Al Gore: “After eight years even our cats and dogs know that elections matter.” “After eight years of incompetence, neglect and failure, we need change,” added Gore
In an email message to supporters prior to endorsing Barack Obama last night in Detroit, Michigan — Nobel Prize Winner and former US Vice-President, Al Gore said:
From now through Election Day, I intend to do whatever I can to make sure he is elected President of the United States.
Over the next four years, we are going to face many difficult challenges — including bringing our troops home from Iraq, fixing our economy, and solving the climate crisis. Barack Obama is clearly the candidate best able to solve these problems and bring change to America.
This moment and this election are too important to let pass without taking action.
That’s why I am asking you to join me in showing your support by making a contribution to this campaign today:
Over the past 18 months, Barack Obama has united a movement. He knows change does not come from 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue or Capitol Hill. It begins when people stand up and take action.
With the help of millions of supporters like you, Barack Obama will bring the change we so desperately need in order to solve our country’s most pressing problems.
If you’ve already contributed to this campaign, I ask that you consider making another contribution right now. If you haven’t, please take the next step and own a piece of this campaign today:
Nobel Peace Prize winner and human rights advocate — Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Mpilo Tutu
When we were struggling in South Africa against the vicious racist policies of apartheid, it was exhilarating to proclaim to our people that our God was encountered first not in the peaceful quiet of a sanctuary. No, our God was out there in the rough and tumble of the politics of the day. Our God revealed Himself in the utterly vulgar world of setting a fractious rabble of slaves free. Our God was/is the great liberator God of the Exodus – the paradigmatic event that helped to define God as the God who is never unbiased, but is always biased in favor of the oppressed, the marginalized, the down and outs.
This God in Jesus Christ continued to demonstrate this bias – Jesus companied not with the high and mighty, Archbishops, Presidents, and such like, but with the scum of society, prostitutes, sinners, the despised. This was the God who had an extraordinary identification with the little people – inasmuch as you have done this(clothed the naked,fed the hungry,etc.) staggeringly you have done it as to God. Wow. Our God did not give good advice from a safe distance. No, our God entered the fiery furnace to be there as Immanuel, God with us in our anguish and agony. Our God was not deaf, but heard our cries, was not blind but saw our suffering and would as of old come down to deliver us from our bondage too, so that we would enjoy the glorious liberty of the children of God.
Jeremiah Wright has said really no more than this which falls squarely in the ambit of black theology, black religion to answer the anguished questions of black people suffering under the brutality of white racism. It ultimately seeks reconciliation, but you cannot be reconciled with one who has his boot on your neck to keep you in the gutter. To be reconciled you must stand up right to look the other in the eye.
Black theology and religion seek the liberation of all, oppressor and oppressed, black and white together – as we accomplished it in South Africa for freedom is indivisible. Whites won’t be truly free until blacks are free. Listen to Condeleeza Rice in the Washington Times. Obama is a person of courageous integrity. He could have ingratiated himself to white Americans by repudiating his pastor completely. He did nothing of the sort. That speaks volumes for the man. America will not find peace with itself until you really deal with your history. You need something like a Truth and Reconciliation Commission to help you come to terms with your past.
Another Jeremiah, the prophet of old shocked his compatriots when Jerusalem was being besieged by the Chaldeans. He urged his compatriots to desert and join the enemy. What price patriotism.
About The Author: Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Mpilo Tutu was awarded the 1984 Nobel Peace Prize for his contribution to the cause of racial justice in South Africa. He served as the first black African archbishop of Cape Town from 1986 to 1996.
Prior to this role as spiritual leader of the Anglican Church in South Africa, Tutu served as General Secretary of the South African Council of Churches from 1978 to 1985. It was in this position that he became an international voice for the anti-apartheid movement and received the Nobel Prize.
In 1995, South African President Nelson Mandela appointed Archbishop Tutu Chair of South Africa’s Truth and Reconciliation Commission, the body set up to investigate human rights violations under that country’s apartheid governments from 1960 to 1994. Tutu retired from in 1996 and was given the honorary title of Archbishop Emeritus.
