Former U.S. Vice President Al Gore warned hundreds of U.N. diplomats and staff on Thursday evening about the perils of climate change, claiming: Cigarette smoking is a "significant contributor to global warming!" Gore, who was introduced by Secretary-General Kofi Annan, said the world faces a "full-scale climate emergency that threatens the future of civilization on earth." Gore showed computer-generated projections of ocean water rushing in to submerge the San Francisco Bay Area, New York City, parts of China, India and other nations, should ice shelves in Antarctica or Greenland melt and slip into the sea. "The planet itself will do nicely, thank you very much what is at risk is human civilization," Gore said. After a series of Q& A with the audience, which had little to do with global warming and more about his political future, Annan bid "adios" to Gore. Then, Gore had his staff opened a stack of cardboard boxes to begin selling his new book, "An Inconvenient Truth, The Planetary Emergency of Global Warming and What We Can Do About It," $19.95, to the U.N. diplomats.
LOL...you said Algore. Heh heh heh...RATbot-extraordinaire, may he live long and prosper...MUD
Question Conventional Wisdom!!
You are a dittohead. Why do you feel the necessity to copy cat phrases oxyrush says.
Sure, I listen to Rush...but what phrases am I copycatting?
Question Conventional Wisdom!!
Algore instead of Al Gore
I notice you've paid up for access to the 'special stuff' on his site. How could anyone be that dumb, I wonder, or maybe it was a freebee.
RUSH: Some more quotes from President Bush. We didn't have the audio of this, but when he was campaigning for the Republican governor down in Alabama, he said, "Democrats can't have it both ways. Either they believe that Iraq is a distraction from the war on terror, or they agree with the intelligence community [the NIE] and the terrorists themselves that the outcome of Iraq is important in the war on terror," and they do want it both ways on a number of things. "Truth is, the Democrats are using the NIE to mislead the American people and justify their policy of withdrawal from Iraq." (story) He even singled out some statements by Jane Harman, the Democrat on the House intelligence committee and Jay Rockefeller of West Virginia. "Referring to Harman, Bush said: 'She said, "The president says that fighting them there makes it less likely we'll have to fight them here. The opposite is true."' She went on to say, "Because we are fighting them there, it may become more likely that we'll have to fight them here.' "Harman made those remarks at the beginning of the week, following reports that the National Intelligence Estimate. Challenging her assessment, Bush said, 'History tells us that logic is false. We didn't create terrorism by fighting terrorism. Iraq is not the reason why the terrorists are at war with us.'" Now, this woman actually believes it. This woman believes we're provoking them. This is the feminization of American foreign policy. She's the ranking member of the House intelligence committee, the ranking Democrat, and Rockefeller is the ranking Democrat on the Senate intelligence committee! She believes, she actually believes this -- and it angers poor guys like Nick in Daytona, Florida -- and they're hoisted up and portrayed as the smartest among us, the true elites, the people that have the ability to seen beyond the obvious -- and it's just dangerous. What life experiences must you have to believe that after terrorism strikes for 20 years on Americans in this country and around the world, that going to Iraq is making them even madder? And it's manifesting itself, as I have pointed out, in bizarre fashion. They're blowing up the Pentagon. They're blowing up the World Trade Center. They're blowing up subways and train stations in Madrid. They're blowing up subways in London. They want to blow up ten more airliners flying across the Atlantic enroute to the United States. They blow up and start trashing property after some cartoons in Dutch newspapers of "the prophet" Mohammed. After the pope utters a few words, they go bonkers! Today they're still saying -- the news is -- the Muslim street is still seething over pope's comment. So the whole point apparently is, "We cannot make these people mad." What is special about these people? I'm going to tell you what it is that's special about these people. They have shown that they are brutal, murderous cutthroats, and the conflict resolution types don't want to deal with those people because they don't know how. So the solution is: "Just don't agitate them, don't irritate them." It's as though their grievances are being given credibility! It's as though their actions -- killing nuns, blowing up churches and synagogues, murdering people -- are also given credibility. It's almost as though we're justified. "Yeah, well, you know, they're mad. People are saying some horrible things." This is not a chicken-or-egg thing, folks. Who started this? Who is it that practices terrorism? We do not. Western societies and civilizations do not. They do. They even kill themselves! So you've got people like Jane Harman saying, "Well, because we're in Iraq, that means they're going to come fight us here." They have 4,000 dead. Notice how little news that made. Four thousand "foreign insurgents dead" by their own admission. That's probably low. They don't have time to come here! That place, Iraq, is acting like flypaper, exactly as it was thought it would -- and these people, we're being told are on the verge of winning back the House and winning back the Senate and they're going to take the White House, and when they do, they're going to get out. They're going to cut-and-run and they're going to give these people the biggest victory they've had yet -- and if we pull out, and if they win, and we pull out, they're going to follow us! They're going to try to get on board the military transports and hijack them on the way home. They are going to be more emboldened than they already are. You don't think they're sitting around wherever they are laughing themselves silly at how cowardly the rest of the world is behaving toward them? Why can't we bomb their mosques? Why can't we go kill them where they are? Why do we have to wait for every one of these things to happen, and then people say, :"Well, you know, it's a causal reality of life in the Twenty-First Century. We gotta find a way to co-exist with terrorism," just like the liberals told us we had to find a way to co-exist with the communists. I mean, the quotes, folks, are the same. You go back and listen what Jimmy Carter was saying or any of these Democrats in the 1970s or eighties or the fifties or sixties about Soviet communism. It's not new who they are; it's not new who their policies are. They are appeasers. They are cut-and-run, and they blame America first. This is absurd to sit here and have to read these words of Jane Harman, the ranking Democrat on the House intelligence committee. Don't tell me there's not a different between men and women. There may not be much of a difference between liberal men and women because the liberal women have so emasculated their men that they're all the same bunch of people now. BREAK TRANSCRIPT RUSH: Let me try to put this Jane Harman business and all the Democrats and their comments into a deeper context, if I may, and I'll focus on Jane Harman's comments because they're the most recently discussed. There was a time when ambitious, sleazy politicians could say one thing to Audience A and the opposite thing to Audience B because nobody outside Audience A would hear what was said and nobody used Audience B would hear what was said. But cheap political tactics are no longer local or regional or even national. We are in the age of the Internet, the World Wide Web. I have to wonder: does Jane Harman or Nancy Pelosi or Harry Reid or Jack Murtha or any of our other demagogues on the left, do they realize that their words reach millions, tens of millions of people in the blink of an eye, and that includes kooks, fanatics, America haters and terrorists? When we in this country hear talk of a new generation of jihadists, I wonder if the NIE report covered the Internet, al-Jazeera and the 2006 election season. Does the NIE worry about what we're giving away on the Internet, what our demagogues are doing and saying without even the need for television that can stoke the fire of the furnace of ambition for our enemies? How many of the new generation signed on because of Howard Dean and "America Can't Win," or John Kerry "in the dead of night," or Dick Durbin's quote on Nazis and Club Gitmo and Soviet gulags and so forth? How many people around the world hate America because of what they are hearing from Dick Durbin and John Kerry and Pelosi and Murtha? They don't even have to hear it. All they gotta do is read it -- and it's there within seconds after they say it all over the world on the Internet. It used to be that if Durbin made the kind of speech he made on the Senate floor, it might be reported back in his district. It certainly wouldn't have made the Walter Cronkite evening news, because it would have been too inflammatory. They didn't want to do damage to Democrats -- and even if it had made the evening news, that's where it would have died because there was nowhere else for it to reverberate or to be responded to! But now this stuff -- this irresponsible, anti-American drivel that they utter on a daily basis -- goes out all over the world. Even an incident like Abu Ghraib is a factor in the age of the Internet. Did the media report it, or overkill it? Did they inform our side or inflame their side? It was ostensibly done to "inform the American people. The American people have a right to know." Well, what the hell did it tell the rest of the world? This is not a diatribe against the Internet. Can't stop that. It is a plea for responsibility for a bunch of gum flappers who haven't the slightest concern, apparently, for how their own words are damaging their own country and their own country's objective. There is a reason why we say they appear to be invested in sabotaging the victory over this enemy, because everything they say and do is encouraging the other side -- and I could give you countless other examples. Pelosi and Schumer and Murtha using old-fashioned demagoguery and cheap shots in the age of the Internet on the World Wide Web, they are encouraging and promoting and increasing the ambition of the enemy -- and it's a serious thing, and that's why I get livid when I see what Jane Harman says, because it's stupid.
