I have tried to delay this comment. This comment brought me an internal conflict that is similar to an old fashion alley mugging. The words in my comment have preyed on my body, mind, and soul. I am revealing these words because I believe passionately in what I will say to you. I have tried to share information that would call Americans to move in the direction of God and for our repentance. We, as Americans, have chosen not to repent and so here is my comment, a dire and sad comment.
We will need to know how God deals with the world. He is intimately involved with every single activity in the world. God knows every reality that exists within His mysterious reality that every being is sustained by Him. Whether we like it or not, God is involved in every famine and harvest. Whether we think about it or not, God is part of every virtuous act and dastardly deed. Whether we like it or not, the history of the world, the story of our life, and the activity of God are intertwined together, world without end. God is involved in every peaceful mission and in every war.
America has turned her back on God; America has killed God’s children; America has followed false prophets like Reagan, Bush I, Clinton, Bush II, and Obama; and America will always remain greedy, selfish and self-centered. America is also the most evil, vile, and wicked nation on planet, Earth. What is happening in America and in our world reminds me of the story of Job.
In the Bible there is in the Old Testament, the Book of Job. Job lived about 500 or 600 years before the birth of Jesus Christ. It was also around the time that God was not pleased with His people. God has given everything to the people and they were not listening to Him. They were not willing to help one another and their lives were very sinful. God was going to destroy the earth.
For some reason God was going to give the world another chance. He was going to test the world with one person and that person was Job. Job was a man of prayer and he would also praise God. God blessed Job with wealth, land, property, and family. God slowly started to take away what He had given to Job. Job still prayed and praised God. A neighbor came by one day and he talked to Job. He said to Job that God was punishing him and Job still prayed and praised God. How could Job continue to love God? Job said to his neighbor that it was God’s will and God knows best.
God was so moved by Job’s words and loyalty that He spared the earth from destruction. Job’s behavior silenced God. God would speak only one more time. God spoke at Jesus’ baptism in the Jordan River. “This is my son in whom I am well pleased.”
From Jesus’ death to the present we keep hearing that God works in mysterious ways. With God there are no surprises. No, God does not work in mysterious ways. He has given us His son and the words of Jesus. Our problem is that we refuse to listen to God’s son and His words. God has been testing the world through the United States of Mortal Sin. God has not chosen a person; He has chosen a country. The United States of Mortal Sin is now the Job of the New Testament.
Job, the country, has failed every test. Job, the country, holds steadfastly to hatred, corruption, and lies. She has also embraced murders and war crimes. She has also turned her back on God and God’s son, Jesus. Christianity is no longer Job’s religion. Job and the country’s beauty believe that they are better than God. Like Lucifer, the most beautiful of God’s angels, Job believes that God is not needed and the axis of evil is better than God. Job’s axis of evil clings to money, nuclear weapons, and false prophets and their words.
Job, the country, will also bring down the rest of world and its population. Job has failed God and her destruction and the world’s destruction are imminent.
We must never forget that the pain and suffering upon our nation will be endless because Americans refuse to repent. Yes, it is God’s will because He knows best. God is involved in every activity and aspect of our life from our joys and to our miseries. The slaughter of the Democrats by the fascist-Nazi Party, aka the GOP, was God’s will and He knows best. The domination of the United States Supreme Court over ninety percent of Americans is God’s will and He knows best. The enslavement of ninety percent of the people by ten percent of the American rich and American corporations is God’s will and He knows best. You must never forget that GOD IS INVOLVED.
The way of killing each other must end, and using violence against violence will never work towards that end. The elimination of all war machines and their weapons is the only way in which any action anywhere will be successful. If we stop shipping our own weapons overseas, if we stop buying the weapons which we use to kill others, that action alone will reduce much of the violence, except that we have already given billions to groups which have used that money against us, thus forcing us to make and buy more weapons. Who profits from war? the arms dealers only, which should face criminal charges.
Telling us half truths to discredit someone else's viewpoint and then using that misinformation to enforce actions which cause violence and increase corruption while limiting the rights of voters under the disquise of moral and just legal means is fraud at the very least, yet no one is getting arrested for lying to the people about having a working democracy. Starting over should also include better enforcment of the will of the people against the lies of lobbyests.
Each person is connected to the Earth in ways untold to most of us, if we can see we are not seperate people but the care takers of the Earth and what lives on it, we might have a chance.
THOM!!!! I have been beating this drum since before Senator Obama was publicized as considering whether to run for President . . . His Senate voting record placed him along side of such luminaries as Joseph Lieberman and Blanche Lincoln. He has never been anything but a mediocre, wishy-washy, right-of-the-center-of-the-road, pro-corporatist and now he is yesterday's flavor of the month.
Like all good DLC pukes, President Obama is stooped over, thanking his beaters for the last blow and begging for the next.
There are differences between Republican't and Democratic presidents. Obama being just as bad as Bush is just incorrect. Don't expect any Democrat to come in and act as a champion for the people, it'll never happen. Yes Obama is too willing to compromise with the right, but fact of the matter is, the Bush administration was jettisoning jobs overseas, ramping up military efforts in Iraq and Afghanistan and began pushing for a war with Iran. I have little doubt that if McSane got in he would be pushing for spreading the conflict into that country.
Equating Obama with the extreme right wing is just ridiculous. No he's no Rosevelt or Truman, but he's not Bush either.
Ha!ha!ha!...well welcome Thom Hartman to Pablito's side....I hate to say it but I told you so,Obama was not a progressive...He is a conservative corporatist......He chose the Democratic party for membership as almost everyone knows his skin color was a barrier to the highest office in the land as a member of the GOP.
