It's convenient to hate Al Gore, not to believe him

The Gores trashed the lives, reputations, and careers of musicians when he was a senator. Store clerks (not the store owner, manager, or inventory buyer) were arrested for selling "obscene" albums to minors.

They've moved on from that concern.

They will crush people just to be popular. If it was a heartfelt issue, their fervor might be understood. In the end, it was just politics. I suspect that Gore's father, Albert Gore Sr. told him of the 1950s when he was a senator and lost his bid for "greatness" when fellow Tennesseee senator Estes Kefauver ran a Senate hearing on juvenile delinquency and attacked sex and violence in comic books. Kefauver got the VP nomination and Al Gore Sr. never got anything.

Seeing as the PMRC hearings came shortly before Gore's 1988 presidential run, I suspect that was his motive. People's lives and morality meant nothing to him.

Great post. Bookmarking.

Coffeeville Journal? Coffeeville Kansas? Home of the Dalton Gang? That figures. I can't figure why so many small-town editors claim to be "conservative", yet parrot the NYT and the rest of the RAT media. Apparently, they think that mindless repetition of RAT talking points will get them out of Podunk and into a "real" big-city paper.

As a conservative, albeit a fairly moderate one, I really, really don't like Al Gore.

Pro-Life, turned Pro-Abortion Gore? Conservative? Sounds like a liberal trying to make a slander on someone he really doesn't like.

Oh, I think the issue is that few have read about the detail of the hidden agenda of the eviro-socialists enough to understand it. The lack of articles about the Rio conferences agendas and the Kyoto Treaty's failings and flaws is to unbelievable to be accidental.

There was a treaty, beloved by the eco-leninist crowd, that was defeated 98-1 in the US Senate and there was no detail coverage as to why it was defeated.

The vast bulk of all the critcal analyisis is virtually hidden by the media, leftist academics and the like.

A small town journalist is just as likely to be misinformed as Joe SixPack.

I always end up laughing at people who try to impress me with their intelligence.

I agree. You should browse on over to the discussions on the Darwin topics. Those Darwin apologists are excruciating.

[Hildy]

IT's incredible to me that there are actually people that think global warming is more of a threat to us than Islamic terrorists.

[danamco]

we all need to drop and thank God that he didn't do anything while in office.





And for sure be thankful to Ms. Katrine Harris that he was NOT able to steal the 2000 election and possibly be the occupant the White House now!??!

[ElkGroveDan]

I'm more worried about splinters in my backyard fence than I am about so-called global warming.

[danamco]

I always end up laughing at people who try to impress me with their intelligence. ALGore is the poster boy for that.

GLOBAL WARMING ALERT: GORE BURNS 439,500 LBS OF FUEL TO ATTEND SUMMIT

"The most vulnerable part of the Earth's environment is the very thin layer
of air clinging near to the surface of the planet, that we are now so
carelessly filling with gaseous wastes that we are actually altering the
relationship between the Earth and the Sun - by trapping more solar
radiation under this growing blanket of pollution that envelops the entire
world," Vice President Gore told the U.N. Global Warming conference of 159
nations this morning in Koyto, Japan.

In what was one the most dramatic speeches in recent memory, Gore announced
to world leaders: "Whether we recognize it or not, we are now engaged in an
epic battle to right the balance of our Earth, and the tide of this battle
will turn on when the majority of people in the world become sufficiently
aroused by shared sense of urgent danger to join an all-out effort."

Applause filed the halls of the Kyoto International Conference Center. "We
must achieve a safe overall concentration level for greenhouse gases in the
Earth's atmosphere."

The message is serious. So serious in fact, the DRUDGE REPORT has
calculated that Vice President Al Gore is burning more than 439,500 pounds
of fuel, or 65,600 gallons, at a cost of more than $131,000 on his 16,000
mile daytrip, just to deliver the warning.

Now that's commitment.

"The extra heat which cannot escape is beginning to change the global
patterns of climate to which we are accustomed. Our fundamental challenge
now is to find out whether and how we can change the behaviors that are
causing the problem."

Gore's plane, a Boeing 707 gas guzzler burns on average 4.1 gallons a mile.
The complete Washington to Florida to Washington to Alaska to Japan and
return to Washington trip calculated from commercial air mileage tables is
just over 16,000 miles total. Gas gallons needed for AIR FORCE II to go
16,000 miles: 65,600. Applying the average price of $2.01 per gallon of
Jet A to the 16,000 mile r/t -- the fuel cost alone passes $131,000.00.
There are 6.7 pounds per gallon of jet fuel. Total pounds of fuel burned on
Gore's Global Warming Express -- 439,500.

Unprecedented Leadership.

I'M losing my tolerance for stupidity as I get older, so I don't think I will bother with the Darwin topics. I will read and laugh at the Darwin Awards.

"Nuclear power is the way to go. We need nuclear not because of the Global Warming Hoax but because it is cheaper and renewable."

I am all for nuclear, but I don't think uranium "renews" itself, the amount is finite.

I am all for nuclear, but I don't think uranium "renews" itself, the amount is finite.

That is true but in a breeder reactor using a mixture of the fissionable U235 the majority of the Uranium in the fuel rods is U238. A percentage of it will be converted into fissionable plutonium which can also be used as a reactor fuel. The plutonium is extracted from the rods and reprocessed for fuel for reactors. Yes the total supply if finite but by using this process we will have literal hundreds of years of fuel. This is also the process we use to obtain the plutonium for our nuclear weapons.

Here's the message:

Does global warming exist? The "inconvenient truth" is that it doesn't matter. Even if the theory is hogwash, there are still many other ills caused by the burning of fossil fuels, as well as hundreds of other human activities that are killing the planet. When our soil, air and water are all saturated with toxic wastes, the rainforests are gone and cattle are the Earth's most exotic animals, we may long for the days when someone was blathering about the heat.

Man is destroying the planet.

How much does mankind effect global warming or global cooling? As much as one fart effects air quality in the Huston Astrodome.

I suppose that we could have done better if the election was between GW Bush and Ann Coulter...

Or between Lieberman and Bush. I think I still would have voted for Bush with those choices.

[Mr. Buzzcut]

It's convenient to hate Al Gore, not to believe him

I'm still trying to make sense of this.

[Mr. Buzzcut]

But for some inexplicable reason, Gore is right up there on the GOP "enemies" list

Could have something to do with his pathological refusal in 2000 to accept the fact that his constituents were too stupid to mark a ballot and accept defeat, in the process setting the stage for the Bush Derangement Syndrome that has so many seemingly rooting for the enemy in this war.

[dubyawhoiluv]

on the view today tipper had to repeat the mantra "well he did get 500,000 more vote than the other guy" ,yea honey from california and n.y and hubby got all those electoral college votes assigned; just maybe if he had won his own state he would have been PRES. now.

[sport]

It was either President Bush, global warmingor the White Man.

Take your pick.

[winner3000]

(I hate that Gore, his cronies on the Left and their opponents on the Right have turned the environment into an "us versus them" issue.)

Sorry, but the Left, including this writer, have done that by using the Environment issue to clobber capitalism, when capitalism is usually the solutions to problems.
