Al Gore: Repeal the Patriot Act
Like lots of other people, I’m finding myself wishing Al Gore had talked more like this during the 2000 presidential campaign. But in all honesty, I don’t think he’d be talking like this even now if he were actually running for the nomination. Funny, isn’t it? In order to speak the truth, he has to be (to some degree, at least) beyond caring what we think about what he says. And since he feels that way, and speaks the truth, we love him (well, for certain values of “we” and “love”).
Anyway, check it out: Freedom and security. I especially encourage those on the Right who consider themselves patriotic Americans to check it out. Ignore, if you can, the person making the case, and just consider the case itself. Some things are bigger than Republican versus Democrat. I think this is one of them.
