Preety sure czar would not be the title do you know where czar came from?

- Todd Charske

Yes, I agree !  And I was also thinking that he might not be able to afford the fuel for his jet which he flys around in all over the place too!  What a tremendously HUGE joke HE is !  Someone should be brave enough to walk up to him at a “book signing” and ask him why the rules that he tries to force on others do not apply to himself!  I also have had a very strong feeling that all the global warming nonesene that he has been preaching for years has been mostly about playing his part to secretly help to destroy Capitalism; and I have always refused to swallow his crap sandwich !

Diane,

Apparently, McCain was more than willing to consume Gore’s crap sandwich, which is one of the many reasons I didn’t vote for him. Why he doesn’t just go over to the Democrat Party, I’ll never know.
The way he conducted his pathetic campaign, I would have to believe that had he edged out Obama, McCain would ask for a recount. If it was determined that he indeed won, he would probably have to be dragged INTO the White House kicking and screaming.

The hypocrisy of phonies such as Algore will never be put under the spotlight because as a card-carrying Liberal, he’s got the MSM in his pocket.

Gee, I wonder if a massive conflict of interest had anything to do with his decision??

To make matters worse, Carpetbagger Al won’t even let the average Joe buy shares in his alternative energy company. He’s reserving the windfall for his cronies.

Interesting how we’ve already accepted terms like CZAR for US gov’t positions.

BTW, where does the gov’t get all that money from (other than taxpayers)? BANKS, perhaps?? Or do they just print as needed?

Banker as victim – how about some Florida swampland?

Anybody that doesn’t believe human-caused pollution (and and ever-growing population) is (or is capable of) destroying the environment – - and, anybody that doesn’t believe that the toxic particulate and gaseous matter spewing from smokestacks and motor vehicle exhausts worldwide isn’t a significant contributor to this destruction – - clearly have nothing but empty space between their ears.

As usual, extremist ideologues typically attack the messenger when, whether correct or incorrect, they simply don’t like the message.  I’ve never been a fan of Al Gore’s, but worldwide pollution is definitely a problem and it will get worse as the population continues its current rate of explosive expansion.

However, it will take an effort by ALL countries to solve the problem – not just the U.S. and/or the top few developed nations.

Gore is just another wealthy promoter like any number of other wealthy promoters (probably more GOPs than DEMs) who have something to sell.

TK,

I guess anyone who disagrees with your apparent left-wing views are labeled “extremist ideologues”.
The reference to the con game that Gore has been playing on us for the past 15 years had to do with man-made global warming, not pollution. What sane citizen would be for pollution?

If you want to believe in this tripe concerning man-made global warming, and are okay with Gore’s hypocrisy concerning this matter, you’re free to do so. But please, stop with the insults on those of us who are not taking the bait.
Do what I do, and save the insults for those in power, who should never have been in power; for instance, the two privileged idiots, Bush and Gore.

pizcaj, Post 7;

My “apparent left-wing views” are all in your mind.

I have never cared for Al Gore – nor even his father before him.  And, I could care less what he says or does in his post-political life.

If you don’t think the world’s population explosion and the increases in airborne pollution aren’t fouling the atmosphere – with atmospheric-related results – such as possible global-warming and changes in global weather patterns – then, I think, you’re probably just spouting anti-Gore, anti-Democrat, anti-Liberal ideology.  However, I sure can’t figure out how being against pollution becomes a politicized issue.

Think what you will.

TK – “My “apparent left-wing views” are all in your mind”

No, TK, I would say that they are all in your numerous posts in this forum.

You gave yourself away when you insulted all of those, as being ‘empty-headed’, who disagree with the unproven theory of man-made global warming from a fraudulent, extreme-left Democrat such as Algore; A person who claims he invented the Internet.
Even though, in post #8, you mentioned the phrase “possible global-warming”, the fact that I discount man-made global warming as fiction, automatically marginalizes me as simply being anti-Gore, anti-Liberal, etc., without any thought on my part, on the topic itself. By the way, I’ve never heard you label Liberals in this forum as being anti-Conservative, or anti-Republican.

