Al Gore

[hoagiepete]

Anyone else confused by Al Gore selling his TV network to Al Jazeera?

Interesting and refreshing seeing his own allies grilling him. Same response everytime..."I understand why you may think that I'm being hypocritical, but I disagree." Hmmm. How about..."Let me give you 500 million reasons I disagree."

Also, why is Letterman not doing any "Fat Jokes" about Gore. He sure likes to do them on everyone else.

My gosh Al. I see what you're doing with your millions. Wonder what your carbon shadow...er...footprint... is?

Yeah, I mentioned this Al Gore tv deal a week or so back on this forum. Gore pissed off all types of libs who work for his station in San Fran when he did this. Libs are pissed cause apparently this company he sold out to is a big oil company. Funny shit! Gore has done business with a company who televised beheadings. Not only that, this same station he sold out to now has business dealings within the US, a business who is pro-terrorist. And as I mentioned a week or so about about it.....just imagine what Gore would have done had he been handed the keys to the US in 2000. BO is doing it instead now.

It's not confusing at all. Al Gore is and always has been only looking out for his own personal gain. There is nothing humanitarian about Al Gore. That and the fact no one really gives a shit about what Al Gore does or thinks anymore.

Maybe so, but.. I work for AA, and after Katrina, he chartered several planes from American and I volunteered to go on one of them to go to the New Orleans airport to fly people out of there to a safe haven, elsewhere. Not only did he pay for all of that, he even got down on the ramp and helped us unload the tons of bottles of water and other items that he and the rest of us carried up flights of stairs to the people in the airport. He was huffing and puffing like the rest of us and didn't stop until it was all done. This guy, the ex-vice president of the U.S., did that. I was way more than impressed.

[steveo777]

Al Gore has sold out to the Muslims & proven he would sell out America to anyone, friend or foe, when the price is right. Then there is all his profiteering from the global warming film. Fuck Al Gore.....fuck him in the ass!

I hope to never hear his cocksucker warble again, on any subject.

That is noteworthy. By chance was there cameras around to provide a photo op? Also, this is the same person that has admitted that he lied about global warming statistics simply because he was running for office.

No, no cameras, except our own, where we took pictures of ourselves with him. There weren't any secret service people, either. It was just us airline folks and Mr. Gore.

Yeah and to thinik how close he came from being handed the keys to the United States back in 2000.

He's purely about the money, in my opinion. Glenn Beck's company offered to buy it and they flat-out refused the offer. Instead, he sells the network to an anti-American media company who've allowed terrorists who intend to and have harmed America to run their propaganda on their network. That's not to mention that they are practically run by oil-producing interests, something he's supposedly against morally.

In today's world money trumps everything and it seems that the general public has no problem with it.

Al Gore and POT go great together. He's probably having bong hits while I type this, further deluding himself about his "truths".

Old habits die hard. He's an old leftover hippy from the 60's, just like Bill and Hillary are.

Gore is most certainly not anti-American. He just doesn't share your values. There would never have been a war in Iraq if Gore had won the electoral college.

That being said, I can't really defend this, nor do I want to. This is all about the money. It is not, however, a terrorist organization - it's a secular Middle East television network.

[Boomchild]

Yeah, just a television network that helps the radical Muslim's perpetuate their propaganda and lets them spew their crap over the air waves.

And you don't think this is another foot in the door for the religion of peace? Inch by inch they are going to become a much larger part of your's and my lives. Are you in favor of that? I'm sure the hell not! I won't welcome any entity, in any capacity, directly or indirectly, that wants to destroy America, kill and / or rule it's citizens. No way, no how! Sharia law and those who believe in and practice it has no place in America, nor does the propaganda they wish to spread. This "in road" will make us just another tool toward accomplishing their agenda.

Something I read that really made me think. They (Muslims) are in constant battle and agony in their own land. Yet, the want to migrate to America, and impose their laws here, so they can what? Be miserable again? The most scary statistic that I read was that we (Christians), and this includes newly arriving immigrants, legal and unlegal are reproducing 2.1 kids per household. The Muslims are at 8.1. They will breed us out of our own country.

Glad the came on for you, Rick. Anyone who thinks this is not a real danger needs to think again and try and visualize where this path leads. When it becomes overwhelming to both sides you start to see things like genocide. That is scary shit!

[Memorex]

The country is already long on the path to being run by and dominated by "other-than-whites", but just because America began as white doesn't mean that should always be its history. If white people have more kids then America will be mostly white. If it becomes Hispanic or Muslim or Asian or Russian, then that's what it will become. It can become socialist or even communist. That's the ups and downs of a free country. And if that's the choice and direction of the country, then so be it. I don't think the spirit of America is to keep it white. It's to let it be whatever it will be.

