Thom Hartmann speaks the truth



What Thom Hartmann says in this piece is spot-on, that today's Republican Party is just downright unAmerican. They want to dismantle the middle class, plunge us into endless wars, do everything in their power to enrich billionaires and to defy the Founding Fathers they pretend to so revere when they are probably rolling in their graves at what this country has become under their agenda. They've spent the better part of 30 years undoing everything that generations have fought - and in some cases, died - to preserve. They are traitors, the lot of them, none moreso than Dick Cheney, who has the blood of thousands on his hands and must be held to account for it. I want everyone to watch this piece and to listen carefully to some of the past Presidents that Hartmann quotes, from James Madison to Thomas Jefferson to Grover Cleveland to Theodore Roosevelt to Franklin Delano Rooosevelt. They were all excoriating the idea of corporate power, endless war and robber barons. These TEA Partiers may fancy themselves as re-enacting the Revolutionary spirit of the Founders, but those folks were revolting against the corporate power of the British East India Tea Company. How soon they forget! I doubt any TEA Partiers here are listening, but if you are, you're being deceived by your own kind. WAKE UP and listen to what past Presidents warned us about. If we don't stop this march toward corporate dominance of our country and endless warfare around the world, we are through as a nation, and we will fall the very same way as Rome did and for the same reasons. Don't say you weren't warned.......

Thom Hartmann is a national treasure; a truth teller of old.
