The Clinton Legacy

[Ubiquitous]

Here's a report from Reuters that ought to be shocking:

Nobel Peace Prize winner and environmental crusader Al Gore
urged young people on Wednesday to engage in civil disobedience
to stop the construction of coal plants without the ability to
store carbon.

The former U.S. vice president, whose climate change documentary
"An Inconvenient Truth" won an Academy Award, told a philanthropic
meeting in New York City that "the world has lost ground to the
climate crisis."

"If you're a young person looking at the future of this planet
and looking at what is being done right now, and not done, I
believe we have reached the stage where it is time for civil
disobedience to prevent the construction of new coal plants that
do not have carbon capture and sequestration," Gore told the
Clinton Global Initiative gathering to loud applause.

A former vice president of the United States, a man who was both a heartbeat
and a few hundred votes of the most powerful office in the world, is urging
young people to break the law, and he meets with applause from the eminences
of the Clinton Global Initiative. And remember, Gore is still considered an
elder statesman in the Democratic Party, giving a well-received speech at the
Democratic National Convention last month.

But then, isn't this part and parcel of Bill Clinton's legacy? It was Clinton,
after all, who violated the law but stayed in office because his defenders
insisted it was "only about sex." If young people heed Gore's call for "civil
disobedience," the same people will doubtless try to excuse it away by saying
it's "only about global warmism."

It is simply breathtaking to watch the glee and abandon with which
the liberal media and the Angry Left have been attempting to turn
our military victory in Iraq into a second Vietnam quagmire. Too bad
for them, it's failing.

Yeah, it's only about the health and future of the human race and the
plants and animals we rely on for food and survival.

The left isn't obsessed with sex. To the left, sex just _is_. It's the
right which is obsessed, as amply demonstrated by their incessant
yapping about Clinton's sex life despite him being out of office for a
full eight years.
