Soap Box Archives Wherefore Art Thou, Al Gore? With the planet in the throes of record snowfall and record cold temperatures, with the freezing weather threatening the citrus crops in Florida and busting water pipes in Tennessee, with one arctic front after another screaming across the North American continent, with the global warming theory being called into question due to crooked science and the scoundrels who withhold the truth about their research, with the sycophants of global warming needing encouragement in the face of the coldest winter on record for years, where is their stalwart leader? Al Gore, isn't it time for you to come forth and tell us why we should actually believe that man, who can only control the temperature in one building by lighting a fire or turning on an air conditioner, has the ability by carelessness, greed, sloth or any other means to change the temperature of a whole planet? Now in my book, that's downright arrogant, and Al, I truly believe that your little farce will set the environmental movement back by decades. I will be the first to agree that there are a lot of things human beings can do to make the third planet from the sun a better place to live, but only if we stick to the things that are humanly possible and leave the things beyond our control to Almighty God who designed and made it all to start with. I'm all for saving the rain forest, I'm all for making industries stop dumping waste in the streams and rivers, I'm all for cleaning up toxic waste dumps and punishing the guilty parties. I'm all for preserving the national forests and having a limit on how many elk can be harvested and how many game fish you can catch in day, but come on Al, the snail darter? I remember at least one other time when you and your cohorts in the Sierra Club and Greenpeace were conspicuously missing from the national scene. Where was your outcry when a scumbag murderer like Saddam Hussein dumped all that oil in the Persian Gulf and set the wells on fire? Was this not
one of the most flagrant environmental "made caused disasters"
in human history? Where were you? I know California has a water problem that should have been dealt with decades ago, but blame that on the politicians not the good people trying to support their families. I know they love you in Hollywood, Al. I'm sure they even swallow the theory about cow flatulence being a danger to the environment. Now that's funny. But out here in the real world where people actually have to deal with the results of your flawed theory, it ain't so funny. We are the ones who will have to live with cap and trade and all the silly, unnecessary, job-destroying, debacles you and your misguided cohorts want to impose on us. Not to even mention the taxes. You know what, Al? Let's make a deal, we'll both do something to reduce the carbon emissions. I'll put gas catchers on my cows, and you give up your private jet. I'll plant a bunch of trees, and you cut the electric power you use in your mansions by 60%. In fact, if you'll give up the global warming hoax and devote your energies to something that mankind can really do to help the environment, I'd be glad to join you in the effort. God can cool or warm the planet all by Himself; He doesn't need any help from us. What do you think? Pray for our troops, and for our country God Bless America Charlie Daniels
