I'm on temporary disability/fixed income & still manage to give appx. 20% towards ministry and private help agencies every month; not to mention helping a just released inmate w/ housing,etc. or an unemployed friend w/ groceries and $$$$$.

Al is "it's all about Al" (son shoved aside) ; and we have a right to take a close look at those solicting funds, lobbying our legislators or might even run for office.

Nevertheless, we don't know how much Gore gives away, and thus I don't think we reserve the right to judge him for it.

Get your priorities straight, for not one of us reserves the right to judge anyone. Only God has that power.

then there isn't much difference between him and the so many CEOs that demains multi-million dollar salaries. A free market is OK for Reps and not for Dems?

The issue is hypocrisy: when he rails against the evil corporations but also uses the system to enlarge his wealth it is wrong. Guess how many shares of certain petrol he owns: it’s in the six figures

quote:

Well, no. He isn't raiing against the corporations making a profit. Just their impact upon the environment. That isn't hypocrisy. I think plenty of examples have been provided where Gore might leave a smaller "carbon imprint." Regardless, that has little to do with the criticism leveled at him making a living.

Their negative impact of the environment versus the negative cost to the economy of his proposals is key. The fact that he lives in one of the largest homes in his state and wants others to reduce their lifestyles is hypocrisy.

The fact that he uses false images of a polar bear "stuck" on an ice flow and suggests the poor little thing is doomed is hypocrisy. He is making a living peddling lies, just as the WOF folk do to sheer their sheep. +++

Oh, yes the Roman Catholic Churched lived large selling indulgences. Gore, does the same except he has just changed the name.. Pope Gore I of the Church of the Climate Change.

I have seen absolutely no evidence that the man doesn't believe every word that he says. How is he spending this money? Do you know? I bring this up because I'm discussing global warming in a different thread, and people are arguing that it's better to preserve our economy rather than implementing the changes being promoted by global warming so that we can keep our money and do good things with it. How do you know he doesn't do the same with his money?

If he spends 90% of his money on himself, then I have no right to judge him for what he does. I also spend 90% of my money on myself and only give 10% to charity. If he bought a $90,000 yacht and gave $10,000 to an environmental cause, what would you care about more? And please be honest. You know it's the yacht.

ONLY one week after Live Earth, Al Gore's green credentials slipped while hosting his daughter's wedding in Beverly Hills.

Gore and his guests at the weekend ceremony dined on Chilean sea bass - arguably one of the world's most threatened fish species.

Also known as Patagonian toothfish, the species is under pressure from illegal, unregulated and unreported fishing activities in the Southern Ocean, jeopardising the sustainability of remaining stocks.

JULY 17--If you're looking to book Al Gore for a 75-minute "Environmental Multimedia Lecture," the former vice president will cost you $100,000, plus travel, hotel, security, and per diem expenses. Gore's standard speaker's contract, a copy of which you'll find below, also stipulates that the Democrat's ground transportation be "a sedan, NOT an SUV." Additionally, Gore requests that speech sponsors make every effort to use a hybrid vehicle for his transport.

Let me add that I am discovering an extremely disturbing trend here at the Christianity forum, a trend where people are mocked and ridiculed needlessly. Is that really what God has called you to do? To mock people? Christians are the ones who are supposed to love our neighbors, not mock them like this. Please, people, take a step back and remember that you're a Christian first and an opponent of Al Gore second. Get your priorities straight, for not one of us reserves the right to judge anyone. Only God has that power.
