I am convinced that Naomi Klein's "Shock Doctrine" and John Dean's "Conservatives Without a Conscience" are in full swing. For too long, we silly, hippy, liberal free-thinkers were having fun and taking our democracy for granted, while Dr. Frankenstein was busy in his lab, building the corporate monster. What will happen now?
I'm glad to see the uprisings throughout the world. I think someday we will be doing the same thing. Some are already doing this but not in the intensity we see in Libya, for example.
We possibly could avoid this if can continue to rise up as in Wisconsin. Wouldn't be nearly as bloody, I think.
"Once again, Thom Hartmann hits the bull’s eye with a much needed exposé of the so-called ‘free market.’ Anyone concerned about the future of our nation needs to read Screwed now."
—Michael Toms, Founding President, New Dimensions World Broadcasting Network and author of A Time For Choices: Deep Dialogues for Deep Democracy
From Screwed:
"The powers that be are running roughshod over the powers that OUGHT to be. Hartmann tells us what went wrong — and what you and I can do to help set American right again."
—Jim Hightower, National Radio Commentator, Writer, Public Speaker, and author of the bestselling Thieves in High Places
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Through compelling personal stories, Hartmann presents a dramatic and deeply disturbing picture of humans as a profoundly troubled species. Hope lies in his inspiring vision of our enormous unrealized potential and his description of the path to its realization."
—David Korten, author of Agenda for a New Economy, The Great Turning, and When Corporations Rule the World

They pander only to get elected.. For the most part I believe they do the bidding of major corporations (because thats where their money comes from)..
RE: No! The Republicans will come to their senses and stop pandering to the far right wing and the war of workers
