My favorite line is "The only real difference between Harold Camping and Al Gore, is that Harold Camping believes what he’s saying"

This is well worth the read

End of the World

Thumbs up to Daniel Greenfield on this one

Religious fundies are conservative.

Al Gore is not a conservative.

Lame comparison.

But Gore is such an embarrassment, I doubt the Libs want to claim him anymore either!

"Of course no one expects MSNBC to do sneering reports of global warming activists freezing at a protest"

An op-ed where the writer doesn't know the difference between a weather change and climate change. It's to be expected. Al Gore relied on science and Harold Camping relied on calculations from a fairytale. There is no comparison. Stop allowing yourself to be pimped by oil companies.

This is a GREAT article. Captures exactly what the Al Gore Green Movement is all about. Thanks so much for sharing this. I have copied it and sent cc's to some friends.

Too many good quotes to choose from, but here's one from your link:

"Liberals and the religion and the apocalypse"
"If liberals have turned to doomsday predictions, it’s because they have discovered that religion and the apocalypse can be a marvelously effective way of controlling human behavior. But their religion is materialistic, concerned with the human presence in the natural world. Even its materialism is consumeristic. The Reds had no truck with environmentalism. To a Communist, the natural world was a mass of raw resources to be used to build socialism. But to the children of the capitalists, concerned more with what they buy, than with what they do, environmentalism restraints and directs their buying habits. As religions goes, environmentalism is the Consumer Reports of theologies."

Strange thing is NEITHER did the global warming believers... the "climate change" is only something more recent when "global warming" proved to be wrong... call what you will, its still the same OLD scam...
