Al Gore: Another guy who’s not ‘patriotic’ by Obama’s standard

They are doing what is legal. You have a problem with that? For 2013 the laws change and everyone will work within that new structure.

Hypocrite, thee name is Democrat. If Romney had made this decision it would have had them foaming at the mouth, but Gore is just following the law. When Bush did not pay for his Tax Cuts, the Dems howled about they were only for the Rich and he did not pay for them, putting them on the credit card. Obama has now passed his own Tax Cuts for the Wealthy and put them on the credit card. Not one word from the Dems.

I know I criticized Bush for his spendthrift ways and lack of fiscal discipline, and I know other conservatives did as well, but you never hear a Dem leave the plantation and speak the truth about Barry. The closest JDW can get to criticism of Obama is to call him average. JDW had to really grade on the curve to arrive at that!

Finn, just because you are an Barry Believer and sycophant and never criticize him doesn’t mean that others are more ideologically driven than party/President driven. I oppose every GOP that supports wasteful spending. I totally wrote off Richard Shelby, when he was one of the few Dems that supported the Obama Porkulus Bill in 2009, just because Alabama received a payoff. He had before that presented himself as a small gov, low tax, fiscal conservative. He is just a big blowhard, out to get reelected at the expense of the country, he might as well be a Democrat.

The former vice president confirmed the sale Wednesday, saying in a statement that Al-Jazeera shared Current TV’s mission “to give voice to those who are not typically heard; to speak truth to power; to provide independent and diverse points of view; and to tell the stories that no one else is telling.”

Al-Jazeera, owned by the government of Qatar, plans to gradually transform Current into a new channel called Al-Jazeera America by adding five to 10 new U.S. bureaus beyond the five it has now and hiring more journalists.

But there was not widespread dissent from the right. Most on the right were willing to give the guy a blank check and it blew up later. Only AFTER the explosion and the realization that they would look foolish if shown to have supported the policies that led to the explosion did the tune change. That’s how I recall it.

How about this. I can’t prove a negative, no one can. But you can prove a positive point so if there was this widespread criticism of GWB then show me. Show me the groundswell (which means more than a couple of op-eds that represent the 500,000)

Bogus argument. We all know how the leftest have a long term plan to get rid of all guns.

“Here’s the gun grabbers’ slippery-slope agenda, laid out by Nelson T. Shields, founder of Handgun Control Inc.: “We’re going to have to take this one step at a time, and the first step is necessarily — given the political realities — going to be very modest. … Right now, though, we’d be satisfied not with half a loaf but with a slice. Our ultimate goal — total control of handguns in the United States — is going to take time. … The final problem is to make the possession of all handguns and all handgun ammunition — except for the military, police, licensed security guards, licensed sporting clubs and licensed gun collectors — totally illegal” (The New Yorker, July 1976).”

Sort of a mute point as Democrats seem to already know that in increasing numbers…from FiveThiryEight…you to remember Nate don’t you?

“An American child grows up in a married household in the suburbs. What are the chances that his family keeps a gun in their home?

The probability is considerably higher than residents of New York and other big cities might expect: about 40 percent of married households reported having a gun in their home, according to the exit poll conducted during the 2008 presidential election.

But the odds vary significantly based on the political identity of the child’s parents. If they identify as Democratic voters, the chances are only about one in four, or 25 percent, that they have a gun in their home.

As we keep telling you Democrats are smarter they know that the presence of a gun in the home increases the chance that a homicide or suicide in the home will be committed with a firearm and choose to remove the risk.

@Tiberius…”I’d say you need to catch up with the rest of the conversation, JDW, but since you’re incapable of doing so, I won’t bother.”

Thats what I thought…as usual you got nothing.

Dusty @ 4:12 pm

“I make my own decisions just like most sensible people. (The clue here is : SENSIBLE..).”

I am sure you do. But you have written the following:

“Any truth presented is immediately accused of being a misrepresentation or worse, a lie.”

You did not write “What I believe is the truth is immediately accused ….” You just feel that whatever you make a decision to be the truth must actually be the truth. You appear to believe that you must be right. What does that make you? How does “self-righteous” sound to you?

