Al Gore's Nobel Acceptance Speech.
Al's Journal ^ | 12-10-2007 | Al Gore

Posted on 12/10/2007 10:07:03 PM PST by HisKingdomWillAbolishSinDeath

Your Majesties, Your Royal Highnesses, Honorable members of the Norwegian Nobel Committee, Excellencies, Ladies and gentlemen.

I have a purpose here today. It is a purpose I have tried to serve for many years. I have prayed that God would show me a way to accomplish it.

Sometimes, without warning, the future knocks on our door with a precious and painful vision of what might be. One hundred and nineteen years ago, a wealthy inventor read his own obituary, mistakenly published years before his death. Wrongly believing the inventor had just died, a newspaper printed a harsh judgment of his life’s work, unfairly labeling him “The Merchant of Death” because of his invention – dynamite. Shaken by this condemnation, the inventor made a fateful choice to serve the cause of peace.

Seven years later, Alfred Nobel created this prize and the others that bear his name.

Seven years ago tomorrow, I read my own political obituary in a judgment that seemed to me harsh and mistaken – if not premature. But that unwelcome verdict also brought a precious if painful gift: an opportunity to search for fresh new ways to serve my purpose.

Talk about a wolf in sheep's clothing. Hold on to your cookies, this is a pretty rough ride. Again, how close did he come to the Presidency?

What a condescending self centered ass.

I’m here to save the world!

But hey, I am willing to do my part.

I offer to live just like Al!

Mansion, private jets, hundred thousand dollar speech fees.

I woke up to this Monday morning.

All I could think was this guy (Al Gore) is so 1980’s New Age mantra it isn’t even funny.

I am suprized he didn’t use the words Mother Earth.

Even mocking Robert Frost by misusing a poem of his.

Then the crowd just looking at their stone cold sad faces I thought hey they look like some of the old cults who would dress up all in the same orange clothes, think it was one here in Oregon.

So Al is his own God and his audiance his cult. JMO

It’s the Nobel B.S. Award. Gore’s speech was fitting.

I thought this was a spoof.
'They actually gave him the prize for doing nothing?' :
I'm paraphrasing my eldest son's question.

Deranged, corrupt, greedy, megalomaniacal baby-killer. A man who is both mentally ill and evil—a rare combination. A genuine Man of Lies. A man utterly given over to falsehood, murder, theft, and idolatry. He has become incapable of even pretending to be humble or gracious.

"We are what is wrong"

The mantra of enviro-whackjobs all over!

btw, what was the nonsense about linking HIV-AIDS to global warming???? The pompous gasbag certainly knows how to push all the buttons of the politically correct:

"We must understand the connections between the climate crisis and the afflictions of poverty, hunger, HIV-Aids and other pandemics. As these problems are linked, so too must be their solutions. We must begin by making the common rescue of the global environment the central organizing principle of the world community."

Gork's speech? If honest, 'twould be something like this:

''Good evening, your Majesty, members of the Nobel Committee, and ladies and gentlemen.

''As you may know, I've attended both Divinity School and Law School. True, I flunked out of one and resigned from the other before I could flunk out, but from these tragedies, I learned something.

''I learned, specifically, that a person doesn't have to be a preacher or a lawyer in order to con people successfully. I learned that there are all sorts of other possibilities out there, and so I entered politics.

''After my father died, I was unsuccessful in that field, too. Being fortunate, I remembered what I had learned from my failings in graduate school: there are all sorts of ways to con people.

''In the 1990s, I learned that one of the best ways to con people was to make them panic, and then get them to pay me to stop thier panic. Of course, they could have stopped their own panic at any time without me, but, I figured that anyone who turned to me for advice and counsel wasn't bright enough to figure that out for themselves. Besides, the money was very good.

''In 2000, as you know, despite our party's best attempts, at the time, at unprecedented vote fraud, I still found myself unable to be elected. I hadn't reckoned on...well, as far as that goes, I hadn't even considered...the wisdom of the Framers of our Constitution, which prevented our fraud from succeeding.

''Since then, I've read our Constitution closely, and therefore have decided not to run for any public office again.

''God works in mysterious ways. Since I've left politics, and because of my long-standing concern for the environment of our planet, I've managed to con a lot of people out of a lot of money, and to get a sweetheart stock deal from one of the most intellectually dishonest companies on the planet, Google. This was part of His plan, certainly.

''We have an obligation to our planet. We must find ways to prevent any one or any nation from wrecking, perhaps for all time, our environment here on Earth. To this end, we must follow Lenin's example, and employ any tactic: lies, fear, treachery, treason, terror, whatever is necessary to prevent the people of the world from preventing us from controlling their lives in every detail.

''I am moderately grateful to the Committee for recognising my obvious genius in this field, and I humbly thank them, and your Majesty, for this honour.''

Perhaps check post #11 for a 'spoof'?

But not much of one, just a guess at what Gork might have said were he anything remotely resembling an honest person.

I bailed right there.

Was the rest something like "Me, me me me me. Me me me me me me? Me me me me me? Me. Me me me me me. Me me me me!" (pause for laugh) Me me me me, me me me me me me me me me. Me me, me me, me me me me. Me me...etc."

I was watching a documentary about the Sahara desert.
It was lush and populated with all kinds of animals and people had even drawn them on rocks. Pictures of people swimming!

Well, the earths axis changed a tiny bit, (perhaps due to a change in the molten center of the earth) and WHOOSH, in a generation it became a desert.

Gore knows this stuff. He must.

There are so many things we dont understand, massive things we barely have sratched the surface of. He knows that he has the perfect scam.

People want to believe him, like all good cult leaders.

And scammers alike. Look at the industry he has created!

Maybe I should think about getting in on this.

All these guilt ridden libs are ripe for the picking.

But I guess I just can't bring myself to lower myself to Gores despicable level.

Executive Summary:

Yep. AlGore is as clueless now as AlNobel was then.
