Al Gore Could Actually Do Good

Perhaps there was a time I felt pity for people who bought into the whole man-made global warming hoax. Warnings the earth was near destruction spewed from the mouth of every member of the traditional media.

But I no longer feel a tinge of sympathy for people afraid their actions are causing the end of the world. There is simply too much information available if you're worried the earth is doomed and you are partially responsible. We now have proof that scientists, who for years insisted man is causing global warming, manipulated data and suppressed dissent. It's gotten so bad for Al Gore and his ilk that they now say with a straight face, "Whatever is falling from the sky outside your window, whatever the current temperature, whatever the five-day forecast; it's all due to man-made global warming."

Now that it's clear Al Gore is a complete fraud, I wonder why liberals don't admonish the former Vice President for failing to use his celebrity to help people they typically champion.

Conning average Americans out of their money to fill his overflowing pockets equals food out of the mouths of hungry children. Think of the good Mr. Gore could have accomplished if he'd spent the last 10-plus years raising money for the underprivileged instead of misleading folks into believing they need to purchase certain products or else the earth will explode.

He's similar to individuals who spend their life scamming and spamming. They run sophisticated operations, yet choose not to use their inherent intelligent to run legitimate businesses. IQ wise, Al Gore is a smart guy. Were he a noble man, he would use his fame to help the downtrodden instead of profiting from middle class American men and women whose trust he gained as a politician.

I'm no fan of Bill Clinton, and he's undoubtedly made a fortune since leaving office, but at least he teamed up with George H.W. Bush to raise money for charity.

Is Mr. Gore's chicanery a result of bitterness over not being elected President? Did he say, "Since I won't reside in the White House for at least four years, I'm going to take everyone's money on false pretenses and use it to buy a plethora of bigger homes! To prove how pathetic the American people are, I'm going to exclusively travel on private aircraft and use a thousand times more energy annually to power my dwellings than the average resident uses in his or her lifetime! To put it in a way even the dolts I rip off could easily understand: I'm going to convince everyone to turn off 80% of their lights while I increase the number I switch on tenfold."?

I don't know how many crimes Mr. Gore has committed, but I seriously doubt he would face prosecution if he came clean, especially if he spent much of the money he's nefariously obtained on meals to occupy plates that would otherwise remain empty.
