DRUGS, GLOBAL WARMING AND THE FAIRNESS DOCTRINE

"Though I've belted you and flayed you,
By the livin' Gawd that made you,
You’re a better man than I am, Gunga Din!"


The promoters of the concert this weekend, “Live Earth” are hoping to reach two billion people with their global warming message. I personally don’t blame humans for all the problems of the world and especially not for climate change, real or imagined. I couldn’t tell you what Al Gore’s agenda is, though I have a pretty good idea, be that as it may, he seems to have found plenty of allies in the entertainment industry and a majority of the media.

Al Gore’s son was arrested when he was stopped for speeding, going 100 MPH on a freeway around Los Angeles. He also had marijuana, as well as valium, xanax, vicodin, adderall and soma, all prescription drugs he didn’t have a prescription for. The article about the arrest starts this way;

“The 24-year-old son of former Vice President Al Gore was arrested for drug possession on Wednesday after he was stopped for speeding in his hybrid Toyota Prius”- Reuters

Well, at least he was driving a hybrid and although he may have been speeding at 100 MPH and couldn’t have cared less about who he might have endangered with his reckless behavior, he was still aware of the environment and global warming. This is well pointed out in the next part of the article;

“Al Gore III -- whose father is a leading advocate of policies to fight global warming -- was driving his environmentally friendly car at about 100 miles per hour on a freeway south of Los Angeles when he was pulled over by an Orange County sheriff's deputy at about 2:15 a.m.”- Reuters

The story continues and tries to make excuses for the junior Gore;

“In 1989, aged six, Gore almost died when he was hit by a car, and required extensive surgery and physical therapy.”- Reuters

Hmmm, might explain the need for the prescription drugs but not having a prescription for them might be a small problem. Remember the problem Rush Limbaugh had? And he had a prescription for his.

Finally, the article comes to a merciful end, but not before pointing out this little tidbit;

“A spokesman for the elder Gore said he was traveling and could not immediately be reached for comment. The one-time presidential candidate is one of the organizers of the Live Earth concerts taking place around the world on July 7. The concerts are designed to raise awareness of global warming.”- Reuters

Perhaps Al senior should have been watching little Al junior in 1989 and he would never have been run over. Maybe he was too busy inventing the internet. Now, Al senior is out trying to make political hay with his fictitious global warming crap while his druggy son is endangering the lives of innocent Americans. Would it have been wiser for the elder Gore to have paid more attention to his personal life instead of trying to tell the rest of us how to live ours?

The media will whitewash this as it does everything else for the left. This is a perfect example of why we do not need a fairness doctrine. There is balance in the media and unless you are deaf, dumb and blind, to argue that government should be the arbiter to decide where that balance should lie, is merely opening a Pandora’s box of regulations that will eventually end free speech.

And in the end, I am sure Al Gore senior is very proud of his son for being an example for the young people of America; he was driving a Prius.
