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:
"Thom is a national treasure. Read him, embrace him, learn from him, and follow him as we all work for social change."
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."
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."
We left-wingers understand that terrorism is a type of attack. It is not defined by the motivation.
Terrorist acts are committed for a legitimate reason or an illegitimate reason. But right-wingers think the motivation is part of the definition. So what left-wingers label as terrorist attacks, such as the mass murder by Anders Brevik (because it's a mass attack on innocents intended to intimidate a demographic), right-wingers don't, because they consider the motivation legitimate (Christian supremacy in this case). Pundits like those on Fox News will never label white, non-Muslim terrorists as terrorists, because they agree with the motivation. This makes them terrorist sympathizers.
