Filths’ substantive progress for the People (relative to the wealthy and their corporations) never really changed after the shellacking. And continues to be a national disgrace to this date.
Democrats didn’t do shit for the People before the shellacking and they still aren’t doing shit for the People after the shellacking. The only difference is that after the shellacking the Democratic Filth changed their excuse for not serving the People to blame the Republican Filth. So Heritage Foundation letter? yea whatever....as if
Both Democrats and Republicans are a CANCER on the 99%.
