From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Thom Hartmann channels the best of the American Founders with voice and pen. His deep attachment to a democratic civil society is just the medicine America needs."
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 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."
WE must NOT let the war profiteers.. like Halliburton,Blackwater, Lockheed, GE scam us into another wasteful vile war with Iran or anyone ! go to www.congress.gov www.whitehouse.gov 202 456 1111 M-F till 5 Speak out
I don't want another war, but it seems that it's all they know. Let's hope president does the right thing with NO MORE WAR
Dammit-the US simply can't keep their nose out of a good scrap, nor can Isreal.I want Iran to have the bomb so their neighbours will leave them alone.Can you blame Iran for wanting the bomb-after seeing what happened to Iraq?If the Gaza strip had an aircraft carrier task force, I'm sure Israel would be so much more polite.A balance of power in the middle east would be a good thing.Hey-this communist doesn't care if the christians, jews and muslims kill each other and leave the world for us commies.
Iran will be attacked if the Republicans win 11/12 - - -
I seriously doubt any of the current candidates are going to win the Presidency and they are just beating their chests and trying to stir up Americans. Same old BS from the GOP. Fear tactics and "they're out to get you." I'm really beginning to wonder if anyone is after us or it's us that is after them. After all, we have to support our military industrial complex. Why else have a 100 years of almost continual war? It's all political.
The Arab Spring was begun in hopes of solidifying the control of the Middle East/North Africa because of the oil, oil, oil. The Western natiions are realizing that oil and gas is a finite natural resource; so the oil companies are fracking, taking drops out of the sands, taking natural resources through the use of eminent domain from private property, and going ahead with the XL pipeline from Canada south to the Gulf of Mexico. The pipeline through Afghanistan has been blocked, Pakistan has a new friend in China. The Navy has moved into the Gulf of Hormus, for no other reason than to be in place for a war with Iran to take possession of OIL.
The POTUS is impotent when it comes to the greed of the oil corporations and the private companies that unashameably make fortunes with war. As David Rockerfeller said, "The time to make money, is when the streets are running with blood".
since when does the legality of war make a difference when their is oil to be had?!
