He’s a laffaminnit ain’t he?
Who’s Al Gore??
Earth tones
Besides insomnia, why would anyone pay a dime to hear Al Gore speak?
Ronald Reagan once said, “The trouble with our liberal friends is not that they’re ignorant; it’s just that they know so much that isn’t so.”
Sounds like Al is burning a lot of carbon these days.
Why don’t Freepers BOMBARD his Current TV thingy with GREAT CONSERVATIVE STORIES!! It would make his head explode!
Just like his endorsement of Howard Dean won Dean the nomination? Ha! Hillary has the nomination already - in one of Al's lockboxes!
“As a political figure, Gore may be more palatable as a possible dark horse than an actual candidate—precisely because he seems incapable of turning his passions into sound bites. And in any campaign, he might find himself on the defensive for his business activities. In his slideshow tour, he has been paid by many companies, which could be used to challenge his integrity. ...He also headed the Apple board committee that cleared Steve Jobs of wrongdoing in the stock-options backdating scandal.”
A few inconvenient details slipped in at the end. LOL
Here’s another:
At the core of Tertullian’s teachings lay his bitter admonition that life in the 2nd century had become too extravagant, too wasteful, and that population growth had run out of control. Mankind was raping the Earth of its resources, he warned grimly “...we men have actually become a burden to the Earth ... the Earth can no longer support us ...” And, to escape total planetary destruction, mankind had to withdraw to the past and practice severe asceticism, living in a simpler more natural state. ~ Tertullian of Carthage.

“The best days in politics are still ahead,” Tony Snow told the audience at the Golden Press Card awards program Friday night.
Snow, the keynote speaker ...called Gore a “practical liar, but not an accomplished liar” in discussing fundraising at the Buddhist temple. He questioned how Gore could have not known he was at the temple when the people were wearing robes, burning incense and ringing temple bells.
Gore’s book, Earth in the Balance, is one of the most “vividly crazy books I’ve read in my life,” Snow said. He drew parallels between Gore’s book and the Unabomber’s Manifesto, saying that they contained similar arguments. ... ~ Sally Guthrie

The following are highlights from a 1992 Democratic National Committee (DNC) memo by Jonathan Sallet to the Clinton-Gore campaign that highlighted Gore vulnerabilities from his extremist manifesto Earth in the Balance.
The memo was obtained by the Wall Street Journal, which published it in August of 1992. Among the DNC’s findings:
“Al is a radical environmentalist who wants to change the very fabric of America.”
“He (Gore) criticizes America for being America — a place where people enjoy the benefits of an advanced standard of living.”
“He (Gore) has no sense of proportion: He equates the failure to recycle aluminum cans with the Holocaust.”
“He (Gore) believes that our civilization, itself, is evil (because it is, in his words, ‘addicted to the consumption of the earth.’)”
Recently Gore was asked by Gannett News if his opinions have changed since writing Earth in the Balance. Gore said:
“There is not a single passage in that book that I disagree with or would change.”
(Gannett News Service, 3/23/99)
Gore called the internal combustion engine the greatest enemy of mankind.
This is a hold over from previous branding attempts. Gore synchopants have been pushing this myth for 15 years and STILL no one really believes it.
In other words, "global warming" = "way to beat up Republicans after other methods have failed" .
