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.
@harry ashburn, whatever method is being used to reduce our population, it will be used to exterminate 6.5 billion human beings. Endless wars are tried and true methods as well. Americans are truly glorified by wars. Wars warm the cockles of American hearts.
@Gerald: not necessarily extermination, but failure to reproduce will achieve the same objective. Failure to reproduce due to obesity and endocrine-disruptive toxins could bring world pop down to 500 million.
Sadly, this may or may not be Obama's Katrina, but it certainly could have been his 911, he could have rallied the American people behind him and made it political suicide not to support alternative energy.
Way to fumble the ball Mr. President.

@rladlof, you are right. We must enforce the law but who in this hell-hole country has a spine to enforce our laws?
@rladlof, maybe many of us are praying to God to help Americans with an empty brain.
@polycarp2 re: We didn't fight World War II from a church pew.
Now that's a concise statement! That's the bumper sticker that Obama needs to see!
Screw the concept of toughness . . . JUST ENFORCE THE LAW. The main job of the Executive Branch is to enforce Justice.
@Maxrot, I thought I read that Hillary was on the Board for Monsanto. Monsanto seems to be doing its part in killing off the world population so the Project for a New American Century's dream may come true to bring down our population to a sustainable level of 500 million people on planet, Earth. That means about 6.5 billion human beings must be exterminated.
Gerald,
I belong to a group of folk that prayed to an empty room.

Thom keeps mentioning when Reagan challenged G.H.W. Bush ... does he mean Gerald Ford?
@rladlof, I believe God cares for us but we should let Him know that we also care for ourselves and for our brothers and sisters who are His children.
Here's one more of my prayers:
Oh Lord please deliver us from people who tell us that their candidate would have never let this or that happen if only they had won.
I'm sorry, but there is no way I'm convinced that Gore, Kerry, H. Clinton, would have successfully fought and beat the corporate backed conservative machine. In fact I doubt seriously that any of them would have really tried.

Seriously, OBAMA is who he said is was and most of us voted for him cuz he was a crap-load less crappy than McInsane and the Twitter Quitter. There are few folk who voted for him for who he said he was.
@Maxrot, amen brother!!! Thank you for the prayer on #27!
There is a saying, "If God has given us lemons, let us make lemonade."
Re: The president asked us to pray
Sounds like Obama (being the politician he is) is trying to enlist the support of the religious right. How do you think that will "work" for him
Gerald,
While some of believe in a transcendent and immanent deity . . . Others of us believe he/she/it is busy watching his/her/its soap operas (telenovelas) and can’t be bothered at this time.
re: web streaming outage: I heard a brief, high-pitched signal before the outage. There are major solar flares expected before 2013. See the article I posted on the message board, under "environment". http://www.thomhartmann.com/forum/2010/06/disaster-due-december-21-2012
Here is a fact that my wife has said to me!!! If I was a multimillionaire like her twin sisters and their husbands, I would be just like them. My wife is probably right but I will never know whether or not my wife is right or wrong. Personally, I believe that I would still be a caring person. I would still oppose wars; I would still practice the Golden Rule; I would still pray for God's guidance; and I would still believe in God's words from the Holy Bible.
Re Swedish ladies: Huh! Winchester on M*A*S*H* said Swedish women "get so lumpy"....
Hey Gerald I have a prayer posted at #27.
You can meditate on it or not.
N
And in sweden, they have swedish ladies. There's a reason to live there, but the won't allow immigration :..(
N
G. K. Chesterton has said that workers are given slave wages.
You can believe it or not. There are times when we have to say to God that His back is strong enough to lift us up.
I have said that many our problems may be God's will to test us. Personally, America and Americans have failed all of God's tests since 1981. We are a dry rot and a rat infected nation.
Thank you for the web-stream crash. Any time the authoritarian spewings of Arthur Brooks can be squelched happiness is increased.
@rladlof, why do I get a feeling you're wearing ruby slippers?
