Former Vice President Al Gore has been tape-recorded telling a conference of young people in Washington, D.C., just before President Barack Obama's inauguration that they know more than their parents.
The story appeared via Glenn Beck's television show on the Fox News Channel, where he had Caitlin Glenn and her father, Andy, discussing the speech today. A video of the program segment was posted on Beck's The Hope For America website.
On the tape, Gore states: "When I was your age and the civil rights revolution was unfolding, and we kids asked our parents and their generation, 'Explain to me again why it's okay for the law to officially discriminate against people because of their skin color?'
"And when our parents' generation couldn't answer that question, that's when the law started to change. There are some things about our world that you know that older people don't know," he continued....
Don't you think you are taking his words a little out of context? I am 40 years old and there is much wisdom I gain from my parents,...but they don't know everything.
As he says, 'most parents usually try to tell their kids the right thing...and parents know a lot and you can gain from them.'
I have to admit though, I think him using that example to push his ideas upon unsuspecting children, comparing prejudice to global warming, is a stretch.
Trust no man and in all your getting get understanding.

I am nowhere like Gore because Gore is insane and psychotic for stating that minors should not listen to their parents. Whereas I believe that minors are required to listen to their parents because minors do not have any rights whatsoever. And I do not feel excluded from Evangelical Protestant Churches. The worship service that I attended one time at my brother's Non Denominational Evangelical Protestant Church I thought was interesting. I have nothing against Evangelical Protestant Churches. But after being raised Catholic I am more comfortable with the liturgical worship service.

When I get married and have children they are going to toe the mark and remain silent when I tell them to or else they will receive a whipping with a leather strap. I am not going to stand for any disrespect from my children when I have children.
Bill Clinton and Al Gore, we can thank God, He only had one of them over us. I don't know Robert with all the hot air that Al puts out, it could cause global warming.
