AL GORE PERSONIFIES LIBERAL DISLOYALTY TO AMERICA
By Christopher G. Adamo
THE ANTI-AMERICANISM & LACK OF PATRIOTISM OF THE POLITICAL & CULTURAL LEFT IN THE U.S.A. -- AL GORE'S
OUTRAGEOUS & INFLAMATORY REMARKS IN A RECENT SPEECH IN SAUDI ARABIA: A MANIFESTATION OF THE
DISLOYALTY OF AMERICAN LIBERALS
FULL STORY:
In the midst of the heated controversy over Danish cartoons disparaging
Islam, a couple of drawings of a much more inflammatory nature suddenly were
disseminated throughout the Muslim world, adding significant fuel to the
fires of their outrage. These pictures depicted Mohammed in a manner
guaranteed to incite far greater wrath and indignation from those Muslims
already angered by the original cartoons.
Yet, as the situation unfolded on the world scene, it became apparent that no
one from Denmark or elsewhere in Europe was responsible, and that the latter
images were the likely work of Islamists seeking to fully exploit Muslim
hatred of Western Civilization.
Clearly, some who claim to be among the “faithful” are, in reality, willing
to desecrate their own religion in order to manipulate the masses into
action against the infidels. Thus, their true loyalties are revealed to be
far beneath any “holy calling.” Unfortunately, such detestable tactics are
regularly mimicked by the American political and cultural Left.
Al Gore’s recent, outlandish remarks to a Saudi audience, not only represent
his own scorn for the United States of America, but also are reflective of this
country’s Liberal Leftist establishment. In short, the overriding sentiment of the
Left towards America is one of complete contempt. And even a cursory
consideration of past and present statements from prominent Liberals yields
ample supporting evidence for this contention.
Consider the overwhelming similarities between Gore’s remarks and John Kerry’s
infamous 1971 testimony before the U.S. Senate, in which he accused
fellow members of the American military of committing “atrocities” against
innocent Vietnamese. Recently, John Kerry parroted this message once again, this
time substituting as America’s hapless victims the innocent women and
children of Iraq.
And who can forget Senator Dick Durbin (Democrat - Illinois), who compared America’s
treatment of Islamist terrorist prisoners at Guantanamo Bay to practices in Nazi concentration
camps, the Soviet Gulag, and the Cambodian “killing fields” of Pol Pot.
For his own part, Al Gore was content to claim that the United States had
“indiscriminately rounded up” Muslims, who were then ostensibly held in
conditions he described as “unforgivable.”
Though Kerry’s diatribe, along with that of Durbin, was presented in the
halls of Congress, as opposed to Gore’s screed, which was delivered directly
to those most likely to be offended by it, all three provided great
inspiration to the enemies of America who could surely be expected to lash
back in outrage and anger.
It is important to understand that neither Gore, Kerry, nor Durbin is, in
any manner, pro-Muslim. Rather, they are decidedly anti-American, viewing
Muslims merely as the resource presently available to be exploited in
service to their real agenda, which is to give America and its President a black
eye.
Yet, as infuriating as Gore’s latest stunt might be, it certainly represents
nothing surprising or new from either the former Vice-President or his
ideological comrades. If anything, his behavior merely expressed the typical
sentiments of the Left, exemplified, not just by the lies he told, but also
the venue from which he conveyed them.
For more than the past four decades, American Liberals have openly sided
with America's mortal enemies, an attitude and position epitomized by Jane Fonda’s photo-op on that
anti-aircraft gun with the North Vietnamese. And, though, in the immediate
aftermath of 9-11, American Liberals were briefly shocked into facing the
reality that they too were hated targets of militant Islam, their former
outlook and allegiances quickly reemerged.
Within days of the attacks, Liberal members of the “mainstream” media
refused to call those who had perpetrated the attacks “terrorists,”
preferring instead the sanitized term “alleged hijackers.” Not long
afterwards, they began suggesting possible root causes of the hostilities,
the ultimate responsibility for which they heaped upon America.
Throughout the entire war on terror, and even prior to it, those on the Left
have repeatedly downplayed and ignored the viciousness of America’s
attackers. Simultaneously, they grossly magnify or even completely fabricate
“atrocities” ostensibly committed by American military personnel and members
of other governing agencies.
In this, they prove their deep-seated antipathy towards this country, all
that it represents, and all that it has ever represented.
Ultimately, Liberals look at America’s founding, and, more importantly, its
spiritual roots (which were inarguably Judeo-Christian), and see only
reasons for condemnation. Like every institution this side of Heaven,
America was and is less than perfect, so some flaws do indeed exist. And
those on the Left never let us forget it. Thus, their ultimate sympathies
will continually align with those who would destroy the U.S.A.
