Al Gore's movie "An Inconvenient Truth" has some major flaws, the first one of which is that it's perfectly propagandistic. The truth presented is Al Gore's truth, no other human being anywhere on earth who has another truth or even a significant variation of his truth is to be seen anywhere? The Al Gore goofy left may wonder why Fox News is now the most trusted source of news in America when the the answer is obvious, at least to Republicans. Fox always has liberal guests on to balance the generally Republican perspective of the Fox regulars. It gives the unmistakable impression that they trust the audience with the whole truth; not that the audience is regarded as stupid, manipulatable, and therefore can or should be brainwashed to suit Democratic political objectives.
Is the endemic lack of balance in the way Democrats think and present ideas the same lack of balance they would like to be reflected by the gov't? Of course. Despite 200 years of American liberty slipping away to an ever growing Federal Gov't, the scatophagous Democrats still stand for nothing more than an ever growing gov't that would necessarily be the manifestation of a few powerful socialists at the top who would ignore the liberty of everyone else. It is a treasonous concept in a supposedly free Republican county. But it is at the heart and soul of the way the Democrats think and operate.
If you look at left wing web sites you find the same phenomena. By a ratio of about 10 to one (as compared to Republican sites) the content is non democratic or one sided attacks on Republicans, or, even worse, simple personal smears against Republicans. Fear of genuine debate wherein two positions are compared side by side is something Democrats fear above all. They are bigoted true believers who fear the truth above all, but love their egos above all else. From the dawn of human history their collectivist mentality has been the single most significant threat to liberty on earth. The Constitution was designed to protect us from this Democratic mentality.
Al Gore did present one critically interesting fact in the movie though. He mentioned in passing that forest fires contribute 30% of global warming. Other sources, of course not mentioned in the movie, say forest fires contribute as much or more than all other sources combined. If this is the case, the question then becomes: do we listen to Al Gore and the other totalitarian Democrats who want the power to dramatically socialize the entire earth's economies and impoverish the life of every human being on earth in order to limit carbon emissions, or do we want to simply put out forest fires, which by comparison would involve very little and cost next to nothing?
The forest fire control idea is not liked by Democrats, it would seem, because it does not naturally lead to a huge totalitarian expansion of gov't that they would expect to control and orchestrate. There has been no issue on earth since the beginning of human history that Democrats have not used as an excuse for the concentration of political power in their totalitarian hands. Global warming may represent one of their best opportunities ever, but only if the Republican Constitution fails to stand in their way.
There was another interesting lie in "An Inconvenient Truth" which is that limiting carbon emissions to combat warming would create jobs and prosperity. This socialist buffoonery holds that if you have to build new windmills, electr
