Yes, I agree, and Mr. Gore would make an excellent sacrifice. Do you have a volcano in mind?

Perhaps Brokaw could tell us how he is sacrificing...He who is likely living more largely than most of us.

PS - I still think it would have been fun to see Olbermann replace Russert. He would have to have Republicans on his show, can you imagine the look on his face when a guest actually said "Keith, I disagree with you."

Gore should be behind bars, not behind a desk in Washington. The man's manipulting the media and spreading ignorance for his own fame and fortune. He's a mountebank, a charlatan, a joke. Grow a long beard, Al. Then don a robe and walk along 42nd St. with a sign touting the end of the world. That's where you belong, you creep!

NEVER, NEVRER trust a"liberal"

at the three money losing "major media networks" start spending less I might consider it. Until they change their hypocritical ways I have no interest in what they say. They travel at their whim to promote "global warming" while turning a blind eye to any evidence to the contrary.

Great, another loser, algore, who wants to try and kill general aviation. I am sure another tax sounds like a great idea to him, he would just pass it on to one of his phony companies. Those of us who have small aircraft would feel a real burden with yet another tax.

algore's explaination of how his house only uses "green energy" was laughable. To think brokaw bought it...of course there was not an iota of challenge to anything algore stated.

It's actually quite good ... Better to sacrifice the polar bear than to be sacrificed to the polar bear.

These sanctimonious snob arrogant liberals are not willing to sacrifice anything. 10,000 square foot houses, airplanes and multiple limos, where is the sacrifice? Is the carbon free world going to include an exception for jet fuel, or will battery technology be used for planes as well.

Do as I say, not as I do.

I still haven't gotten an answer about who pays the carbon tax for all the forest fires, agricultural fires and clear cut fires that burn worldwide on a daily basis. Go to http://firefly.geog.... to see what's on fire today. You will be amazed.

How very Marxist of him!  One of the essential differences between Marxism and "free people making free choices" is that we are motivated by self-interest, whereas the Marxist ruling elite demands self-sacrifice from the proletariat.  Big difference.

The real reason the rich want the rest to sacrifice is so the rich in this country will not run out of energy, so they can be confortable in their 20,000+ sq foot homes/condos/penthouses, consuming 10-50 times the average Joe consumes and of course this includes extra fuel for their:

• private jets
• 4th and 5th homes around the world
• 150+ foot yachts
• heated swimming pools
• big automobiles/limos
• etc

Al Gore is one of the chief offenders, and lying sack of s..t besides.

Al can't even give up a good steak let alone his addiction to oil.  When he can fly across the Atlantic on solar power, I'll maybe start thinking about alternative energy.  Until then, I'll enjoy my steaks just like Al.

I really wish the mainstream media would just report what's out there, and stop towing the line.

Anyone see this?  It's HUGE.  Major scientist changes his view on CO2's relevance.

What a love fest!

Run for the hills from anyone talking about sacrifices, for they plan on doing the collections on all the sacrifices made out of your hide.

So Al, this sounds like a good idea to you, right?

BROKAW: Should there be a surcharge on jet fuel, cost for private aviation, which is expanding exponentially in this country, and it leaves a very large carbon footprint?

VICE PRES. GORE: Fine by me. Sounds like a good idea.

Then why is it not a part of your plan you are trying to push on 300 million others in this great land of ours? Will you actually propose it?

Oh, perhaps I forgot - with all electric/battery run private jets, ten years from now - it won't be an issue.

PS - Hey Al, is your Japenese hot tub in your luxury apartment penthouse suite in San Francisco solar heated?

Is Al registered as a lobbiest? 

Limited Disclosure:  I used to belong to the Sierra Club untill they went crazier. Worse of all, I was bribed by Exxon with free New Orleans Saints glasses with fill ups in the 70's.

It has a windmill strapped to the fuselage. Al says the windmill makes his jet "green". I think he did the same thing to his house, cuz he now says his house uses "green" energy, even though it equals the usage of 250 average homes' electricity...I guess it's ok if you're using the right color energy...hahaha

At $ 4 a gallon Gas, the Sacrifice is over....we're looking for Al...he'd better not show up at an Exxon Station filling up his SUV ... he might get Cold Cocked.

Meanwhile, at the CHINA Olympics, all those Coca Cola bottles / Cans being Opened, and Guess what...A Giant CO2 (carbonated beverage) release will suddenly engulf the Planet...!!!  STOP THE OLYMPICS...CO2 CO2 CO2  !....STOP CocaCola Pepsi from the Carbonated Release of 500 Metric Tons of CO2....Don't pull that Tab !!  Don't Twist that Top !!!  Danger, CO2 !!

The Republican Revolution will not be Televised

As I watched Meet The Press, all I could think was "miss you Tim." Now the show will devolve into a televised DailyKos.

This falls right in line of what we were talking about in the other thread. These people want to lower our standard of living and make life even harder for the working class. Oil rations are right around the corner.

...as he seems unwilling to admit that many forces on the left want to force us all (except for the enlightened "progressives") to return to the 18th century lifestyle wise.

Literally.

The truth is insensitive. - Neal Boortz

Al Gore needs to conserve on oil, but it looks like it might be corn oil he's talking about, considering the size of his waistband.

Thats all we need, one more rich blowhard telling us WE need to conserve, all the time living in that mansion and flying around in his private jets.  I am way past fed up with this loser.

There are a great many products made from petroleum that have nothing to do with fuel, and our lives would be much poorer without them.  Plastics would be the most obvious example.  How many medical products are made with plastic?  And that's just one category.  If any politicians were stupid enough to try to implement Algore's delusion, the people would rebel in short order.

When you put the clowns in charge, don't be surprised when a circus breaks out.

All this BS talk of "sacrifice", aside from the obvious hypocrisy, is even if sacrifices were even warranted. How much do we sacrifice? How do we know we have "saved the environment" or stopped "global warming"? How much sacrifice will it take? How much money? Will the "sacrifice" be effective? Or will there be more harm to the environment, our economy? How much time will it take? Will the U.S. become a 3rd world sh**hole? The libs are great at the bombastic alarmist claptrap but are very very short on solutions and real answers. To me "saving the planet" or "mother earth" is just new age BS, feel good "spirituality" and the extension of 60's nonsense. It is the height of arrogance believing that we are more powerful than the natural forces of this planet, climate and the sun.
