Mueller's favorite place to pray (written about in "Prophet's Way"), and the roof of the room where the Last Supper is reputed to have happened.
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"With the ever-growing influence of corporate CEOs and their right-wing allies in all aspects of American life, Hartmann’s work is more relevant than ever. Throughout his career, Hartmann has spoken compellingly about the value of people-centered democracy and the challenges that millions of ordinary Americans face today as a result of a dogma dedicated to putting profit above all else. This collection is a rousing call for Americans to work together and put people first again."
—Richard Trumka, President, AFL-CIO
From Unequal Protection, 2nd Edition:
"If you wonder why and when giant corporations got the power to reign supreme over us, here’s the story."
—Jim Hightower, national radio commentator and author of Swim Against the Current
From Screwed:
"Once again, Thom Hartmann hits the bull’s eye with a much needed exposé of the so-called ‘free market.’ Anyone concerned about the future of our nation needs to read Screwed now."
—Michael Toms, Founding President, New Dimensions World Broadcasting Network and author of A Time For Choices: Deep Dialogues for Deep Democracy

This is the same BS they used to defeat the ERA back in the 1970's. Guess cons hate to lose a scare tactic.
This is a huge mistake for the left. Eighty years ago Margaret Mead demonstrated that, cross-culturally, personality traits are not linked to sex (gender). Sure, poor Bradley Manning was taught by the Army that "real men" are bloodthirsty serial killers. But that is pure bull. Gandhi, Russell, MLK and the Berrigan Brothers are/were all "real men". Transsexuals mutilate their bodies and give up any chance for orgasms to conform with the sexual "norms" of a very sick society.

Both right answers actually,those are the only things they can win with, and fear mongering.
