Is it just me?
Or does it seem a bit ironic that the conservative group Competitive Enterprise Institute in today's Tennessean compares former Vice-President Al Gore's Climate Project, in the words of the director of energy and global warming policy Myron Ebell, to:
"the missionaries sent out to Christianize the world in the 19th century...The former vice president is so convinced that he is the chosen one to save theIs that like how God told President Bush that he was chosen to be president?
world."
"Bush believes he was called by God to lead the nation at this time, says Commerce Secretary Don Evans, a close friend who talks with Bush every day."Until the Republican Party seperates itself from the Conservative Christian wing, I don't think conservative organizations like CEI should be using fanatical Christian movements to describe their opposition. Not to mention the fact that Al Gore is preaching ... GASP ... conservation. Oh the irony of it all.

We would appreciate it if you would follow the lead of most mainstream media in ignoring our blatant hypocrisy.

CEI appears to be more of a Libertarian-Conservative organization. They likely worship the free-market (Mammon) above all. They realize that if the religious nuts truly took over, it would be bad for business too.
