Not long before our nation launched the invasion of Iraq, our longest-serving Senator, Robert Byrd of West Virginia, stood on the Senate floor and said: "This chamber is, for the most part, silent—ominously, dreadfully silent. There is no debate, no discussion, no attempt to lay out for the nation the pros and cons of this particular war. There is nothing. We stand passively mute in the United States Senate."
Why was the Senate silent?
Because Mr. Gore, the Democrats in power want to do what keeps them in power, not what's "right". Perhaps the American public like the way things are going. Ever think of that?
In describing the empty chamber the way he did, Byrd invited a specific version of the same general question millions of us have been asking: "Why do reason, logic and truth seem to play a sharply diminished role in the way America now makes important decisions?" The persistent and sustained reliance on falsehoods as the basis of policy, even in the face of massive and well-understood evidence to the contrary, seems to many Americans to have reached levels that were previously unimaginable.
A large and growing number of Americans are asking out loud: "What has happened to our country?" People are trying to figure out what has gone wrong in our democracy, and how we can fix it.
Well when you come up with an idea to "fix it", I'm all ears Mr. Gore. When Democrats come up with ideas that don't endanger the American public, appease terrorists, raise taxes, involve pork spending, or treat the American public like children, I'll be happy to listen.
To take another example, for the first time in American history, the Executive Branch of our government has not only condoned but actively promoted the treatment of captives in wartime that clearly involves torture, thus overturning a prohibition established by General George Washington during the Revolutionary War.
Here's where you and I are going to disagree severely Mr. Gore. First off, regardless of how these people are treated, they are NOT covered by the Geneva Conventions. First off, they don't wear uniforms. They don't fight for a particular country. They attack civilians. They attack known populated areas. They are trying to find and use WMD's. Shall I go on?
And let's face facts here Mr. Gore, these people want us all dead. You and other liberals are wanting to find out their "feelings" and find out the "root cause" of their "feelings". We want them dead.
The American public wants blood revenge. They kicked us in the nuts on a sunny Tuesday morning and killed 3,000 of your countrymen. People who's only crime was going to work that morning. These people were burned, crushed, leapt, or crashed to their deaths. ALL of them were horrible ways to die. Especially for those trapped above the wreckage. They were trapped for 45 minutes to an hour knowing that they were going to die. You can even hear them scream as the towers collapsed all around them.
So you'll have to excuse us because we aren't bleeding heart fucking lunatics who want them to be treated "fairly". They really ought to feel lucky I wasn't President. I would have given them one chance to hand over Osama and his gang of thugs. When they say "he didn't do it and we won't hand him over", you've sealed your doom. After your announcement that he's not being handed over, your country is a sheet of green glass that will be uninhabitable for the next 10,000 years.
So I think what I'm trying to say is: Fuck you Al Gore. Yeah...that about sums it up for me.
