Woe to You

“Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like whitewashed tombs which indeed appear beautiful outwardly, but inside are full of dead men’s bones and all uncleanness. Even so you outwardly appear righteous to men, but inside you are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness.” (Matthew 23: 27-28).

Algore, More than a Bore

Al Gore should be universally shunned.

Despite being groomed for public office from childhood Gore is in no way a remarkable individual. Al Gore did manage to graduate college but then enlisted as he was eligible for the draft. dropped out of law school. When he was running for President supporters claims he was brilliant and George Bush a dunce. If you pointed out that Bush actually got his 2nd degree, an MBA from Harvard while Gore did not they just refused to believe Gore didn't have a law degree.

Gore served in Viet Nam as a journalist from January 2, 1971 until his Honorable discharge from the Army in May 1971. Gore then attended Vanderbilt University Divinity School from 1971 to 1972 leaving without a degree. After another short stint of journalism Gore attended Vanderbilt University Law School in 1974. Gore did not complete law school either. In 1976 when his father's former seat in the House was about to be vacated Gore ran for and won a seat in the U.S. House of Representatives. Finally Gore found something he could finish, a campaign. He won the next three elections in 1978, 1980, and 1982 twice running unopposed, thanks a lot Tennessee. In 1984 Gore won a seat in the U.S. Senate.

Gore fell backwards into the Vice-Presidency and spent 8 years attending funerals and giving wooden speeches.

As a presidential candidate three different Al Gores showed up for debates with George W Bush. The first Al Gore was a childish cheat, sighing loudly and rolling his eyes when his opponent had the floor. After this pathetic showing Gore was on his best behavior in the second match and came off weak. Consequently he tried to act tough in the third debate leading to a comical moment when he walked up to Bush who looked at Gore and nodded, seeming to say "yes, I'm speaking but I'll be with you in a minute".

Then Al Gore tried to steal the 2000 election. After conceding defeat Gore learned that the race in Florida had been lost by a margin small enough to possibly be overcome. Some dirty tricks in my own Palm Beach County helped where 15,000 Republicans who voted for the GOP Senate candidate who lost statewide didn't vote for Bush, a mathematical anomaly that can only be explained by ballot tampering.
Although Gore failed to overturn the election he and Democrats managed to convince themselves that they were the ones who had an election stolen. Sine then Democrats have stolen the elections in Washington state and the senate election in Minnesota.

Finally, Al Gores latest sin against humanity is his specious Global Warming hoax. Gore has become a multi-millionaire touting junk science, selling carbon credits to serve that junk science. All the while demanding that others live green while he flies on private jets and lives in a home using 10 times the energy of an average family.

In short Gore has undermined Americans confidence in our electoral system, diminished our economy by pushing policies that increase the cost of energy and gotten fat and rich by doing so. Actually Al Gore is both more and less than a bore.
