Gore should eat his own wheaties

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,254908,00.html See, people like Al Gore go about all day long, preaching their superiority to everyone else, yet at the same time they live lives of gaudy excess. That Al Gore's choices burn up more than 12 times the energy of the average American home seems not to bother him. The idea of living more modestly seems not to have occurred to him. I have seen many people who claim to be "environmentalists" yet drive around every day of the year in the biggest SUV they can find. Sure, they sometimes need one for outdoor activities, but the point is they buy a huge vehicle, and then can't afford to buy anything else for commuting. Many of these same "environmentalists" live in the middle of nowhere and choose a 2-hour-a-day commute, guaranteeing maximum usage of gasoline (not to mention time) to get to and from work. Al Gore claims he is not the height of hypocrisy because he buys carbon emission tokens. Whatever, he is still pu

Being politically or religiously persecuted for scientific beliefs has a long tradition. He is also not alone, in that there are many people who believe as he do today. Oregon's Governor, like most Democrats and Socialists, don't want the truth or free speech. They want adherence to their point of
From FoxNews: http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,250059,00.html "But the prince was criticized for reserving the entire 62-seat first class section of a jumbo jet for his 20-person entourage on that trip to the U.S. — thereby wasting fuel and causing needless carbon dioxide emissions. Some in the royal household note that other family members travel with only one or two aides on their official trips." Of course. It's okay to be a hypocrite as long as you're on a Mission For The Greater Good. Al Gore drove around his entire 8 years as Vice-President in large limousines. Those who make the argument that he needed that for his "protection" forget that the Pope drives around in a much smaller bullet-proof vehicle. Nancy Pelosi apparently requires a much larger aircraft for her entourage, so why not the Prince of Wales?
