I have heard as I have listened to the Thom Hartmann Show that he does a good job of educating us. I agree with those comments.
There is one area that I cannot shake. It has to do with Thom's optimism. He continues to see light at the end of the tunnel regarding America's future. Personally, I do not see such a light.
I truly believe that we are finished nation. We are now a banana republic. America will never lose a nuclear war because America has an accepted pre-emptive strike doctrine that means we will strike first any nation who tries to challenge us or who wants to improve their country's people for a better living.
America is out to enslave the world population and the ninety percent Americans who still believe that we are a good, holy, and saintly nation. And, that we are a Christian nation.
People, America is the most evil nation that has come to being in the history of the universe. Our evil is unparalled in history.
Along with being a banana republic we are now wallowing in the abyss of hell.
As a side note, any House or Senate member who is in office and is a licensed physician and opposes health care for all Americans has broken his or her vow of "do no harm." They are not complicit in the murder of God's children; they are actual murderers.

The three articles that I am sharing with you are not long but they are packed with information.
Please avoid what I did as I read these articles! I cried like a baby.

I am new to this community, so I hope the placement of my message is appropriate.
I would very much like to hear the National Initiative for Democracy (NI4D) discussed on the program. And a discussion with former Senator Mike Gravel would also be appreciated. He is the founder of NI4D.
I very strongly believe that the National Initiative is our only way out of this mountain of political corruption we have found ourselves in. It has campaign finance reform built in. Therefore, we can make that happen now! NI4D just needs the votes and the support to spread the word and educate voters. I posted a message in the forum also. Let's empower voters rather than corporations!

Hillary is saying that Iran is a military dictatorship. Hillary shut up. And, do you think America is with her 750 military bases around the world wnd her eye on 1,000 military bases. Hillary, why don't you speak out against our policies and practices of mass murders and war crimes? America cannot always be right because we are an evil country.
@Donald, I do not know much about N14D so I cannot comment. I would need more information on Mike Gavel.
The repugs do wonders with words. For example, Reagan would say trickle down economics. Trickle was a buzz word for peeing on average American heads and telling us that it is raining.

And, WHAT do you think America is with her 750 military bases around the world AND her eye on 1,000 military bases.

Thank God that most people don't adopt Gerald's example. Being "Chicken Little", running around screaming that the sky is falling will insure defeat by the very sources who he despises. Take your Prozac Gerald. Patriots don't lament, they organize and suit up.

Well, that's all pretty heavy stuff. Here's a music video about the Declaration of Independence to entertain you: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uZfRaWAtBVg

Insurance and a Ponzi Scheme are the same thing, the only difference is intent. Both collect money from a large pool of people. Both pay out to a small group in that pool. Both skim off the top in order to run. At what point does the collection of money, and the amount skimmed off the top turn legitimate insurance in to a Ponzi Scheme?

In case you haven't seen this, I thought I'd bring it to your attention. The whole thing makes me sick.

Thom's Blog Is On the Move
By webmaster
Hello All
Thom's blog in this space and moving to a new home.
Please follow us across to hartmannreport.com - this will be the only place going forward to read Thom's blog posts and articles.

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."
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 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."
I have decided that corporations and companies are now called -CORPOPERSONS.
I looked up and spotted a robin, he looked down and spotted me. Me no worry, me no cry, me glad that elephants don't fly. I take that back because GOP elephants do fly and they crap on our heads.