Even though Gore and other Liberals are for raising the minimum wage, and banning smoking in public places, I am also for that. However, to depict the unproven connection between world pollution and global warming as virtually factual, as the MSM have done, and in essence killing the debate and marginalizing those who disagree as simply being politically contrarious, does raise my suspicion on possible clandestine motives of those messengers involved.

pixcaj, Post 9;

Apparently, anyone who doesn’t perfectly agree with you or your perspective is “left-wing”.  In the real-world, I am far from “left-wing”.
My points are simple: (1.) the increasing world population and the increasing amount of world pollution are significant problems; (2.) someone would have to be a nut not to agree that pollution should be reduced; (3.) someone would have to be a nut not to agree that, if global warming is occurring, man’s fouling of the atmosphere is probably a significant factor; (4.) whether global warming is occurring or not, all mankind should be participating in an effort to reduce the fouling of the atmosphere we breathe and the clean water we depend on; (5.) people who advocate for the reduced pollution of our planet and its resources are admirable in their quest and their advocacy; (6.) anyone who politicizes the issues of “atmospheric pollution”, and the possible “global warming” that may result, is just simply arbitrarily, capriciously and ideologically contrarian!

And, I sure haven’t come across any posts here that I would call “liberal” – but my gripe is and always has been – NOT “liberal” nor “conservative” nor “Democrat” nor “Republican” – but, rather, POLITICAL (and social and cultural) EXTREMISM of ALL stripes!  I am as anti- the extremist lefty loons as I am anti- the extremist righty rockheads!

I believe extreme, unvarnished, ideological political, social and cultural partisanship between so-called “liberals” and “conservatives” over the last dozen to fifteen years has caused extreme harm to the well-being of this country!

Likewise, I believe if Al Gore’s efforts bring about an effective reduction of worldwide atmospheric pollution without unintended consequences, WE ALL WIN!

And, likewise, if the U.S. has a successful and effective President, regardless of party or perspective, WE ALL WIN!

And, for your information, I did NOT vote for Clinton-Gore in 1992 or 1996 – and I did not vote for Gore-Lieberman in 2000.

TK – “Apparently, anyone who doesn’t perfectly agree with you or your perspective is “left-wing”.  In the real-world, I am far from “left-wing”

Well, lets see what you have in common with the far-left TK.

You had no problem, in another thread, with a possible Obama tax increase, reasoning that it’s only going to be 3% increase. (as if we’re not paying enough taxes already.) I don’t know of any Conservatives, Moderate Republicans, or even Neo-cons who are okay with having their taxes go up.

The only politicians and fellow posters in this forum that you castigate are those from the Right.

You defend John Kerry’s seditious testimony based on the findings of the discredited, anti-American, radical Winter Soldier Investigation. Testimony in which Kerry accused the U.S. military of committing war crimes “on a day-to-day basis with the full awareness of officers at all levels of command.” And that our soldiers “randomly shot at civilians, razed villages in fashion reminiscent of Ghengis Khan”.
I guess the fact that none of the soldiers cited by Kerry in his testimony agreed to sign affidavits, plus the fact that several ‘veterans’ whom Kerry based his testimony on were found out to be impostors doesn’t seem to matter as far as you’re concerned. It would, for sure as hell, matter to me if say, a Democrat organization were falsely accused in a similar manner by operatives from the Right. But I guess when one wants to believe something to be true, facts don’t matter.

You’re diatribes concerning Bush’s past alcoholism never seems to include Bill Clinton’s and Obama’s former cocaine use. I guess it’s that Republican/Democrat double-standard at play again.

Your stated concern over Governer Palin’s ‘inexperience’ to be second in command, when it doesn’t seem to matter to you that an equally inexperienced Democrat is about to be first in command.