And you think this idea is a good one to just let it go?

That is mighty liberal of you, but there WILL BE a price to pay. That price will be FREEDOM, which will be handily lost, once a few more who are so passive on the issue just let it all go which ever way it wants. What does WHITE have to do with it, BTW? Sounds racist to me!

Ha ha. Not racist at all. I'm not saying the country should be white. But when people talk about immigrants, be it Mexican, Muslim, whatever, they are usually talking about non-whites. So maybe I mis-wrote it.

What I am saying is if America became a mostly-Muslim country, so what? Who says America shouldn't be Muslim? America is America because of its lack of definition. Yes, we started as a Christian, white nation. So? Whether I like it or not is not relevant. What is only ever relevant here is what the majority want. And currently the majority is changing the makeup of the country. If the majority doesn't like it, it will change back. That's all I'm saying.

The majority are in several groups:
People who can't or won't see things through
People who won't work
People who expect the government to take care of them
Illegals who have programs in place to take care of them

Within these groups, they voted for the right president to cater to their needs. Frankly, most of them are not a problem. The next president who understands that this is all wrong can take care of most of it.....cut them off and enforce immigration laws and the borders. What will not be an easy fix is if we get overrun by the Muslims and God forbid we don't get too many of them working within our government.

I don't think the issue is a racial one. It's more about this nation being steered away from the principles and freedoms it was founded upon. That is what is relevant. After all, it was these principles and freedoms that people have and still do come to this nation. Without them America will not be the great country it became. We as citizens should see that anything that looks to distort, change or modify the principles and freedoms we have is a great threat. We as citizens should be willing to speak up against such things and be willing to defend it even to the extent of fighting for it. It's that simple. Outside practices, principles, beliefs nor our own government have the right to take these things away from America's citizens.

It's kinda funny that in a country where 78% of the people are white (source: http://hinterlandgazette.com/wp-content ... -in-us.gif )

ya'll are focusing on the other 32% as the problem... it's their fault they just happen to be non-whites....


As far as "principles" go... they know no color.. maybe if more of the 78% would vote, Civics would be taught in education again. That would be a good start in reinforcing Founding Principles...


but yea.. its not racial...

People just don't understand that point. As I tell people every four years, "I'll drive you to the polling station, whatever it takes; just exercise your civic responsibility."

Perhaps not widely known but 78% of the Asian vote went to Obama. They are the "other" minority that no one talks about. They are generally the most successful out of all the minority groups and we tend to equate their voting habits with what we expect of people that do well in this country. For whatever reasons, the Republicans simply ignore them and the voting percentages seem to bear out how Asians feel about that.

For the record, the 2012 electorate was 75 percent white, 12.2 percent African-American, 8.4 percent Latino, with 4.5 percent distributed to other ethnicities.

Whites 92 million
Blacks 17 million
Latinos 13 million
"Other" votes 6.5 million

However this time (as compared to 2008) more whites stayed home, while the minorities exercised their rights to a higher level than they did four years prior.
Whether it was Ron Paul supporters boycotting the process or others who would rather not vote at all than support a Mormon; whatever the reasons , Republicans didn't show up at the polls so they really can't blame anyone but themselves for the results.

[Boomchild]

Republicans didn't show up at the polls so they really can't blame anyone but themselves for the results.

And that is one of the big reasons B.O. succeeded in his re-election. It seems to me that they focused on issues with Romney that were less important then our economic issues. While Romney may have not been the very best choice, I feel that he would have been far less damaging to our out of control government. Some will disagree and that is fine. I think those that sat out the election because of these less important issues to the current state of our country was one of the most stupid decisions they could have made. In a sense they felt comfortable increasing the chance of re-electing a president that will almost for certain push this country over a cliff to the point of no return. Something tells me that these folks are going to greatly regret that decision. Most certainly they have no right to bitch and moan now since they helped in the loss of a chance of at least limiting the damage to this nation.

Since spending under Obama has gone DOWN since the Bush administration, please enumerate non-military specific appropriate budget cuts you believe would not halt economic growth.

CLUE #!: The President doesn't have the power to raise taxes or cut spending. No mention of the President in the Constitution.

CLUE #2: Article I, Section 8, Clause 1 of the United States Constitution:

"The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises, to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defence[note 1] and general Welfare of the United States; but all Duties, Imposts and Excises shall be uniform throughout the United States;"


CLUE#3: There hasn't been a budget passed since 2007.

CLUE #4: The Democrats have controlled the Senate since 2007



Had Romney won.. The Democrat led Senate would have blocked any spending cuts in things the Dems hold sacred, just as the Republican led House is currently blocking any spending cuts, and the minority Senate Republicans are seeking a 7 month delay...
