Why do libs like Gore feel it is okay to say we need to cut back on our energy usage if they don't themselves?

Question

Since I at one time directed a recyling program I make sure my purchases ensure I can either recyle the product or have the least waste possible and I encourage others to also that I know. But big Al seems to want me to cut my energy use at home, take a bus to work, etc while he lives the high life flying private planes, energy use 20 times the average homeowner, riding in limos (the last I checked were not green), etc. Except for someone like Ed Begley, Jr who lives his talk on being green the majority of libs in Hollywood and politics have no credibility. Buying carbon offsets is nothing, most of us can not afford to do it to offset out usage and if the danger is so close to 20 foot rise in the oceans, the whole ice pack melting, agricultural land being non-usable due to climate change, and countless animals becoming extinct it seems Gore would want to just show he really does believe this by not owning buying carbon offset but also fully reducing his enery use. TOO much to ask!!

As usual the libs would rather bring up Iraq and 500 other topics rather than answer this.
His usage of energy is a public record not a right wing conspiracy theory. He does not walk the walk and never will just like Leo DeStupid and other libs who want others to cut back and pay for the costs to the ecomony.
From what I remember many Presidents did not have family members in the war they administered or at least anywhere near the front line, So I guess that means unless you have a child in the military you can't run - sorry Hillary your campaign is over. All presidents have the chance they will need to send someone into to battle so that lib logic is so stupid.

I actually do pick my vehicles based on their lower environmental impact, I recycle, I lessen my energy useage but I lead by example not by saying one thing and doing another like the Environmental libs. GORE IS A BLOWHARD ON THIS ISSUE AND ALWAYS HAS BEEN.

To the lib with the comment on my car choice. I never have had or would have a Hummer. My cars for ten years have been in the top 20 of fuel economy. But I would not buy a hybrid because unlike your liberal friends I can't aford the off front costs of one. And I took the bus even when I had a car to not only say fuel but to not contribute to gridlock. The only reason I have to use my car now is my work schedule of 10 hour days does not give me the freedom to take public transportation and place of work is not on a bus line. Its so typical of a lib to think that anyone who disagrees with them is some rich person who knows nothing on the environment. Guess what I was involved in the first earth day here in the US, I did environmental projects for my grade school science projects and I do research on environmental matters - the science your Hero ALGORE says is 100% accurate is not based on the scientific community. Even the UN report disagrees with the level of doom and gloom.

Answer 1

Rich Democrats consider themselves too superior to what they want to force us to do.
They consider us people peasants.

Answer 2

I've been using energy-efficient lightbulbs and equipment for the last 6 years. As a result, my energy bills had been cut by 3/4's of their normal use.

I walk instead of talking the bus when I can. I've never owned a car in my life.

How much MPG does your Hummer get again BTW?

Answer 3

One thing to consider about Gore, he is an ex VP and thus has a staff. That staff uses energy. To compare that to the typical person is not apples to apples. You have a hard on for Gore and that skews your objective analysis. Perhaps Gore has made great strides to reduce his impact, you can't prove he has or has not.
Gore has made the GW issue more common and has brought this issue to the forefront of discussions. Some must lead, others follow and then we always have the trailing whiners. Where are you?

Answer 4

No. they don't sense the experience like we human beings do. that is because of the fact we've a imperative aggravating gadget working with the aid of our vertebra (backbone) which sends messages to our recommendations. this suggests that if if our leg is harm, we sense the soreness on the precise recommendations. on the different hand, the bugs are non-vertebra and that they don't have imperative aggravating gadget. for that reason if an ant's leg is crushed, in basic terms the leg will sense close by soreness. in addition to, their soreness value is short, on account that they produce large style of off springs and their existence is short. they might additionally reproduce their lost organs. that is been mentioned that in case you decrease a cockroach's head, that is going to die after a month by way of ravenous. Scientists have decrease a lobster's leg and feed him, which he ate. it is likewise real that aside from human beings no different animal knows of its existence.

Answer 5

The answer is very simple. Money and power corrupts people. Typically, the more money and power a person has, the more irresponsible, careless and boneheaded they are. They think they can tell others to do things they are unwilling to do. Of course there are exceptions, but Al Gore is not one of them.

Answer 6

I agree with you 100%!
All politicians should be good examples, when they preach to us about rules, and changing the importance for the commonwealth.
I would like to see less air travel and more green travel for most of the VIP government.

Answer 7

Al Gore does live up to what he preaches. You just need to dig beyond the corporate right wing media echo chamber to find out.The Swiftboaters attack on Al Gore after his Academy award for An Inconvenient Truth, is not being done by a "non-partisan, independent" organization. Tennessee Center's President Drew Johnson comes straight out of the right's network, coming from Exxon-funded American Enterprise Institute and the right-wing-funded National Taxpayers Foundation.

If you look at the links at the website for The Tennessee Center for Policy Research, you will find links to only far right leaning organizations like the Competitive Enterprises Institute, the Cato Institute, and The Heritage Foundation to name a few. The TCPR is part of a national network of state-based right-wing organizations in 37 states as well as prominent nationwide right-wing organizations. Through its network SPN advances the public policy ideas of the expansive right-wing political movement on the state and local level

Kalee Kreider, his environmental adviser, told the Guardian that "you can attack the messenger but the message remains the same". She said Mr Gore's fuel bills failed to tell the whole picture. All the energy used for the Nashville home came from a green power provider to the Tennessee Valley that draws its energy from solar, wind-powered and methane gas supplies, among other sources.

The Gores were installing solar panels on the roof of their home, Ms Kreider added, and making efforts to reduce their energy needs. Besides, Mr Gore had adopted a "carbon neutral" life whereby any emissions for which he was personally responsible were offset by buying green credits such as parcels of forests.

"The point about vice-president Gore is that he's devoted 30 years of his life to educating people about global warming. That says something about the man," she said.

Laurie David, the producer of An Inconvenient Truth, said that the furore was only to be expected. A leading global warming campaigner, she is familiar with criticism of this kind having been called a "jetstream liberal" for using private planes. "What this lame attempt to discredit Al Gore tells me is that we are winning. This is comedy at its best - it's straight out of the David Letterman show."

Answer 8

It is Very Simple. The Liberals are the Elite of the People of the Planet. They tell everyone else what to do, and they had better do what ever they want, or YOU WILL BE DESTROYED!
P.S. They are exempt from all such requirements!

Answer 9

maybe he did.. maybe last year he used 4 times as much as what everyone is complaining about now... that would still be a huge cut back... change takes time after all.. and he IS trying to change his house to be more eco-friendly... granted he should have had that done before his movie came out.. but he's working on it.

Answer 10

Why do you think it's OK for Bush and Cheney to send our young men to Iraq when no members of their own families serve there?
