Has Hell Frozen Over?
The worst kept secret this week has finally been revealed. Though no one can provide a good answer as to why, Al Gore has won the Nobel Peace Prize, sharing it with a UN Climate Panel.
The meaningfulness of this award has been in doubt for some time now, as the process has clearly been biased by a severe left-wing political agenda. How else to explain Yasser Arafat and Jimmy Carter winning it in years past. For what? The former was a corrupt terrorist and the latter was an inept, ineffectual president.
So what precisely did Gore do to win this award? He made a political propaganda film, proven to be full of errors. But as the High Priest of the New Religion of Environmentalism, a lack of facts coming out of his mouth doesn't seem to bother the true believers.
It's more than a little ironic though that the same week he won this award, a High Court Judge in Britain declared that the film "violated laws barring the promotion of partisan political views in the classroom", only allowing the film to be shown "on the condition that it is accompanied by guidance notes to balance Gore's 'one-sided' views".
All of this leads me to postulate that had the average person been asked 6 months ago whether Al Gore would win the Nobel Peace Prize, a common response would have been, "sure, when hell freezes over!" I wonder if the devil is busy shoveling this very minute?!?

Robert,
The environment is the new "religion" of our time. Many people have joined the faith and accepted the dogma of the environmental movement and these new "religious" beliefs must never be questioned. If you do so, you will be labeled a heretic. Please try and remember; the truth isn’t important, only the beliefs are important, no matter how inconvenient the truth might be.
I don't even think you need to put "religion" in quotes. It's a complete & utter RELIGION for these folks. What's ironic is how so many of these same people look down upon anyone who is a practicing member of a traditional religion.
What bugs me the most about all of this is the absolute belittling, superior attitude taken by the members of Al Gore's flock. For example, look at former Parks Board member, Andrea Reimer. The other day she was on Christy Clark's show. You can listen to it here, just tuning to 38:00).
Reimer is one of Gore's disciples, having taken his training, thus prepping her to go out and spread the word. This woman, who I voted for by the way but never will again, openly says that anyone who disagrees with her view of global warming is akin to someone denying that smoking causes cancer. Give me a break!
Toward the end of the segment, when callers phoned in, she treated them like naive children who didn't know better. Clark wasn't much better.
Do you notice a similarity between such attitudes and the Federal Liberal views we've had to endure for most of our lives? Big surprise!
