From Cracking the Code:
"No one communicates more thoughtfully or effectively on the radio airwaves than Thom Hartmann. He gets inside the arguments and helps people to think them through—to understand how to respond when they’re talking about public issues with coworkers, neighbors, and friends. This book explores some of the key perspectives behind his approach, teaching us not just how to find the facts, but to talk about what they mean in a way that people will hear."
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Thom is a national treasure. Read him, embrace him, learn from him, and follow him as we all work for social change."
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Right through the worst of the Bush years and into the present, Thom Hartmann has been one of the very few voices constantly willing to tell the truth. Rank him up there with Jon Stewart, Bill Moyers, and Paul Krugman for having the sheer persistent courage of his convictions."
I see no point in denying reality...that is never a good idea...that said I think we need to face up to this reality....the Oligarchs are on the verge of essentially realizing their life-long dream of destorying ALL unions...here in the US and the world...but particularly here in the US. The real question for me is how bad do things need to get....how much do people need to suffer before they REALLY right back...using ANY MEANS NECESSARY.. OWS may be that answer...I pray it is
And it is happening under Obama
Under Obama ...and a stalling blocking union hating -workers rights hating- women hating GOP Bagger congress. This should renew our efforts to fight and fight harder against powerful forces that have been trying to crush middle class last 30 years . US has lived under Reaganomics Bush 1-2 GOP deregulation, amnesty , toxic wealth favoring policies, unfunded corp cuts- massive debt, 2 unfunded long wars Iraq based on lies and war profits.. wasting trillions , very con judges that protect the top while our wages & benefits have tanked . hate unions ? well Once unions go Your wages will come next
Voters are starting to see what 2010 GOP Congress has done....NOTHING but demand more corp cuts- more deregulations- cuts to our kids education,disabled, old folks in nursing homes . GOP has taken our country hostage to get their way even as it hurts jobs / US economy. Reaganomics Bush GOP created deregulation policies, debt, corp cuts, lies about Iraq war are what drove us to edge of a deep 1929 depression . I fear hate for Obama is so strong on the far right that they will vote for anyone that pushes their agenda on the rest of us. Religeon / Church must not control our elections in any way. We fought a war to get away from Church and the King of England . NO Mitt Corps are NOT People Money is NOT speech ! WE must Fight for whats right . Speak out Act Fight Do something besides gripe .
and your point is? Perhaps the President should occupy the Senate with Kalashnikov to ensure Democracy.
Obviously, I am quite tired of the nonsense that somehow the President is responsible or that the Congress is responsible.
The Congress has been broken by a minority of thugs taking full advantage of rules that have outlived their usefullness to Democracy and freedom.
What do you mean (SLOW) if they went any quicker they'd get a speeding ticket. We had the right idea here in AK send a few to jail to encourage the rest to be honest and honorable, I know, honesty and Republican are no longer on speaking terms.
