Mueller's favorite place to pray (written about in "Prophet's Way"), and the roof of the room where the Last Supper is reputed to have happened.
From Screwed:
"I think many of us recognize that for all but the wealthiest, life in America is getting increasingly hard. Screwed explores why, showing how this is no accidental process, but rather the product of conscious political choices, choices we can change with enough courage and commitment. Like all of Thom’s great work, it helps show us the way forward."
From Unequal Protection, 2nd Edition:
"If you wonder why and when giant corporations got the power to reign supreme over us, here’s the story."
From Cracking the Code:
"In Cracking the Code, Thom Hartmann, America’s most popular, informed, and articulate progressive talk show host and political analyst, tells us what makes humans vulnerable to unscrupulous propagandists and what we can do about it. It is essential reading for all Americans who are fed up with right-wing extremists manipulating our minds and politics to promote agendas contrary to our core values and interests."
Absolutely, YES!
Although none of the Republicans deserve any respect, all of the Democrats deserve every disrespect.

Sadly thom, I see you have some total ignoramuses here who haven't the slightest clue about the concept of RESPECT. The America that is presenting itself today is not the America I know and love. Our Congress has NEVER EVER been this dysfunctional. And we can thank the likes of the deadbeat dad, himself, Rep. Joe Walsh and the rest of the Tea Party. For the better part of 225 years, we have had parties that have not always agree ...NOONE says that Walsh has to agree with the President, but to boycott the President's speech? That is the height of disrespect and changes everything about our Congress and the magnitude of a speech to a Joint Session. And, if I may ask, how is it that this bastard isn't in jail? HE IS A DEADBEAT DAD!!! Bottom line .. His disrespect for the office of the united states is repugnant. Maybe it's a good thing that he has nothing to do with his kids -- he is only setting an awful example.
Speaker Boehner needs to grow some cojones and confront this lunatic fringe before they finish what Bush and Cheney started and totally destroy America.
What are you, 12 Mr. Cyr? This is the PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES!!! And who the hell is Joe Walsh, some two bit deadbeat dad whose 15 minutes of fame is about up. If you think what Walsh is doing is correct, I hope your kids show you the same amt of respect as joe walsh shows our president. Shame on you. But then again, I see you're promoting the Green Party - genius.
I almost expect this from joe walsh,This is the exact kind of people we need to get out of elected office.He talks about fiscal responsablity out of one side of his mouth and denies his own children child support out of the other.He is a prime example of bad government.
I agree with you DenMan71. There are many "joe walsh"es that need to be unseated at the end of this two-year term!
My questions to joe walsh is how many jobs he will have created when he's back home? Where can we apply for the jobs?
Obama is a war criminal. I don't respect war criminals, nor those who vote for them.
The "progressive" liberals can love and respect Obama because their votes provided a popular mandate to make a "dumb" war become "necessary" wars (plural). Now there are more wars of aggression, more private contractors, more use of robotic weapons... and the Bush limitations upon the use of torture have been removed, so any medieval practice can be practiced now upon "suspects" now ordinarily renditioned to black sites... out of sight, out of liberal minds.
I see no reason for any good person having to respect Obama, or those who voted for him.
Democrats deserve every disrespect because they've earned it.

These comments are beginning to resemble the comments I see every day on Yahoo news.
I agree that there are a lot of Democrats who don't deserve respect, but we were talking about the office of the President of the United States, not just the man currently occupying the office. While I didn't respect George W Bush, I respected the office he held, which is the point. Since the Republicans, and apparently David J. Cyr don't seem to respect neither President obama or the office he holds, it speaks volumes about where this country is headed. If any of you would like to learn more about what the true Republican agenda is I just viewed a documentary called CASINO JACK THE UNITED STATES OF MONEY. It is about Jack Abramhoff who was a lobbyist in DC and the documentary spans back 30 to 40 years through not only his career, but of the college Republicans. Thom hasn't mentioned this one yet, but of all the ones I've recently watched, this scared the hell out of me if Republicans take over the office in 2012.
If these kinds of comments are on Yahoo news, then good for them.
I think of it this way. How far would a member of the board get if he disrespected the CEO of the corporation he worked for? The government is OUR corporation and the President is our CEO. The board was also voted in by us. Although you want to see disagreements, so you can get the best ideas and go forward, RESPECT is mandatory. What are we becoming? Joe Walsh needs to grin and be respectful, as when he is not, he is not just disrespecting the President, he is disrespecting us. What's he going to do next?...hold his breath?
