Angels and Algore

How about that revival down in Atlanta? God is answering prayer! And the state which gave us Ahab was rewarded with a 250-mile swath cut by 20 tornadoes from the southwest to the northeast of the state on the Lord’s Day (2 March). Reuters called it “An apocalyptic series of tornadoes.” Yes, the angels of God are taking some action.

Two months prior to the ripping of Clinton’s home state, Vice President Gore, addressing a band of viragos at a NARAL meeting in Fed City on the anniversary of the Roe v. Wade edict, declared unto his august assemblage of feminoids that “Regardless of our views . . . we will not let this issue tear us apart as a country.” The speech came within days after the bombing of death camps in Atlanta and Tulsa. But Algore seemed to be especially sparked into an emotional delivery by the little firecracker that went off outside the Mayflower hotel where he and Hillary were speaking. (Must still be suffering from shell shock from his old days in the Army.)

The country might have been well impressed with the Lincolnesque imagery had Algore been on the right side of the issue. But since he decided to switch sides and join hands with the modern counterpart of the pro-slavers, his speech is expected to fall kind of flat, historically speaking, despite all the histrionics and affectations of passion for justice.

Hamlet-like, he addressed a phantom in the room: “The American people will not tolerate your cowardly crusade[!] . . . we will not let you terrorize America’s women or their doctors” (Dallas Morning News, 23 January, 1997). Yes, he really got that stellar crowd of America’s grandest ladies to cheer wildly when he vowed to catch those responsible for “the horror” of those attacks.

Go get ’em Algore.
