I've never understood the "To have a good marriage, you have to work on it every day" mentality... I mean if you have to work at it, something seems wrong. Is it labor to tell your signifigant other that you love them? Is it labor to hug and kiss them often? Is it labor to listen to them? Is it labor to share your thoughts? I don't find it laborious, I enjoy all of that and much more with my wife. I have a great marriage, and I enjoy it every day. Sorry for all those who have to toil at it, sounds miserable.

My goosh! Thom Harthman,why is it you are surprised that the Dems in congress are trying to out do the GOP on tax-cuts ?
The experiment has failed,the only solution is for the country to go down in flames...then we can rebuild,most of us are not going to live that long to see it.Look,Dems(i.e.BClinton) have helped the GOP in getting the country to the sorry state it is in,and you ARE SURPRISED what the Dems are doing to poor folks.
Stop pandering for chrissakes!

Carrie Lukas lied? Geez, when has she ever spoken truth?

The standard right wing answer to everything. Lie and then lie about lying.

Thom, I know that you have a policy to not have someone criticize a guest who could not defend a talking point or a lying point. I am glad that you gave some callers latitude to correct Carrie Lukas' misinformation. I use the word misinformation out of the kindness in my heart.

Here is a repost from February 12, 2011.
Here are some dire statistics that our son has shared with us. From January, 2001 to January, 2011, the American work force has 1.5 million fewer jobs and the American population has increased 11.5 million. Foreign workers with skilled trade visas can enter our country without any limits in their numbers. Our American government is lying to us about our improving economy. To stop our endless wars would mean a greater unemployment percentage. That will never happen because America is a war time economy.
I voted for Obama but what I feel is that he mugged me and kicked the crap out of me in an old-fashion alley mugging.

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 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 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."
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Thom Hartmann is a creative thinker and committed small-d democrat. He has dealt with a wide range of topics throughout his life, and this book provides an excellent cross section. The Thom Hartmann Reader will make people both angry and motivated to act."

This week’s newsletter from our Church stresses that we are to make peace with all our brothers and sisters. When we offer a gift to God, He asks us to include all human beings.
Justice is living in a right relationship with God and fellow human beings. Justice means we acknowledge the rights of all human beings. We are to offer a quality of life to all who are born.
We are also called to a life of reconciliation. Reconciliation with others implies our respecting their rights and opening our hearts in concrete gestures. Jesus demands that we create human solidarity.
Believing in God is choosing life. If we do not choose life for our brothers and sisters, we are crucifying Jesus again. As I read the newsletter, I saw Americans crucifying Jesus over and over again.

I know that I upset people because I refer to our country as the United States of Mortal Sin. I refer to our country in a way that reflects Americans and its politicians and Supreme Court justices. Ninety-five percent of the people will break commandments – Five, Seven, Eight, Ten, and Eleven. Seventy-five percent of the people will also break commandments – Six and Nine. We are a very sinful people who are swimming in an ocean of mortal sin.
On the morning of February 14, 2011 I had a nightmare. I am still shaking from it and the sweat from my body keeps pouring out. I have already drenched three beach towels with my sweat and I am now on my fourth beach towel.
I was given a vision of the supernatural hell. I do not know if the vision came from my guardian angel, my Jesus, or a heavenly saint. The vision was a nightmare. THE SUPERNATURAL HELL IS THE UNITED STATES OF MORTAL SIN. As an American I was born in a supernatural hell; I am living in a supernatural hell; I will die in a supernatural hell; and I may probably never leave a supernatural hell.
I want to also share with you that I have written where American corporations and the American rich can afford the cost of toilet paper. On each roll of toilet paper is written the Untied States Constitution. Yes, American corporations and the American rich are wiping their behinds with the United States Constitution.

My wife and I were eating breakfast. She made an interesting observation. She mentioned that the cost of paper towels is going up. I said that my concern was with the increase in the price of toilet paper. She said that we should save our old telephone books because the pages in these books are quite thin and we could wipe our behinds with pages from the telephone books.