On a final note, TK, – I can’t understand the mentality of someone such as yourself, who doesn’t seem to mind that a politician such as Al Gore who preaches man-made global warming to the rest of us, lives the lavish, energy-consuming lifestyle that he does. Do you look at the man as some kind of king or dictator and yourself a willful servant to him, with those like Gore enjoying a double-standard of living compared to yourself?
Doesn’t an alarm of doubt go off in your mind when you see the hypocrisy of an Al Gore with his “do as I say, not as I do” attitude in regards to ‘man-made global warming’?

The clandestine manner in which you carry yourself in this forum as some sort of ‘middle of the road’ type, is not fooling anyone, TK.
In fact, it’s pretty transparent.

Pizcaj, Post 11:

You can use your labels any way you want.  You can profess your ideology any way you want.  But, the bottom line is – it appears anyone that doesn’t fit into YOUR preconceived (even if erroneous) political template is “the enemy”.

Obviously, you can convince yourself of anything and, just as obviously, you’re apparently trapped in your ideology.

I claim NO lemming-like ideology and generally dislike labels -  excepting that I would call myself “Independent”, “Traditionalist” and “Moderate” in all things political.  I am also a true and life-long believer in my religious faith (although I am not the best of practitioners of it), but I resist extremism and extremists in religion, also.

As regards “Conservatism”, excepting for its overly militaristc elements, I can support the political philosophy of Barry Goldwater.  As regards “Liberalism”, I can support the political philosophy of John F. Kennedy.

If I had to become a Democrat or Republican, I would have to be a conservative Democrat or a liberal Republican.

I am totally opposed to the minority extremist lefty loons and San Francisco Values equally to my opposition to the extremist righty rockheads and the political machinations of the Evangelical/Pentecostal Religious Right.  I do believe The Ten Commandments, ecumenical prayer, and belief in a God have a place in schools, courthouses, and public buildings – but NOT as some sort of political litmus test or policy determinant.

And, of course, I do believe freedom of expression exists on this forum – so, Pizzy, stuff your negative labeling, your ideological crutches and your politics of personal destruction.

Veritas vos liberabit.

TK – “so, Pizzy, stuff your negative labeling, your ideological crutches and your politics of personal destruction.”

So, TK, as much as you’re against labeling, I can see that name-calling on your part is acceptable. But then again, those of the far-left, such as yourself, do this on a routine basis whenever someone either disagrees with their views or exposes them as the stealth Marxist that they actually are.

“But, the bottom line is – it appears anyone that doesn’t fit into YOUR preconceived (even if erroneous) political template is “the enemy”.”

You put quotations around the phrase “the enemy”, as if I actually called you an enemy. But, I guess part of that left-wing mindset involves such weapons as slander.

“I claim NO lemming-like ideology and generally dislike labels.”

For someone who generally dislikes labels, you had no problem labeling people who disagree with Al Gore as “extreme ideologues” as stated by you in post #6.

In fact, TK, you yourself match the description of an ideologue in a very obvious way in regards to man-made global warming. This is because you excuse the hypocrisy of Al Gore in not practicing what he preaches. This tells me that you are so beholden to this ideology that you would not mind a theoretical King Gore continuing his high energy consuming lifestyle while the rest of us, yourself included, would happily sacrifice the quality of our lifestyles for His Majesty for the sake of preventing global warming.

In your post #10, you stated, “Apparently, anyone who doesn’t perfectly agree with you or your perspective is “left-wing”.”

I really don’t care whether you believe in Al Gore’s man-made global warming theory or not, and I wouldn’t hold it against you. In fact, my step-father who is almost as conservative as I am, believes in it and I still consider him a Conservative. My problem with you, TK, are the insults you hurl at those who don’t believe in this UNPROVEN THEORY as “empty-headed” and “extreme ideologues”. It’s a tactic typically used by the far-left in order to marginalize opposition and kill the debate.
This was when I realized the particular political perspective you actually came from.

