I know I have been rough on the big guy over the past few years. After all, the fat bastard is suffering from severe delusions of grandeur – something that I ordinarily don’t mind in and of itself, however Albert has taken it that next step by trying to jam his annoying opinions down our throats and pass it off as fact. That makes me mad.
But, Al Gore has proven to be useful in the sense that he excels at bringing out the only people on the planet worse than he is, thereby allowing us the opportunity to identify them as the complete wastes of carbon and water that they are.
For example, I did a news search for Al Gore this morning in an attempt to find a transcript of his bowel wrenching speech yesterday. While i didn’t immediately find a transcript to scrutinize, I did find something better… Christine Pelosi’s blog entry about it from Huffington. Yes, for those who don’t know, Christine is Nancy “I hate all of you Americans” Pelosi’s daughter, and perhaps one of the few people who makes her look like a decent human being by comparison.
Since Christine didn’t do much other than sum up the points Albert made, let’s take a look at what Little Pelosi jr. concluded about a speech that, for lack of any better way to put it, could possibly be the most outrageously insulting and delusional bit of trash to ever leave the lips of another human being…
Overall, a phenomenal call to service for a generation of Americans hungry for change. Gore’s speech ended to the U2 “Beautiful Day” soundtrack and an energized crowd ready for action.
Uh huh. But that’s not the best part. What makes this all worthwhile are the comments on her blog in response. I won’t repost all of them, but I will repost my favorites and let you bask in them for a while and gain an understanding as to why I say that Al Gore really brings out the finest stock of people…
If we grew Industrial Hemp on just 6% of our land mass of the lower 48 states we could run all of the energy for America now matter what it was used for including electricity….and it eats CO2 like crazy and spits out oxygen… — darthdarcy
Every time Gore speaks I am nearly brought to tears because he makes me recall all we could have accomplished and all we have lost in the last eight years. This issue above any other is the reason to vote for Obama. You may be rich and not want to get taxed, you may think we can succeed in making a lasting democracy in Iraq, you may think direct diplomacy in dealing with dictators is wrong, you may feel betrayed by Barack’s compromise on FISA, you may think that abortion is murder…but guess what? You cannot be pro-life and still cling to the “global-warming-is-hoax” argument. Barack Obama understands this as Gore does, and though McCain says he wants to tackle global climate change, his off-shore drilling position betrays this. The strict pro-lifers decided not to take their own advice by spearheading an immoral war based in cowardice and deep seeded fear of all things Middle Eastern, will the impending deaths of 6.5 billion force them to finally vote “liberal” (I still can’t believe the environment is a political issue)? I ask everyone with an open mind (and forcefully ask those that don’t) to truly examine who is the party that believes in preserving life. WE NEED TO ACT NOW! — luckynewman
The last eight years? Try the last thirty years, Carter tried to start getting America to realize the coming energy crisis. But Reagan and Cheney laughed him out of town. — liberal2
Yes, great speech. Omama should beg him to take the VP slot. — avraamjack
I was there. The announcement of the 10 year goal brought the house to its feet. Let’s do it. What could have been if he had been installed as president instead of whom we have now. — nickhp
There are others, of course, but you get the picture. As far as I can figure, these people are not living on planet Earth. I’m not sure where they live, but it isn’t here. But on the plus side, they’re good for a hearty laugh as well as serving as a reminder to us that the crazy people are getting more unhinged and are getting easier to pick out due to their wild-eyed fanatcism. With any luck, we’ll eventually start rounding them up and putting them into asylums – hopefully government-funded asylums since they seem to like socialized medicine so much – where they can get the labotomies and tranquilizers that they so desperately need.
P.S. As a closing note, McCain has once again proven that he is a dead fish and has no place amongst conservatives… he has also shown once again that no matter who wins this fall, we’re screwed:
“… there may be some aspects of climate change that he and I are in disagreement (on).” Of the goals Gore outlined Thursday for generating more electricity with solar and wind resources, McCain said, “If the vice president says it’s doable, I believe it’s doable.”
Dear friend,
I urgently need your help.
I’m in Charleston, West Virginia attempting to get Bob Barr on the ballot. When I arrived early Wednesday morning, I didn’t think it would be possible, but I had to give it a shot.
We’re headed toward 48 state ballot access. Only West Virginia and Oklahoma are problems. However, there is hope in Oklahoma as we have just filed a lawsuit to get Bob Barr and Wayne Root on the ballot there.
If we win that case, only West Virginia will stand in our way of 50 state ballot access – an apex of achievement for a third-party candidate and something the media cannot ignore.
But here’s my problem.
There is no active Libertarian Party in West Virginia and a very limited pool of volunteers.
I have had to bring in out-of-state petitioners from across the nation to get this drive done.
So far I have 13 petitioners on the ground and another nine on their way.
I didn’t think we would have the manpower to get the drive done, but now I think it’s a possibility. I have enough petitioners in the state and on their way to collect enough signatures by our August 1st deadline.
But I won’t have the money to finish the drive if I don’t raise $43,000 by close of business on Monday.
Russ Verney, our campaign manager, wrote to me this morning and instructed me to shut down the drive if I cannot raise the funds by COB Monday.
So far this month, we’re raised less than $100,000. We’re even off pace from our June fundraising totals.
The campaign cannot afford this ballot drive as I write this. We would have to choose between basic campaign operations or the possibility of 50 state ballot access.
Russ has to make a tough call on this drive but he did give me 96 hours to raise the funds to continue the effort.
I ask that you keep this drive alive by helping me raise $43,000 by close of business on Monday.
Please make an emergency donation to fund the West Virginia ballot access drive right now. Please give generously by clicking here.
My friend, I’ve only been in this state for a few days and we need to be on the ballot here.
When I arrived in West Virginia it was 2:30 in the morning. I pulled into a hotel parking lot and a restaurant owner and one of her patrons were standing outside smoking a cigarette.
They didn’t look too happy.
As it turns out, just a few weeks earlier the county had banned smoking in all “enclosed workplaces” including bars and restaurants.
I’m not a smoker, but it’s the property owner’s decision to allow or disallow smoking on their premises – it is not a county bureaucrats’ decision.
When I explained libertarian philosophy to them and told them about our candidate Bob Barr, their eyes lit up.
They did not know that there is an alternative to the two-party system. They didn’t know that there is a party that respects an individual’s rights and personal decisions.
Since then, I’ve talked to many more folks in this state and the same holds true. We need to give West Virginians a better choice and the only way to do that is to get Bob Barr on the ballot.
Please donate today and help me keep this drive alive. I have two weeks left to pull it off and I sincerely need your support.
A gift of $50, $100, $250 or more would be a significant help. If you can’t give $50, give $5 or $10. Every dollar gets us one step closer to getting a pro-liberty candidate on the ballot in what could be our final ballot access hurdle.
Thank you for all that you do.
In Liberty,
Shane Cory
Deputy Campaign Manager
Bob Barr 2008
That second comment is actually stunning. You can’t be pro-life and believe that global warming is a hoax? Then liberal2, Carter realized there was an energy crisis? Carter created it back then.
This is the next generation, we are losing and losing fast. I don’t know what to do.