Since then, Archbishop Tutu served as a visiting professor and scholar at the Candler School of Theology at Emory University in Atlanta, the Episcopal Divinity School in Cambridge, Massachusetts and the University of North Florida in Jacksonville. He has received numerous awards and has authored two books, No Future Without Forgiveness and God has a Dream.
Tutu continues to write, lecture, and travel the world as an advocate of human rights and social justice. He is currently involved with a number of non-profit organizations working for peace and equality, meeting the needs of disadvantaged children and fighting HIV/AIDS.
Former US Vice President — Al Gore JR. Click image to view larger picture Former Vice President Al Gore Jr. was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize today along with a United Nations panel that monitors climate change for their work educating the world about global warming and advocating for political action to stop it.
News of Al Gore’s Nobel Peace Prize was received with delight across Europe, where President Bush is deeply unpopular.
“He’s the evidence that America is still capable of intelligent discourse,” said Peter Kellner, who heads the British polling firm YouGov. According to Kellner, opinion polls show that British people generally admire America and Americans but strongly dislike Bush.
British Prime Minister Gordon Brown called Gore “inspirational,” and European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso said he hoped Gore’s honor would encourage world leaders to “approach this challenge even more swiftly and decisively.”
This award of monumental prestige has breathed just a “whisper of resuscitation” on to the United States, a country in a “negative moral spiral,” in the eyes of the world.
King George Bush and Sheik Osama Bin Laden will go down in history, alongside blood-thirsty maggots like Hitler, Idi Amin and co. — as leaders responsible for unleashing the worst terror on humankind, in the last 100 years.
And both are going to get away with it, it seems!
The United Nations which since inception, has been primarily responsible for the prosecution of crimes against humanity should hold these two responsible in an International Criminal Court, for the commission of large scale atrocities against people of the United States and Iraq.
This is the only way to restore America’s lost moral glory, and re-establish much of the prestige that the number one nation in the world has lost in the last six years, operating under the clamps of a Republican THUG administration.
Al Gore looks scholarly, measured and passionate, while “King George” scoots like a frightened deer running amok — Recklessly spending tax payer money on a “war of lies,” and unleashing terror on immigrants to satisfy his ‘blood-thirsty’ right-wing loons.
As I write, the US Government agency ‘ICE’ in collaboration with local governments of intolerant and racist communities, mostly in southern United States, are in “duck” hunting season — they are unleashing terror on immigrants, causing untold suffering of immigrant families, especially those of “brown skin.”(Latinos)
One-Track minded bigots blinded with Racism and drunk with “Patriotism” are running amok atop pick-up trucks, draped in confederate flags, in the countryside. All because of Bush’s mis-handled domestic policies, catalyzed by the incessant cackling of “jingoistic propangandist extortionist” media pundits pontificating recklessly to the maniacally racist imbeciles in right-wing America — CNN’s self-appointed “populist,” the despicable “distortionist fabricationist,” Lou Dobbs comes to mind.
This bloodthirsty chorus by anti-immigration hate groups, politicians, and a paranoid media echoes in the belly of America with a ferocity that makes immigrants shudder like helpless Negro in 1920’s America.
Every time a Republican president is in power for a prolonged period of time, the “dormant fangs” or racism awaken with a roar that shakes the American psyche to the bone.
The Bush legacy of lies, “water-boarding,” “illegal-combatant torture,” military and police terror, war profiteering, and racist immigrant bashing, is in high gear — revving like a “Confederate Nascar machine.”
Run Al, Run …..to take back what legitimately belongs to you: “The White House.”
To those ReTHUGliMAGGOTS, the “Flat Earth ‘Confederate’ Society,” the “God People” a.k.a American Taliban Inc., the Minuteman plus all other extremists groups in America calling for physical and moral carnage — an overwhelming majority, and science agrees with Al Gore….so shove it!
God didn’t create Global Warming!!
This issue is sewn, sealed and posted at the feet of Al Gore — with 1.5 Million Dollars to boot!
Pay attention, you un-schooled “Bible Drunk” troglodytes, your “convenient lies” and conspiracy theories on Al Gore and Global Warming have been quashed, permanently!