As usual our resident liberal misfit (redundant, I know) JDW has misfired in the logic department (that’s the department he has no knowledge of), and come up with this stupidity:

“As we keep telling you Democrats are smarter they know that the presence of a gun in the home increases the chance that a homicide or suicide in the home will be committed with a firearm and choose to remove the risk.”

Problem is that if you replace the words “gun” and “firearm” with any object; knife, tire iron, bathtub (hat tip to AmVet) or 7-iron, the logic of JDW’s statement remains the same.

Proving once again that it isn’t the weapon, but the person using it improperly that causes the injury or homicide.

But another epic failure as usual, JDW.

@Dusty…”Liberals here use freedom of speech to ridicule, distort, disgrace, sublimate and prevaricate.”

I suppose you, Tiberius, Little Barry, td and the rest are always paragons of good taste and virtue.

JDW

Based on Dusty’s own criteria, words and actions; she and other so called conservatives on this blog are really HUGE LIBERALS.

“I say what I believe to be right and have determined to be true.”

You must have some very low standards on what it takes for you to determine something to be true based on what you post

Just because you believe something does not make it so

Dusty told you JDW

She likes an echo chamber. Anything that doesn’t meet her narrative is not good and she will cry and whine. (She her earlier posts as proof.)

@PR…yes she does like an echo chamber after all… she says what shes believe to be right and has determined to be true…anyone that disagrees must be either lying, ridiculing, distorting, disgracing, sublimating and prevaricating.

Does this mean there is now a Dustyville to go with Tiberiusville?

Dear phony President Romney

Of course I could be wrong when I make decisions. That is true for everybody. Even you!!

But I still like to make my own choices.. Who make yours for you?

Dr. Dre shelters his income through an Irish holding company. Google has $10B in accounts in Bermuda. Gore made $100mm over the past four years acting as a VC investing in clean tech companies that miraculously received Energy Dept. grants or guaranteed loans shortly after the investment. Most of these companies have yet to return a profit to the American taxpayer, yet Gore was able to cash out. Welcome to the new normal. As the WSJ pointed out today, the fiscal cliif tax rates have achieved Obama’s goal of completely rewinding Reagan’s 1986 bipartisan tax reform that simplified the code. We are officially back in Jimmy Carter territory where Washington constantly raises taxes across the board combined with special interest loopholes and tax credits to reward campaign contributors and lobbyists. The bad news is that with all of this complexity and” fair share” payments, the Federal Government revenue is going to go down. Sheila Bair recently pointed out that the income disparity between the rich and the poor is the widest it has been in 40 years. Based on the amount of tax loopholes and pork coming out of the Obama administration, if you make over $1mm per year and pay ANY Federal income tax, you should immediately fire your accountant. You can buy energy tax credits and pay your “fair” share, albeit at a discount, generating a double digit internal rate of return. And just wait, Obama is just getting started.

Good post. And like you said, “the Federal government revenue is going to go down” under Obama leadership. Absolutely. I don’t believe he has any concept of debt or its meaning. Nor do his supporters.

They may dance to the piper but payday is in peril and they don’t know it yet..

The record is clear, even Obama acknowledged in an interview on 60 minutes that increasing rates usually reduce revenue, he said he didn’t care, he was going to do what was “fair”.

Revenue from Capital Gains boomed when Clinton lowered the rate. No familiar with what happened under Reagan.

Aaahhhhh, we’re fixing to find out how much the libs really love the troops -

You ma’am have overstepped a line that is not your domain. I am a Marine Corps Veteran of 8 years, and I will not have some woman who proclaims the evil of an inanimate object, yet carries one, tell me I may not have one.

I am not your subject. I am the man who keeps you free. I am not your servant. I am the person whom you serve. I am not your peasant. I am the flesh and blood of America.

Late to this, but whenever it’s suggested that one side or the other is hypocritical for not unilaterally disarming, I always think that’s a pretty lame argument. Just as I didn’t care if (say) Michelle Bachmann made use of farm subsidies while railing against DC port, I certainly don’t care if a well-out-of-office pol like Al Gore timed a business deal to be more lucrative. Big. Whoop.
