No matter how much liberals try to dress up their nutty superstitions about global warming as "science," which only six-fingered lunatics could doubt, scratch a global warming "scientist" and you get a religious fanatic.
These days, new religions are barely up and running before they seize upon the worst aspects of the God-based religions.
First, there's the hypocrisy and corruption. At the 1992 Democratic Convention in New York, Al Gore said: "The central organizing principle of governments everywhere must be the environment." The environment would not, however, be the central organizing principle of Gore's own life.
The only place Al Gore conserves energy these days is on the treadmill. I don't want to suggest that Al's getting big, but the last time I saw him on TV I thought, "That reminds me – we have to do something about saving the polar bears."
Never mind his carbon footprint – have you seen the size of Al Gore's regular footprint lately? It's almost as deep as Janet Reno's.
But I digress. As has been widely reported, Gore's Tennessee mansion consumes 20 times the energy of the average home in that state. But it's OK, according to the priests of global warming. Gore has purchased "carbon offsets."
It took the Catholic Church hundreds of years to develop corrupt practices such as papal indulgences. The global warming religion has barely been around for 20 years, and yet its devotees are allowed to pollute by the simple expedient of paying for papal indulgences called "carbon offsets."
Americans spend an extra $2.2 billion on gas a year because they're overweight, requiring more fuel in cars to carry the extra pounds. So even with all those papal indulgences, Gore may have a small carbon footprint, but he has a huge carbon butt-print.
Further proving that liberalism is a religion, its practitioners respond with the zeal of Torquemada to any dissent from the faith in global warming.
A few years ago, Danish statistician Bjorn Lomborg wrote a book titled "The Skeptical Environmentalist," disputing the hysteria surrounding global warming and other environmentalist scares. Lomborg is a Greenpeace anti-war protester – or, as he is described on liberal websites, he is a "young, gay vegetarian Dane with tight T-shirts." His book was cited favorably in the New York Times.
But for questioning the "science" behind global warming, Lomborg was brought up on charges of "scientific misconduct" by Denmark's Inquisition Court, called the "Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation." I take it Denmark's Ministry of Truth was booked solid that day.
The moment anyone diverges from official church doctrine on global warming, he is threatened with destruction. Heretics would be burned at the stake if liberals could figure out how to do it in a "carbon neutral" way.
Climatologist Dr. Timothy Ball is featured in the new documentary debunking global warming, titled "The Great Global Warming Swindle." For this heresy, Ball has received hate mail with such messages as, "If you continue to speak out, you won't live to see further global warming."
I'm against political writers whining about their hate mail because it makes them sound like Paul Krugman. But that's political writers arguing about ideology.
Global warming is supposed to be "science." It's hard to imagine Niels Bohr responding to Albert Einstein's letter questioning quantum mechanics with a statement like: "If you continue to speak out, you won't live to see further quantum mechanics."
Come to think of it, one can't imagine the pope writing a letter to Jerry Falwell saying, "If you continue to speak out, you won't live to see further infallibility."
If this is how global warming devotees defend their scientific theory, it may be a few tweaks short of a scientific theory. Scientific facts are not subject to liberal bullying – which, by the way, is precisely why liberals hate science.
A few years ago, the New York Times ran an article about the continuing furious debates among physicists about quantum mechanics, which differs from global warming in the sense that it is supported by physical evidence and it doesn't make you feel good inside to "do something" about quantum mechanics. It is, in short, science.
Though he helped develop the theory of quantum mechanics, Einstein immediately set to work attacking it. MIT cosmologist Max Tegmark called the constant testing and arguing about quantum mechanics "a 75-year war."
That's how a real scientific theory operates. That's even how a real religion operates. Only a false religion needs hate mail, threats, courts of inquisition and Hollywood movies to sustain it.
If we republicans nominate anyone kind of pro-baby-killing, we'll loose 08 to the democrats. The country is ready for a move to the right on abortion policy. Republicans MUST stand against this new form of slavery, this new holocaust that is abortion on demand.
He is scary. People like him need to be taken off the streets. He's starting to remind me of Hitler. I didn't miss him saying that he would go on a " mass persuasion campaign".
Now thats downright totally creepy. Thats what all of those evil RATs want too.
We members of Polydactals of America are OFFENDED by your slur, and DEMAND that you retract it!!
2 Samuel 21:20
In still another battle, which took place at Gath, there was a huge man with six fingers on each hand and six toes on each foot--twenty-four in all. He also was descended from Rapha.
The AIDS controversy allowed the gay community to realize that it could manipulate the halls of power in the USA, and allowed them to move towards exercising political power based solely on parameters of sexuality. So in many ways the AIDS hysteria has a continuing effect on America.
Prohibition and Global warming are similar movements. The interesting thing though is that one can SEE the immediate effects of drunkenness and alcoholism. In Global warming its simple for anyone to point at a weather factor out of context and ascribe it to global warming. Hurrican Katrina is one of them.
The social answer for some Polynesian cultures was to sacrifice virgins to volcanos. I suppose if Al gets really backed into a corner, he can always throw Tipper into the nearest hurricane and hope for the best.I can think of a few others he could sacrifice as well.And before this is over, he will.
Gore has made a bundle of money from his tyrade. That alone is enouh to make me want to barf all over the POS.
Hit it!
Doesn't Gore realize that this position puts him on a collision with another ideology disguised as religion, Islam?
Allah can still kick Gaia's butt, because he has a FAR larger and more organized militia. Most of Gaia's followers have voluntarily disarmed themselves, and go forth to do their battles in courtrooms and in mob marches. Islamic jihadists prefer to use urban guerrilla tactics, and are unafraid to throw themselves into the breach, or act as highly dedicated weapons guidance devices.
Best quote of the day!

In-a-gadda-da-vida, baby, don't you know that I love you.....In-a-gadda-da-vida, baby, don't you know that I'll always be true.....
Holy moly!
Normally I am opposed to human cloning, but I would make an exception in the case of the voluptuous Vida Guerra.
Oh....... My........ Great..... Gosh......
Dayyyuuuummmmmmmm.......
Actually, I've always wondered why Ann doesn't spend about $4000 more on food. Her body is hideous, although she has a pleasant face; maybe she is just erecting a personal defense mechanism.
Gore plays Quacky Lacky in the epic chicken little saga
And all this time I thought he was an Ent.
Priceless.
Looks like she had to sell some of her undergarments to pay the rent, poor thing!
*snort* PING!
Careful now, you're bordering on 'scientific misconduct.'
