From Screwed:
"The powers that be are running roughshod over the powers that OUGHT to be. Hartmann tells us what went wrong — and what you and I can do to help set American right again."
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 Unequal Protection, 2nd Edition:
"Beneath the success and rise of American enterprise is an untold history that is antithetical to every value Americans hold dear. This is a seminal work, a godsend really, a clear message to every citizen about the need to reform our country, laws, and companies."
The two men who said 1) President Obama's words were too big and 2) leave my kid alone reflect a new norm in America that is appalling. As a 5 year old I listened to Bobby Kennedy, Martin Luther King, Jr., and many great politicians and people from around the world. I found great comfort in knowing there were intelligent people running our country. It also gave me a small push inside to understand what they were talking about.
I would invite both these men to stop being intimidated by use of the intellect and participate in government on something other than a base level.
