From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Right through the worst of the Bush years and into the present, Thom Hartmann has been one of the very few voices constantly willing to tell the truth. Rank him up there with Jon Stewart, Bill Moyers, and Paul Krugman for having the sheer persistent courage of his convictions."
From Screwed:
"I think many of us recognize that for all but the wealthiest, life in America is getting increasingly hard. Screwed explores why, showing how this is no accidental process, but rather the product of conscious political choices, choices we can change with enough courage and commitment. Like all of Thom’s great work, it helps show us the way forward."
From Cracking the Code:
"In Cracking the Code, Thom Hartmann, America’s most popular, informed, and articulate progressive talk show host and political analyst, tells us what makes humans vulnerable to unscrupulous propagandists and what we can do about it. It is essential reading for all Americans who are fed up with right-wing extremists manipulating our minds and politics to promote agendas contrary to our core values and interests."
Certainly if Bernie is elected, he is the closest to FDR's image than anyone running. I am old enough to remember FDR and Truman, too. Both were men who couldn't give a hang as to what people thought. The true jewel in FDR's administration was Eleanor Perkins. She doesn't get enough praise for her contributions to the New Deal and a chicken in every pot all of which were due to her brainstorms and managerial skills at implementing. We need to get rid of Andrew Jackson on our money and select Eleanor Perkins for that spot. Jackson was responsible for the attempted extermination of our native Americans....get rid of him.
FDR saved us in 1932. For almost fifty years we prospered. Then along come Ray-gun to turn the clock back. Since then we have been sliding into the garbage disposal. The only good Repug is a dead Repug.
