re: Gore   [Cliff May]

I give Gore credit for keeping his speech short and to the point. But the idea, articulated by his worshipful Hollywood supporters, that it somehow takes courage for a member of the political class to ask Americans to cede more power to the political class so they can deal with “the crisis of climate change” is ludicrous.

I haven’t watched the whole show tonight – I can’t bear these rituals of Hollywood self-congratulation and sanctimony, so someone who has managed to sit through it all, please tell me: Has one word been said about the  Islamist movements dedicated to the destruction of the West, the dedicated to restricting artistic freedom and a free press, dedicated to suppressing the most fundamental rights of women and gays — movements that attacked us on several occasions during Al Gore’s tenure in the White House, movements that planned 9/11/01 even as Al Gore was assigned the vital task of focusing on airline security?

Or were those inconvenient truths ignored?
