Al Gore, Saudi Suckup
It has become clear that Americans lucked out more than they imagined when Al Gore failed in his bid for the Office Of The President Of The United States, because he is clearly unwilling to defend the U.S. Constitution or to uphold the law or even tell the truth. What Gore does instead is sell out the U.S. in the middle of the land of Wahabbism. Unbelievable.
The story prompts these thoughts from Captain's Quarters:
I'm stunned almost to speechlessness. We held mass roundups of Arabs? When? Where? What exactly were the "unforgivable" conditions of which Gore speaks? And as far as the visas go, when exactly did Saudis have a right to enter the United States at whim without any consideration of security? Perhaps the former VP has forgotten, but most of the 9/11 hijackers were Saudis.
In truth, Gore sold out the United States and any notion of freedom by appearing after Denmark got barred from attending an economic forum for the publishing decision of one of its privately-owned newspapers. Just showing up was bad enough. To make accusations about some mythical internment program for Arabs in the US just plays into the hands of the conspiracy-addicted Arabian press.
Thanks, Al. You've gone from a respectable politician to a Saudi suck-up in one of the worst political meltdowns in American history.
...Al Gore could have said this in New York and I would still call it a sell-out and a betrayal of his nation. He spouts the worst conspiracy-theory garbage, without any supporting evidence, which feeds into the propaganda of our enemies. The fact that he did it on stage in Jeddah in a forum which had already booted the Danes for daring to stand up to Islamists only emphasizes the craven and self-involved character of the former VP.
Gore's remarks were cowardly, irresponsible and dangerous lies, outrageously bad form for a former Vice-President. But then Al Gore is not just any former Veep; he's a Bush-hater, which fact alone explains much of the selfish and destructive behaviour in which he so often indulges.
Remember, this fool is considered by his party and its supporters to be an elder statesman, whose patriotism you'd better not question.
