Wisdumb From the Goracle...


Do as I say, not as I do!


Gore’s mansion, located in the posh Belle Meade area of Nashville, consumes more electricity every month than the average American household uses in an entire year, according to the Nashville Electric Service (NES).


In his documentary, the former Vice President calls on Americans to conserve energy by reducing electricity consumption at home.


The average household in America consumes 10,656 kilowatt-hours (kWh) per year, according to the Department of Energy. In 2006, Gore devoured nearly 221,000 kWh—more than 20 times the national average.


The hypocrisy of AlGore knows absolutely no bounds. Apparently, while flying around the world in his jet (carbon footprint here) complaining about the Rumbear's fleet of SUV's, Ole Al left the lights on at the Tennessee mansion.


Surprised? No. After all, this is the same guy who said we need to do more for the poor a few years back (1998) then filed his tax returns showing he earned $198,000.00 and and donated the paltry sum of $353.00 (that's Three Hundred Fifty Three dollars) to charity. But YOU need to do more.


So now his defenders are striking back telling us that the Goracle is just not like you and me. He is SPECIAL! A. C. Kleinheider writes:


Al Gore is not the average American. He comes from power and money and he has achieved power and money in his own right.


Al Gore lives a life different from most folks. I'm not one to defend elitism, not as a matter of practice, but some elitism is inevitable. There must be a leadership class. There always has been and there always will be. Even societies organized around the principle of the equality and preeminence of the proletariat have had an elite class. It is the natural order of things. The key for a society is to create a responsible, responsive and fluid elite.


Could Al Gore do more to be "Green" in his personal life? No doubt. I'm sure we all could. Regardless of your position on global warming, none of the steps greens suggest you take in your personal life are gonna hurt anything. It may be unnecessary but not detrimental.


However, his life and most of ours are not coordinate -- nor need they be.


One man. One disheartened loser of a man. Struggling to find a legacy. If this one man named the Goracle would simply stay home and turn his lights out it would do more to battle GlowBall Warming than 100's of us combined. But no........he is a member of the "...fluid elite...". A leader of the religion known as GlowBall Warming. That's why YOU need to do more.


What a pant load......
