“What has Al Gore done for world peace?”

He’s not running in the 2008 elections.

This whole GW flap will be a laughingstock in 5 years

To people like us it already is. But to the true believers, if/when they give up on it they won't even acknowledge that they ever thought it was happening. When have you heard a GW acolyte admit that he was ever a believer in Global Cooling? They pretend it nver happened.

He lost an important presidential election. That helped.

He used tons of jet fuel so fighter jets couldn’t use it.

>>As someone who cares passionately about climate change, I’ll be saying a little prayer. That he doesn’t win, of course.<<

LOVE that line!

"The man is not...a...liar. He's an exaggerator and a braggart."

He is a politician. He has an agenda, and it is not truth for its own sake. And his supporters and constituents are of the Western Left.

Truth for its own sake is not the agenda of the Left. In fact, it's not even a consideration. This is why the Left, its paradigm, and its agenda are subversive of Western Civilization. They scorn truth. They condemn their adherents to mendacity. They scorn, damn, and seek to silence truth and those who speak truth.

Truth is always threatening to a false paradigm, and those who believe that such a paradigm is truth will stop at nothing--literally nothing--to protect their paradigm and their belief in it.

We see this all around us all the time.

People will literally kill to protect a cherished paradigm.

"We can evade reality, but we cannot evade the consequences of evading reality."
Ayn Rand

I am starting a campaign to get Al Gore to run for President as a member of the Green Party. I think he could have a huge impact on the election if he were on the ballot. Then, there would be a 4-party presidential race this year.

It would be good for the country.

The former US Vice-President has already taken over from Michael Moore as the most sanctimonious lardbutt Yank on the planet.

Quote of the day!

Was Robert Mugabee nominated at one point? I thought he was back when he first came to power to revolutionize the balance of power in Zimbabwe. Back then, Zimbabwe was the oppressive breadbasket of the African continent. The rich white farmers were keeping the poor tribal inhabitants down.

Somebody help here. My memory is fuzzy.

No, it came as no surprise. "Liberalism" is a misnomer as applied to the Left. It is Orwellian newspeak. The Left is the opposite of liberal. And, exactly as you say, the Left has no commitment to truth or a search for truth. In fact, it is scornful of truth and those who speak truth.

from the article:
...already taken over from Michael Moore as the most sanctimonious lardbutt Yank on the planet.
Another sad step in the final fall of the Nobel Peace Prize, an award who's luster we thought could fall no further than Arafat.

Of course, Gore has done nothing for Peace, but instead, has come up with a convenient excuse for socialistic centralization, the real standard for honor in the leftist world of the Nobel committee.

Climate change is a norm in planetary life and the cycles that make up that norm are well documented. The anthropomorphic agenda of the left can be strengthened if the public is made to feel alarm by a crisis and Gore has turned the normal occurrence into a crisis in the mind of the left and the pandering media.

But a crisis alone is not enough to seize centralized power. A villain must be found. In the Gore fiction, there is a villain and that villain is mankind.

Now with a fictionalized global crisis and a villain, the plan can unfold.

Carbon credits are the road to an entire new level of global taxation and control. The plans will be spelled out now that the coronation has occurred.

It would make a fine satirical movie if we could get Pee Wee Herman to put on a hundred and twenty pounds.

Can anyone help me get the picture of George Bush’s 1st innauguration where you can see Hillary and Bill sitting in the audience with fuming envious faces. I believe her face was colored green by someone. I have been trying to find it and I know it’s always running around here.

Give Gore credit where credit is due....he did strip the military of 850,000 troops when he reinvented government.

Can’t help you with the first inauguration, but I have a picture of the second:

It would seem that the time is LONG past due for The Nobel Committee to be introduced to some of Alfred Nobel’s wares?
