Gore's megalomania is becoming clinical. What a catastrophe we almost endured in 2000...

[LewWaters]

Shutting of the debate on this as credible scientists are refuting the notion is about par for the course from the left. For all the cries of "dialogue" on every other issue, their fear of this being proven wrong is just staggering.

Odd too how the left's solution is always to raise America's taxes

When Gore speaks of the "few" what most people do not realize is his and their plans for the "others".

Going by history, I assume he and they plan on killing all of us not deemed necessary for their new world.

He is a pyschopath.

Gore has trashed the USA in one way or another ever since he trashed his office on the way out the door in 2001.......

He's slowly becoming a laughing stock one convert at a time....and enough kids know science today to see the vice charade-in-chief as nothing more than a torn page in history. The lengths they went to down in Bali to keep the 'actual' scientists out of the meeting is laughable. The commune rejects see this pin action as their last chance to turn off the electricity and drive us back to the stone age. No other explanation is plausible.

Rush Limbaugh said yesterday the number one reason Gore is not throwing his hat in the ring for the nomination is that he will surely be questioned on the global warming theory and that would knock him right out of the box.

keep in mind the Gore's hedge fund is in the
business of approving projects
that generate 'carbon offsets'.

So Gore is a pissed off wanna-be intellectual who is grieved for not being in power. Have to hand it to Hoffer he was writing about Gore back in the late 1967. It should be noted Hoffer did not view himself as an intellectual and defined intellectuals as scribes of no worth. People who have not and never will possess an original thought within their lifetime. An angry, disgruntled sort more suited to small engine repair than climatology and sociology, as we are today witnessing.

From Hoffer---

Nowhere at present is there such a measureless loathing of their country by educated people as in America. An excellent historian thinks Americans are “the most frightening people in the world,” and a foremost philologist sees America as “the most aggressive power in the world, the greatest threat to peace and to international cooperation.” Others call America a “pig heaven,” “a monster with 200 million heads,” “a cancer on the body of mankind.”

Novelists, playwrights, poets, essayists and philosophers depict America as the land of the dead. It is a country where sensitive souls are starved and flayed, where nothing nourishes and everything hurts. Nowhere, they say, is there such a boring monotony of aim, and monotony of outlook on the world. One American writer says, “America is no place for an artist. A corn-fed hog enjoys a better life than a creative artist.” One she intellectual maintains that “the quality of American life is an insult to the possibilities of human growth.”

It is hard to believe that this savage and revulsion derives from specific experiences with persons and places. What is there in America that prevents an educated person from shaping his life, from making the most of his inborn endowments? With all its faults and blemishes, this country gives a man elbow room to do what is nearest to his heart. It is incredible how easy it is here to cut oneself off from the vulgarity, conformity, speciousness and other corrupting influences and infections. For those who want to be left alone to realize their capacities and talents, this is the ideal country.

The trouble is, of course, that the alienated intellectual does not want to be left alone. He wants to be listened to and be taken seriously. He wants to influence affairs, have a hand in making history, and feel important. He is free to speak and write as he pleases, and can probably make himself heard and read more easily than one who would defend America. But he can neither sway elections nor shape policy. Even when his excellence as a writer, artist, scholar, scientist, or educator is generally recognized and rewarded he does not feel himself part of the power structure. In no other country has there been so little liaison between men of words and the men of action who exercise power. The body of intellectuals in America has never been integrated with and congenial to the politicians and businessmen who make things happen. Indeed, the uniqueness of modern America derives in no small part from the fact that America has kept intellectuals away from power and paid very little attention to their political views.

The 1960s have made it patent that much of the intellectual’s dissent is fueled by a hunger for power. The appearance of potent allies—militant blacks and students—has emboldened the intellectual to come out into the open. He still feels homeless in America, but the spectacle of proud authority, in cities and on campuses, always surrendering before threats of violence is to him a clear indication that middle-class society is about to fall apart, and he is all set to pick up the pieces.

There is no doubt that in our permissive society the intellectual has far more liberty than he can use; and the more his liberty and the less his capacity to make use of it, the louder his clamor for power-power to deprive other people of liberty.

Eric Hoffer, First Things, Last Things, 1967 pp 71-73

I have thought for some time that Al Gore's problem is a deep and abiding bitterness at his country for the sin of not rewarding him by electing him to the office he regarded as his by right. Thus he has set out on a mission to punish those he thinks responsible. Compliance with his goals of reducing carbon dioxide emmissions would seriously cripple, if not totally decimate the economy of the United States. He is aware of that fact and, truth be known, that is his goal.

I also think that John Kerry is suffering from the same malady and would bear close watch for the same type of actions in the future.

And if "Her Highness" is not coronated as planned, you had better watch her subsequent actions also.

These type of peoples feel a sense of entitlement, and when thwarted in their plans, can get vicious.

Just my 2c worth.

I forgot to include Ted Kennedy in my list, but he also fits the template. He was supposed to be next after his brothers, but Chappaquidick got in the way, now he's just bitter and vindictive.

I am from Connecticut where good ole P.T.Barnum was from & close to Bridgeport where he was Mayor.

As P. T. once said there is a sucker born every minute. !!!!

big mouth Gore is sounding a lot like ole P. T. Barnum.

Don't forget before he got on the Global warming bandwagon he invented the Internet.

and got a Nobel Peace Prize, Ole P. T must be laffin, there sure is a sucker born every minute.
