Thank goodness he isn't president
Friday, February 17, 2006
Al Gore continues to give us reasons to give thanks that he was not elected president in 2000.
Last month, he told an audience in Washington, D.C., that President Bush "has been breaking the law repeatedly and persistently" and "is a threat to the very structure of our government." He called for hearings into the "serious allegations of criminal behavior" on the part of President Bush.
Gore previously accused Bush of operating "a gulag" and of bringing "deep dishonor to our country."
Using this kind of intemperate rhetoric at home is bad enough, but Gore continued it this month in, of all places, Saudi Arabia. Speaking at an economic forum, he claimed that after the Sept.11 attacks, Arabs in the United States were "indiscriminately rounded up, often on minor charges of overstaying a visa or not having a green card in proper order, and held in conditions that were just unforgivable."
Gee, we spent most of 2004 listening to charges that the attacks were successful because the Bush administration wasn't attentive enough to Arabs who were in this country illegally. (That includes at least three of the hijackers.)
One of the staples of Bush-bashing is the claim that he, like his father, is too cozy with the Saudis because they have all that oil. Remember the "scandal" about a group of Saudi women, many of them related to Osama bin Laden, who were allowed to fly home several days after the attacks. The implication was that Bush should have ordered them held in custody, although it was never specified on what grounds.
Bush, we have been told, seems oblivious to the fact Saudi Arabia is one of the most repressive nations in the world and was the home country of 15 of the 19 Sept. 11 hijackers. Now, we have Gore telling the Saudis how repressive the United States is and apologizing because we were too diligent in trying to prevent another attack -- all the while providing quotes that will be disseminated to Muslim extremists all over the Middle East.
But it's a free country, even if Saudi Arabia isn't, and Gore can spout off all he wants. We're just lucky he can't do it from the White House.

There's the understatement of the month! We should be down on our knees thanking God that this crazed loon didn't become president.
"We should be down on our knees thanking God that this crazed loon didn't become president."
Been there,done that on September 11, 2001.
One of the darkest days in the history of the Republic I do declare. It drove me literally to my knees.
He also got more votes that GWB in 2000. Good thing the founders gave us the electoral college.
Wasn't Gore's father affiliated with the KGB? Given that, it seems his actions are following his father's.
Lack of patriotism + $ = sell out
Will the Secret Service come after me if I express my profound desire to repeatedly kick him in the n#ts until he STFU?
I haven't heard much about this. The press is in a frenzy over a hunting accident but pretty much silent over Gore's irresponsible rant. He has put us in greater danger and the media could care less.
Not if you throw out votes by dead Democrats and include the disenfranchised military and Florida panhandle voters.
But I agree about the Electoral College.
Even my left wing brother and friends say Gore is an embarrasment and is unhinged.
Thanking God and the little better than half of the voters that rejected him at the polls.
The true character of a man emerges when confronted with hardships, failures and challenges.
Reagan displayed immense courage when he was nearly assassinated.
Gore has shown that he is nothing but a well-tailored bum!!
I apologize for using Gore's name in the same post as Reagan's!
After the distain that the Clinton/Gore crowd treated the Secret Service they would probably join you...or at least hold him with his arms pinned behind his back while you aim carefully at his almost non-existant cajones.
She stuck to her guns, and followed the law.To me,she was an American patriot in the truest sense.
Armand Hammer. There's a name that strikes fear in every media outlet. I'm not too fond of even bringing the name up to be honest.
Anyone notice how NO Democrats outside DU are commenting on Al Gore?
