Thom's Blog Is On the Move

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.
Americans need to talk to their neighbors and work place associates to let them know what the republican elite are actually all about. Americans don't have the corner bar or the union hall to socialize any longer and the only sourse of information comes from places like "Fixed News".
Much as I could seriously use the $$, I absolutely could not. Even if it was really sleeping and not....ahem. I can barely stand to look at him OR hear him speak. touch? AGHHH. Gives me creepy-flesh just to think of it.
I think Republicans are scared and rightfully so. If you have spent any time with kids aged 12-22, racism, homophobia, christian fundamentalism, gun and abortion rights have not gained nearly the foothold that conservatives have counted on to comprise a large voting block by exploiting these issues. If they can't use these issues to influence people to vote against their best interests, then they will remove that right entirely.
Of course they don't want a democracy, not that the United States has been one for a long time. The only difference now is that they aren't even bothering with the trappings of such a government. Perhaps we're near a situation analogous to the terminal years of the Roman Republic, although we don't seem to have a Caesar...yet.
As in sleep in the same room or same bed or have to actually talk to him or interact in some way before the blessed sleep takes me from his proximity?
No wonder he plays so much golf, he needs to hear something swinging and balls getting in somewhere dark.
Actually to answer your question, Yes they would like decades of rigged elections so they can bring America back to the "robber baron" days.
Yes we are screwed because the republicans truly believe in the ruling class of monied people. I think we are hearing over and over that republicans don't believe in majority rule so, why are we so surprised when the set out to rig elections/ The republicans believe in the might makes right philisophy and can care less about middle class Americans.

dnarnadem,
In your dreams! What, so you can name call and race bait some more? When you and your man grow a spine and start talking to Republicans like you rag on old ladies and people who used to be your friends then maybe I'll quit. Just because I'm leaving the Hartman "Obamabat Cave" doesn't mean I'm done exposing that guy for who he really is! May you, eat genetically modified, Obama approved food the rest of your life! May you drink Obama dumped chemical dispesants from the Gulf of Mexico! May you live next door to an Obama approved nulear power plant! May his Wall Street friends drain every last dime from your bank account! May you work at Chinese labor rates in a GE factory the rest of your life! When you finally try to retire may you you discover that they've also stolen your pension and may your Medicare be gutted! And, when Obama gets his internet kill switch may Thom's show be the first one fried! You all deserve no less!
Scarborough Fair / Canticle - Simon and Garfunkel - (But it wasn't widely recognized as anti-war, because so few sober people actually heard the Canticle in the background.)
Are you going to Scarborough Fair?
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Remember me to one who lives there
She once was a true love of mine
Tell her to make me a cambric shirt
(On the side of a hill in the deep forest green)
Parsely, sage, rosemary and thyme
(Tracing a sparrow on snow-crested ground)
Without no seams nor needlework
(Blankets and bedclothes a child of the mountains)
Then she'll be a true love of mine
(Sleeps unaware of the clarion call)
Tell her to find me an acre of land
(On the side of a hill, a sprinkling of leaves)
Parsely, sage, rosemary, and thyme
(Washed is the ground with so many tears)
Between the salt water and the sea strand
(A soldier cleans and polishes a gun)
Then she'll be a true love of mine
Tell her to reap it in a sickle of leather
(War bellows, blazing in scarlet battalions)
Parsely, sage, rosemary and thyme
(Generals order their soldiers to kill)
And to gather it all in a bunch of heather
(And to fight for a cause they've long ago forgotten)
Then she'll be a true love of mine
Are you going to Scarborough Fair?
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Remember me to one who lives there
She once was a true love of mine

YELL FIRE by Michael Franti
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YQ5phcEsRw4
A revolution never comes with a warning
A revolution never sends you an omen
A revolution just arrived like the morning
Ring the alarm, we come to wake up the snoring
They tellin' you to never worry about the future
They tellin' you to never worry about the torture
They tellin you that you'll never see the horror
Spend it all today and we will bill you tomorrow
Three piece suits and bank accounts in Bahamas
Wall street crime will never send you to the slammer
Tell all the children in the arms of their mommas
The F-15 is a homicide bomber
TV commercials for a popping pill culture
Drug companies circling like a vulture
An Iraqi babies with a G.I. Joe father
Ten years from now is anyboby gonna bother
Yell Fire, yo, yo ,yo
Here we come, here we come
Fire, yo, yo, yo, yo
Revolution a comin'
Fire, yo, yo, yo, yo
Fire, yo, yo, yo, yo
Everyone addicted to the same nicotine
Everyone addicted to the same gasoline
Everyone addicted to a technicolour scream
Everybody trying to get their hands on same green
From the banks of the river to the banks of the greedy
All of the riches taken back by needy
We come from the country and we come from the city
You play us on the record, you can play us on the CD
All the shit you given us is fertilizer
The seeds that we planted you can brutalize them
Tell the corporation you can never globalize you
Like Peter Toss said Legalize It
Girls and boys hear the bass and treble
Rumble in the speakers and it make you wanna rebel
Throw your hands up, take it to another level
And you can never, ever, ever make a deal with the devil
Yell Fire, yo, yo, yo, yo
Here we come, here we come
Fire, yo, yo, yo, yo
Revolution a comin'
Fire, yo, yo, yo, yo
Fire, yo, yo, yo, yo

Black Sabbath, War Pigs
Generals gathered in their masses
Just like witches at black masses
Evil minds that plot destruction
Sorcerers of death's construction
In the fields the bodies burning
As the war machine keeps turning
Death and hatred to mankind
Poisoning their brainwashed minds
Oh lord yeah!
Politicians hide themselves away
They only started the war
Why should they go out to fight?
They leave that role to the poor
Time will tell on their power minds
Making war just for fun
Treating people just like pawns in chess
Wait 'til their judgement day comes
Yeah!
Now in darkness world stops turning
Ashes where the bodies burning
No more war pigs have the power
Hand of God has struck the hour
Day of judgement, God is calling
On their knees the war pig's crawling
Begging mercy for their sins
Satan laughing spreads his wings
Oh lord yeah!
