BETWEEN THE LINES:
The world according to Gore
by Joseph Farah
There are at least a thousand good reasons not to vote for Al Gore for president. During the last two weeks of the campaign, I'm going to try to itemize and explain a few of the bigger ones.
Today I'll going to focus on just one.
He's an irrational religious zealot.
That's the only way you can really understand and explain Gore's wacko, counter-productive environmentalism. He's a prophet of a new religion. Actually, it's just a new spin on an old religion -- paganism, nature-worship, whatever you want to call it.
Read his book, "Earth in the Balance," and you will quickly agree that Gore is a Chicken Little preaching death and destruction unless we all get behind him as the leader of a new worldwide sect determined to make saving the planet "the central organizing principle for civilization."
Gore still claims to be a nominal Christian, but his own words betray that lie.
"The prevailing ideology of belief in prehistoric Europe and much of the world was based on the worship of a single earth goddess, who was assumed to be the fount of all life and who radiated harmony among all living things," he writes. "The last vestige of organized goddess worship was eliminated by Christianity as late as the 15th century in Lithuania ... it seems obvious that a better understanding of (goddess worship) could offer us new insights into the nature of our human experience."
Oh yeah? It doesn't seem the least bit obvious to me. And I doubt it seems that obvious to the majority of Americans in this country, despite the current propaganda to this effect being widely disseminated in government schools.
What does seem obvious in Gore's book is that he believes in goddess worship -- believes it's a better and more legitimate spiritual belief system than Christianity.
What also seems obvious is that Gore does not even consider the possibility that the Constitution might prohibit him from promoting paganism as the official state religion of the U.S. Why should he? He has never before given the Constitution and its strict limits on the federal government a moment's thought.
Instead, he explains quite candidly that he would use state power to force upon American consumers some draconian rules and regulations sure to change all our lifestyles for the worse.
"I support new laws to mandate improvements in automobile fleet mileage, but much more is needed," he writes. "Within the context of the SEI (Strategic Environment Initiative), it ought to be possible to establish a coordinated global program to accomplish the strategic goal of completely eliminating the internal combustion engine over, say, a 25-year period."
Still not convinced this man is one coconut short of a pina colada? Check this out.
He actually can't decide which has more intrinsic value -- the life of a human being or the life of a tree.
"The Pacific Yew can be cut down and processed to produce a potent chemical, taxol, which offers some promise of curing certain forms of lung, breast and ovarian cancer in patients who would otherwise quickly die," he writes. "It seems an easy choice -- sacrifice the tree for a human life -- until one learns that three trees must be destroyed for each patient treated."
I don't know about you, Al, but it still seems like an easy choice to me.
And, dear American people, I know I haven't made an endorsement in this race. I don't plan to, and I know that bothers many of you out there in Internet-land. But I have told you over and over again that Al Gore is unfit for the presidency. I'm afraid it is even worse than that. I am actually beginning to question this man's sanity.
What Al Gore is talking about with regard to the environment is bigger and far more dangerous than even Hillary Clinton's health-care takeover. In fact, Gore makes the Clintons look downright non-ideological by comparison. They look like political moderates next to Gore. Well, at least Bill does.
If elected president, I'm certain Al Gore won't be satisfied using the few powers actually assigned by the Constitution to the executive branch. Instead, I believe, he will turn the presidency into a kind of neo-paganistic ayatollah-like system of oppression from which this country will never recover.
Nobody's perfect, you say? Al Gore is. He's perfectly wrong for America.
