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 Screwed:
"Hartmann speaks with the straight talking clarity and brilliance of a modern day Tom Paine as he exposes the intentional and systematic destruction of America’s middle class by an alliance of political con artists and outlines a program to restore it. This is Hartmann at his best. Essential reading for those interested in restoring the institution that made America the envy of the world."
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Thom Hartmann is a literary descendent of Ben Franklin and Tom Paine. His unflinching observations and deep passion inspire us to explore contemporary culture, politics, and economics; challenge us to face the facts of the societies we are creating; and empower us to demand a better world for our children and grandchildren."
LEGACY OF PRESIDENT MITT ROMNEY
Nov.6, 2012 Mitt Romney becomes president.
He immediately with the complicity of the congress suspends all regulation.
The initial effect is the stock market rallies wildly with the help of all the
Capital that was held back to make sure President Obama fails to secure
a second term. Brimming with the arrogance of power and lack of restraint Wall St
starts to take riskier and riskier bets that begin to fail spectacularly. Confidence in the
Market and the wider economy starts to collapse. Banks and financial institutions can't
make loans so the housing market falls into disarray. It causes food and fuel shortages and then massive protests that turn into riots and widespread violence ensues.
President Romney eager to display his nearly dictatorial power granted to him by congress in an emergency session orders a crackdown and hundreds are killed, thousands are jailed. Armed Patriot groups take to the streets egged on by overworked
Police departments and National Guard troops and an uneasy calm fills the streets.
Proud of his accomplishment President Romney and his advisors give Israel the green light to take out Iran's nuclear capability. The mission fails but causes a massive retaliatory strike by Iran and a fall scale war breaks out. Israel calls on the US for support and Tehran is leveled. The Arab world horrified by this event join forces and a regional conflict breaks out with all Arab states joining in the battle. Iran’s strategic partners China and Russia secretly attack US interests and kill an alarming number of US troops and citizens in the region. The intelligence community is able to uncover the plot against the US. In response President Romney orders China and Russia to be attacked directly, millions are killed. China, Russia, and North Korea level several American cities and kill millions. The Arab world sends wave after wave of suicide bombers rampaging through America’s streets. President Romney orders a fall scale nuclear attack on China, Russia and the Arab world. They respond in kind. President Romney is raced to his underground bunker. The bombs fall. Most of humanity is wiped off the face of the Earth.
In his bunker beneath the Earth where America once stood President Romney struttingly proclaims the White Horse Prophecy has been fulfilled.
