The world according to Gore

Watching Al Gore make the rounds on the TV talk shows these days is absolutely painful.
Gore’s bloated appearance makes him look like a younger version of Teddy “Bullfrog” Kennedy. Actually, Gore more resembles a marshmallow than a bullfrog, but you get the picture. I know that’s not nice, but when was politics ever nice!
Having suddenly become the poster boy of the liberal Holly-wood left, Al Gore was a shoo-in for winning an Academy Award for his science fiction, “An Inconvenient Truth.” The Oscar was supposed to give him instant celebrity and, thus, credi-bility. As Fred Owens said (WCN May 2): “There they were, Gore and DiCaprio, the two leading experts in the na-tion, warning us about the com-ing end of the world as we know it.”
This is scaring little children, but that doesn’t seem to concern most educators as Al Gore and “renowned climate-change scien-tists” trained individuals and educators on how to best indoctrinate students with his theories and proposed solutions for global warming.
Aside from the captive audience of unsuspecting school children, however, the credibility part has been a bit more difficult than the celebrity part.
Those who chose him for the Academy Award now are considering bestowing upon him their blessings in another presidential run. Only this time around, the cool ones would treat him like one of the in-crowd instead of like the nerd he was during the last presidential race.
One of the first things that had to happen to maintain his credibility was, now that global warming seems in doubt, he has become, instead of the global warming activist, he now is the “climate change” activist.
Indeed, according to washingtonpost.com, “Gore has undergone a series of life-changing experiences since his school years … Young Gore learned to adapt within the confines of a disciplined life, a structure im-posed on him by his parents and teachers, and against which he rarely rebelled.” Now, he obliges the Hollywood elite. He's proud to be accepted by them and most eager to please.

What's happening in Washingon is abominable

AND IT’S NOT ABOUT BUSH AND IT IS NOT BUSH’S WAR!

What is going on in Washington is abominable! Our troops are being hung out to dry, and America is going to be left vulnerable to attack right here at home. When this happens, it will be of no satisfaction to say to the Dems, “I told you so.”

And, it will be too late.

"Listening to the messages of al-Qaida's leaders, you understand that they
see their old defeats in very personal and contemporary terms. They are in a
'long war' against us -- even if we don't know it! And it's their intention to WIN."
-- Fred Thompson

THERE’S PLENTY OF EVIDENCE OUT THERE THAT THIS IS ONLY TOO TRUE! If only people would take their heads out of the sand, quit watching television, get beyond the mainstream misinformation. Talk to the troops. Read something other than the most popular TIMES newspapers.

Pray for Peace and God Bless America!

Gun laws should be revisited

Perhaps if our gun laws were different, the Virginia Tech massacre might not have happened as it did. While there were some who speculated that Virginia laws made buying guns too easy. I disagree. The system has failed; not because gun laws were too relaxed but because gun laws are too screwed up. What if, rather than banning guns, guns would be allowed to properly licensed persons. What if, instead of making campus "gun-free" zones, you allowed teachers and properly trained students to carry concealed weapons?
It would ahe been entirely possible that the brave Israeli professor wouldl lhae been able to stolp the funman before the other 30 students were shot. If you consider how out of touch this sad, sick person was, he did not need an easy way to get guns. He spent a lot of time planning this, and it's doubtful any silly gun laws would have stopped him.
However, I do see a real need for guns. If the brave Israeli professor would have been allowed to have carried a concealed weapon, he might still be alive. Perhaps he would have been able to kill the shooter before the other 31 students were slaughtered.

Bill and Hill meet Obama at the polls

What has many bumfuzzled is that Ms. Hillary, the one-time clear front runner whom many assumed would, in fact, become the first woman president of the United States, is no longer clearly a front-runner. It’s a wide-open race for the 2008 presidential campaigns. So said one political analyst last week in referring to Sen. Hillary Clinton’s recent plunge at the polls.

It’s not scientific, but I have a theory about Hillary. First of all, the campaign doesn’t mean much to the voting public. (Yawn.)

Secondly, what is causing at least some of Hill's headaches and heartaches? (Besides Bill, that is?) It is my theory that Ms. Clinton’s troubles have something to do with Ms. Pelosi.

How could that be, you ask? Nancy Pelosi is the speaker of the house. But, she also has appointed herself the unofficial international representative of women everywhere, an impromptu ambassador de jour.

She has gone too quickly from being America’s Homecoming Queen to trying to bring peace to the world. Her overtures seem out of place, coming as they did, so soon after she left the kitchen.

Perhaps her goodwill world tour would have looked better if she had given some time to first getting her own House in order before spending time in the House of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.

At any rate, what does all this globetrotting have to do with Bill and Hill? Well, I think it has something to do with the fact that the American public might be getting these two women confused. It’s nothing intentional, of course, but here we have two sharply dressed, independent women who are extremely proud of their motherhood.

One is America’s Homecoming Queen and the other America’s Mom.

Or course, Ms. Pelosi is not running for president. She is merely telling the president how he should be doing his job. When the president did not listen after she told him the voters demanded he change his Iraq policy, boy did she show him! She just got on a plane and went over there to talk to those people. Now that’s a go-getter.

Perhaps it is that go-to attitude that scares people. If Nan will do this as she was just elected speaker of the house, what would Hill do if she were actually elected president?

This “listen, Buster, I’m talking to you” attitude in Ms. Pelosi might have voters worried about the other mother in the campaign.

This could leave the door open for Obama. It’s wait and see until November 2008. -

Not another Clinton!

"The Mouth," James Carville, predicts Al Gore will run again in 2008. At least that will guarantee an interesting primary campaign.

Carville also puts his money on former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee as a long shot for the Republican presidential nomination in '08 because "he's a little like President Clinton. Carville is "impressed with this guy’s political skills.”

That's a little frightening -- no, a LOT frightening. Has this country really come down to electing someone based on the political skills rather than their philosophy, experience, and policy recommendations? Sadly, the answer is yes, but I'm not sure the country is ready for another Clinton -- or another president from Arkansas.

America is not what she used to be

We watched an old movie tonight about the Japanese attack on Wake Island. These GIs were tough and knew they had a mission. I couldn't help but feel for our own soldiers now in the Middle East in harms way. I pray they don't know what is going on in Congress and in the national media. But, I fear they do know. This is not a good time for America.

But, can she sing?

The talk shows were having a good time today playing the recording of Democrat New York Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton singing off-key.

Frankly, that would not bother me a twit if I thought she were the better candidate. In fact, if I thought she would make a good president, I wouldn't care if she couldn't spell potato either!

It's working!

Did you hear the news? There were more than insurgents killed in weekend fights in Iraq! This is a new development. Yes, it is with great sadness that we acknowledge more American deaths. That is sad. That is war.
