Gore has been involved with the environment since 1976, after joining the United States House of Representatives when he held the "first congressional hearings on the climate change, and co-sponsor[ed] hearings on toxic waste and global warming."[55][56] He continued to speak on the topic throughout the 1980s[57] and was known as one of the Atari Democrats, later called the "Democrats' Greens, politicians who see issues like clean air, clean water and global warming as the key to future victories for their party."[30][58]
Mr. Belling, STFU.
As a point of comparison...
So Mr. Belling, STFU. Again.
Wikipedia does have historian's working for them.
:-)
I'll repeat, I think you've huffed just a bit too much of that silver spray paint. Our juveniles in the juvenile probation department always told us that you got a better buzz off of the silver paint. Is that true? All I know is that after huffing for a while, our huffers had the cognition and mental ability of a chair . . . you remind me of them in SO many ways! LOL!
Like I said, keep 'em coming, squawks, but really, lay off the silver paint. Once those brain cells are gone, they don't come back.
You're funny.
Your hatred of Obama is based upon the ridiculous "us v. them" game that has been passing as conservatism for the past 20 years or so. It's not conservatism, it's pure unpatriotic bullsh*t.
Carry on, squawks, and keep the idiocy coming. It's GREAT material for laughter on a busy day! I just have to make sure I don't have liquid in my mouth when I read them.
The responses to him are hilarious, and I love that he has a little thing about you, bintx ;-)
Why should I continue talking to someone who somehow thinks flying first class is populist?
(I'm only responding to this because it's the only decipherable dependent clause anywhere in the comment.)
Well, that's just gross. He does this while people WATCH? I would divorce him too. I hope the pilot cleaned the plane afterwards.
Hey Seatard, did you do all of that on purpose, too?
You sit is a steaming pile of your own ignorance and envy.
He does not profit from his stance on global warming in any way shape or form no matter how loud your wingnuts screech.
Algore manufactures and produces the product he sells. Can you spot the difference?
Really, this is all just verbal diarrhea being flung at a wall until something sticks.
But I am willing to deny my hometown if it means being associated with Mark Belling (he's a twit).
Go figure.
He would flat out SAY that Gore is some sorta terrorist who was responsible for the BP oil spill. ...And probably the Gaza incident.
...and 9/11.
This is unfortunately what happens (it's even tragic), when we allow persons and personalities to become injected into what are otherwise purely arguments or discussions about policy, about issues...
We are then drawn off from the policy discussion (in this case about the environmental impact of fossil fuel emissions and about the regulation and reduction of them), drawn off by personal attacks, and then drawn off still further into the inevitable defenses against those attacks...
All of which is nothing but distraction and deflection from the policy issue itself, which serves those who are trying to scuttle or confuse our efforts toward regulation and reduction, which is why they did it and do it in the first place, which is why they make personal attacks in the first place, to distract from and otherwise confuse the policy discussion and issue.
The cult of personality: I'm not only not in it, I hate it, it's a bane to what we do and are trying to do, I'd just as soon have every last one of our elected and appointed representatives be as anonymous as possible, as ever be drawn into defending them personally, drawn into doing that and in the process being distracted from the issue itself, from the actual work of discussing policy, in this case from discussing (again) the environmental impact of fossil fuel emissions and the regulation and reduction thereof.
It's not about Al Gore, and nothing can be ever said to make me waste even a moment's time defending him, or for that matter waste time listening to personal attacks against him, as I would much rather keep taking my turn in the matter by invoking the policy issue itself, again and again (and now for the third time in just this post), namely, the environmental impact of fossil fuel emissions, and the regulation and reduction of them.
Unfortunately, it works.
And the invention you speak of is only twenty years old, it was only twenty years ago when the public airwaves were deregulated (w/o Congressional approval) to the extent where personal attacks no longer required REPLY TIME and the broadcasting of political opinions no longer required EQUAL TIME...
And this unilateral act of deregulation also coinciding with the consolidation of corporate ownership of radio broadcasters in America (consolidating them from dozens of separately owned companies to just a couple), and made both radio and television into the non-stop private political tool that it is today.
rush limbaugh's fame and national career was born just twenty years ago, and his now many younger brothers (like beck and savage and hannity et al) were likewise born by the same act of public airwaves FCC deregulation (w/o Congressional approval), they were likewise invented by the same act as rush limbaugh was, just not at the same time.
And just as it has steadily gotten worse, it will continue to get worse, much worse, until our Congress gets on the ball and brings back EQUAL TIME in the broadcasting of political opinions on the public's airwaves, and REPLY TIME in the broadcasting of personal attacks, like the one cited here in this item.

Once again, the theory has been tested time and again and found to be valid: You can in fact fool some of the people all of the time.
Yeah, I remember at least one.
You, um, you still remember that one, seahag? Hmm? Kinda, maybe ringin' a bell with you?
Doo-de-doo, this isn't English, moving on...
None. Every attempted terrorist attack under the Obama administration has been foiled. Go away, you're dumb, your mother is your sister.
You're a dumba**.
**Since Katrina
You said "8 years", not "7 years and 4 months".
There were four planes that hit the ground, three hitting major landmarks. While they were orchestrated, I would call that three terrorist attacks. Three different places.
Your credibility is hitting negative regions, seahawk. I actually would have a thoughtful conversation with BJF before a beer with you.
Soze, you'll have to forgive Seahags -- he was only a year old at the time . . .
Really, give up the silver paint. As I said, after a while you have the cognition and mental acuity of a chair. It may be too late for you. Once those brain cells are destroyed, they don't come back.
Dana "too much cappuccino" Perino, is that you?
OK, let's recap:
AL GORE
- Vietnam veteran
- BA from Harvard
- US Congressman
- US Senator
- VPOTUS
- Nobel Laureate
Not bad for "hick politician", eh? Your turn, Mr. Belling . . .