This guy ,Obama is just as horrible as Bush.
Look,quit telling your listeners that it's good to have a Democratic Prez for the sake of the Supreme Court....It makes no difference when that Prez nominates Corporatist jurists.
The new TV channel Afghan FOX is going to win them over...stare into the picture stare into the picture. Now you will feel peacful towards Americans as we trickle down on you and offer tax cuts for the wealthy, except for Democratic americans, you will still hate them. Stare into the TV.
If the current TSA continues both men and women should have a right to determine who will grope them. I am heterosexual and I feel very uncomfortable in a male groping me.
The TSA!!! Should the government TSA be abolished and the new TSA should be privatised? I do not like the word, privatization, but the current over reaching of the TSA may make privatization necessary!!! We may have to give it a chance.
Here is my comment for Thom’s blog on November 21, 2010.
I have just viewed Jess Ventura’s “Conspiracy Theory” on the assassination of Kennedy. He makes a very compelling case that the assassination was from the highest level of our government officials in the United States of Mortal Sin. Names, like Nixon, Ford, George H. W. Bush, and LBJ may have been involved in the assassination. The CIA, I believe, was most definitely involved in the killing of Kennedy. Is that one reason why Obama seems so weak and wishy washy? The American psyche is entrenched with assassinations and murders. Our federal government continuously breaks the Fifth Commandment, “Thou shall not kill.” Mortal sins will never cease in our nation. These mortal sins are proof that the United States of Mortal Sin is evil, vile, wicked, and sinful. Our nation has turned its back on God and our citizens’ endless lust in killing God’s children is well documented. Mortal sins damn the human soul. There are reasons why our federal government is well noted for being Satan’s Disciples.
With our citizens concern and interest to be safe and secure in our natural life through our killing of God’s children means we are destined for eternal damnation in our supernatural life. Our endless lust for murder and mayhem has sealed our eternal destiny.
Tonight, I was curious and found some data, not sure how reliable it is but maybe someone else will confirm or deny. I was looking up what the 1913 personal deductions were and it said that they were $3,000.00 (this did not appear to be adjusted for inflation) The tax rate in 1913 on incomes from $0 to 5000 was 1% (probably not a lot of other deductions in that day and age). In 1917 it was reduced to $1000 per person, 2,000 for Married couples, and 200. for added dependents.
Then I wondered what the current value of 3,000 was adjusted for inflation. I found a calculator that came up with a figure that to buy something for 3,000 in 1913, would cost 66,276.06 in 2010.
If I have that right, and we had increased the standard deduction for inflation, no one making less than 66,276.06 would have to pay income tax in 2010.
This means that only people making more than that would have to pay Federal income taxes. So lets adjust for inflation and reinstate the 1913 exemption!
@wiserage, Thom has on several occasions spelled out why tax cuts for the rich hurt our economy. Plus, every rich will receive a tax cut for the first $250,000 in income. The tax hikes are really a graduated hike and I believe a fair hike for the rich to pay.
@stopgap, I have said that trickle down Reaganomics is someone who is pissing on my head and saying that it is raining.
Thom, it is a great achievement to have you and the co-author selected to film the book. You need to be careful so that the film company does not re-write history with a conservative slant.
Here is my comment for Thom’s blog on November 20, 2010.
Former Governor of Minnesota, Jesse Ventura, called the Kennedy assassination a coup d’etat. Kennedy was planning to have American troops leave Viet Nam. Personally, the military-industrial complex wanted a war for profit that would benefit defense corporations. Our foreign policy is pre-emptive wars for profit and if any politician was opposing to the killing of God’s children, they would be relieved of their position one way or another. I wonder how many Americans have been assassinated by the military-industrial complex and its close relationship with our CIA. I have no doubt that the United States of Mortal Sin is the most evil, vile, wicked, and sinful nation in the history of the universe.
Personally, I could never come to believe that only one person was involved in the Kennedy assassination.
My wife is an interesting person. She is more of a listener than a talker. She is astute in her assessments and she has global vision. She does not rant or rave like I do. She heard Jesse Ventura on the radio talking about the Kennedy assassination and said it was a coup d’etat. In her mild manner voice she said to me, “How many Americans have been assassinated or murdered by our government?” We, in America, have this undying belief that our country is a good, holy, and saintly nation. But, really we are not a saintly nation. I feel sad in saying it but we are totally evil.
TAX CUTS FOR THE WEATHLY IS A RIGHT?
Thom please explain on one of your shows, in a simple and succinct way, how the Bush tax cut welfare program for the top 2% is not a right. I keep hearing from the Republicans that, “Taxing the rich is taking away their money and the government does not have right to do that”. I would like to have a quick response to this for when at millions of Thanksgiving tables on November 25th the left, the right in families come together to be thankful and conversation drifts to more lively conversation.
Wake Up America! Trickle Down Economics is nothing more than millionaires convincing people that every time they piss on them, it's the Fountain Of Youth.
Jim Clyburn on the air with Ed Schultz just explained that the first $250,000 of everybody is exempt -- so if you make $300,000 -- your first $250,000 is exempt (gets the renewed lower tax rate). The next $50,000 is subject to the restored 3% higher tax rate. So, making a middle class tax cut permanent will, in fact, lower the tax rate for everyone.... Ed asked if this has always been what was being proposed and Jim said yes. Asked why the Dems were not explaining it that it that way, Jim (who spoke brilliantly) said, "I don't know." .... Thom will you hold an emergency messaging class at the White House??!!!! PLEASE.