Funny….but before you resorted to the insults you used in post #6, I assumed you as being a Moderate Democrat.

Pizzy, Post 13;

I couldn’t care less about Al Gore.

(And, just for the record: I’ve certainly come across PLENTY of ministers and priests, “men of God”, who failed “to practice what they preached” – however – that HAS NOT caused me to, out-of-hand, reject either the meaning of their message or their message.  On the other hand, you obviously are much more geared to throwing out the baby with the bath water.)

However, in my lifetime, the population of the world has more than doubled – and simple observation over the period verifies that possibly irreversible pollution has been occurring worldwide – that pollution is despoiling the atmosphere and the waters – that the incredible increase in the burning of fossil fuels is obviously the biggest contributor to atmospheric pollution – that the increasing pollution of the world’s waters is often the result of runoff of toxic by-products occurring in the manufacture of petroleum-based products.

The only arguable issue in all this is whether or not the atmospheric pollution in the form of a “haze” or a “smog” is trapping heat to a greater degree than would a perfectly clear atmosphere – IF that is occurring worldwide – and IF that is causing worldwide average temperatures to increase more than they would if the atmosphere was clear.

(And, personally, I didn’t need Al Gore to tell me about the potentialities of all of this; I can recall junior high school science teachers speculating about the very same thing well more than 50 years ago!)

Therefore, I do believe that anyone who DENIES at least the possibility of global warming occurring as a result of increasing atmospheric pollution is – in my opinion – totally empty-headed and a pure ideologue – touting an ideology that is apparently the opposite of whatever they perceive Al Gore’s to be!

And, just for my information, of the following, which do you think is the “UNPROVEN THEORY” – a.) the story of Genesis, or b.) Darwinism?

As I’ve said, I’m a political centrist (and registered Independent) and can and have supported elements of the classical, politically-conservative philosophy of the kind espoused by Barry Goldwater – as well as having support some of the classical, politically-liberal philosophy of the kind espoused by John F. Kennedy.  Personally, I’d say my political perspective was that of an open-minded, non-ideological, reason-and-rationale-oriented – “independent traditionalist”.

However, you can call me anything you want and spout all the doctrinaire, ideological talking points that you can recall.  And, of course, you are also free to be as wrong as possible.

Sayonara.

TK – “Pizzy”

Oh, come now, TK.

Your infantile, name-calling, radical persona is surfacing again. Better be careful; some in this forum might start doubting your claims of being a “Centrist”. After all, a real Centrist wouldn’t resort to such school yard tactics.
The last time I participated in such childish name-calling was, in fact, when I was a child; but then again, most far-lefties are perpetual children.
The absurdity of your identifying yourself as an “independent traditionalist” as part of your con game to camouflage who you really are, in order to infiltrate and cause mischief in this forum, is fooling no one here.

I noticed in your last two posts, that you hadn’t addressed the double-standard that I correctly accused you of having, in regards to the Palin/Obama ‘inexperienced’ matter, and the past vices of Bush/(Clinton-Obama), from my post #11. Wise Move!
I guess I can’t blame you.

What I don’t understand about you radicals, is that you’re always antagonistic and insulting to those who don’t share your ideology, even when things on the political scene are looking good for you. I mean, after all, your man Obama did win the presidency. And who knows, he may even give your fellow America-hating comrade, John Kerry, a Cabinet position and possibly send Hanoi Jane, one of the founders of your cherished Winter Soldier Investigation, to castigate…I mean, entertain our troops in Iraq.

Anyway, I’m getting bored with trading jabs with you, TK. I guess I was expecting too much when I thought you’d have the decency to apologize for insulting those in this forum as having “empty space between their ears”, and of being “extreme ideologues”, just because they reject an unproven theory.
But, then again, the far-left never apologizes.
