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.
Thom, thank you for having Joe Madison on today. I wasn't familiar with him or his show but enjoyed his input.
Mr. Madison, you just got yourself a new listener. Thank you for the work you do!
Hmmm ... if a marketing bargain is the same as sexual arousal, is it adultery?
I don't mean to be contrary, but more power to Populist Right if they are taking our 'leaders' in the beltway out of their comfort zone. The populist left may be a force which is supported by media coverage but the real proof of left discontent will be at the polls. Your first speaker had it right when he said Americans are angry and whoever takes to streets, kudos to them. (not my vote, tho) During the 30s when WWI vets camped out at the White House to push reimbursement of Army benefits owed them -- how many people thought that was lame?? I'm ready as a leftie populist to take to the streets AGAIN -- I don't care if NBC or Fox carries it. Our elected officials need to feel the pressure.
A response to republican lies about small business.
Corporate shills like Ms. Lucas yap "Lots of small businesses make over $250,000 and they will be hurt by this tax!" What they leave out is that the tax is not on small business gross income, but on taxable income taken OUT of the business for personal profit. All the small businessman needs to do is plow the profits over $250,000 back into their business and use it to grow their business. In that case, their PERSONAL TAXABLE INCOME will not be hit with the new tax, no matter how much the business "makes."
Don't let them pull these linguistic tricks on you.
Re: Tea Party Candidate says masturbation is the same as adultery.
Refresh my memory; Isn't that what Jesus is attributed as saying in the New Testament?
O’Donnell doesn’t even understand the profanity she is peddling . . . Adultery is NOT about the sin of sex (there is no sin of sex) and by biblical definition is a property crime. A dude diddling another man’s wife is denying the husband of his right to be doing the nasty naked with the gal he accepted dowry for. The wife and the other man are stealing from the husband (and yes gals, this is sexist as any married or unmarried dude diddling an unmarried woman is just the dude trying out his next potential wife AND American law blurs the gender issues . . . ).
Most folk base their spurious reasoning for inflicting their personal distaste touching their own body parts on other folk through faulty interpretations of either the divine commandment for folk to “go forth and multiply” or the Tamar storyline. “Going forth” is “going forth” and does not preclude a little recreational monkey spanking. The sin god killed Onan for was “spilling his seed upon the ground.” This does mean that god killed Onan because he whacking willy and wasting sperm . . . This was about Onan intentionally withholding his sperm to subvert Tamar’s right to have a child and deny Tamar’s right to family membership by violating levirate marriage prescriptions. God is about enjoying life and having a party in one’s own pants is enjoying life.
Additionally, carrying god’s name before one’s self when entering into earthly (vain) pursuits is actually blasphemy (by definition) and it spelled out twice in the bible, please see Shemot (Exodus) 20:07 and Devarim (Deuteronomy) 05:11 SO Ms O’Donnell is actually sinning to beat folk up for something that is not a sin in a forum that should preclude the asshattery of false piety for personal gain.
This is the problem with co-opting some other people’s religious book and splicing one’s death cult onto the backend and the backwards-arse logic gymnastics idiots have to do to justify defiling a perfectly good religion based on life and living. The attempt to fuse two divergent logical points . . . Collapsing logic streams . . . is piss-poor rhetorical practice and wholly fails to prove any point. You can not prove any point by suspending the rules of proving stuff . . . Reason and logic matters.
Do the t baggers honestly believe a more extreme view will get bills passed in congress? Nothing will get done. In fact maybe that's what the republicans are hoping for in 2012.

OB &L- Oil billionaires and lobbyists! RR Rabble rousers.
Knowing this is where the TP came from, I am scared. We know they've fostered the KKK and insane individuals, so why not Neo-Nazi Anti-Muslim terrorist hate sudsidiaries which could be MERGED under a new CORPORATE name, such as TP for purposes of electing insane officials to finally do us in?
How can we call ourselves a Christian nation?

Willie Clinton is upset because Rachel Maddow called him a Republican. If Rachel did say it, then he is a Republican. Yes, Willie is a Republican.

Is the Teabag Party really a fascist front for wayward Republicans and Democrats?
Republicans should never worry. They have won the class warfare and they have rigged our electronic voting machines with no paper trails. The United States is a Republican nation!!!

When I heard Thom read this today in the first hour of today's broadcast, it broke me down because I witnessed my Dad feel the same way when he lost his pops 7 years ago. It showed the awesome Human factor in Thom when he went to break and more importantly that Thom totals gets the meaning of life. Be kind to others and they will be kind to you, in most cases. I am living proof of that!!!!
I sent a separate email to Louise hoping Thom will see it because it moved me which is really hard to do. And to Louise BESIDE not behind every great man is a GREAT WOMAN!!!!
