Note To Al Gore put your money where your mouth is or shut up

Yeah that's about it.

Mr. "Are you ready to change the way you live?" or should I say Mr. "I use 20 times more carbon based energy that the average american"

Yesterday Sen. Daniel Inhofe (one of my new heroes) put an interesting question to Al "Oscar Winner" Gore. He asked him to be consistent with his rhetoric.

Of course Gore refused.

What was it that he asked Mr. "the world is melting"...I mean Gore to do? He asked him to take the following pledge.

(link to the Senate press release )


As a believer:
· that human-caused global warming is a moral, ethical, and spiritual issue affecting our survival;
· that home energy use is a key component of overall energy use;
· that reducing my fossil fuel-based home energy usage will lead to lower greenhouse gas emissions; and
· that leaders on moral issues should lead by example;
I pledge to consume no more energy for use in my residence than the average American household by March 21, 2008.”

Does this suprise you? Not me not one bit. Statist socialists like Gore are rarely ever willing to lead by example. The top down imposition of regulations for everyone else is inherent to their view of civil power.

Besides moral consistency is hardly a hallmark of modern socialist politics. Just look at his old boss William Jefferson to see what I mean.

So until Mr. Gore is willing to make the painful cuts at his house. Until he is eager to bring this "moral" issue home to roost he needs to pipe down.

In fact until he signs the pledge I respectfully invite him to sit down and shut up.
