I don't even know what to think of this
bone-head. In today's post, the writer puts down a whole list of Thomas Jefferson quote's presenting his political prowess and reasoning to statements made by Al Gore in his book "The Assault On Reason".
Jefferson must be rolling over in his grave.
And that is why I have to type this as well as a supporter of Al Gore who is now on my second time reading The Assault On Reason which to me is a Jeffersonian doctrine of our time: Al Gore stated right from the beginning that this book is not a 'candidate' book. It is a serious look in the mirror not only for those in our government who have abandoned reason in exchange for the politics of fear, propaganda, and expediency over the rule of law, but more so for the complicit corporate media that is their accomplice, and even more so for the citizens of this country used by that fear, propaganda, and expediency who on the whole constantly complain about the state of affairs but who never seem to want to get their hands dirty when it comes to truly standing up for it. This book is a primer for them in doing that, and yet I don't get the feeling that is how many see it and that is disappointing to me.
Al Gore is the master of fear mongering and using the media to get what he wants done, as I posted a few days back.
Al Gore says: "Given that starting point, I believe it is appropriate to have an over-representation of factual presentations on how dangerous it is, as a predicate for opening up the audience to listen to what the solutions are, and how hopeful it is that we are going to solve this crisis."
Read this guys blog. He is living proof of one of those people who still think that Gore was robbed of the election in 2000.
He will always be my president, and has been since December 13, 2000. However, as he has stated as well, this is not about him but about all of us, and he has done more for this world as a statesman than any of the cretins that stole this Democracy from us and for that he will have my undying respect because he has done it and continues to do it against all odds with a conscience and moral awareness.
It's a laugh riot!
