Gore Wins Nobel Peace Prize, Bush Pushes — The War of the Worlds
This editorial made me teary-eyed as it maps out the two different worlds between Gore and Bush

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/brent-budowsky/gore-wins-nobel-peace-pri_b_68260.html

In the George Bush vision, America violates the wisdom of George Washington and commits heinous acts of torture that alienate the decent opinion of the world community.

In the Al Gore vision, America is a beacon of hope and light, George Washington and our commanders through the ages were right, we reject torture and rally the friends of freedom everywhere to our cause, because they know and believe it is the right cause.

In the George Bush vision, the king is the law, the constitution is dispensable, the Bill of Rights is the petty cash of partisan politics, and we become spies against each other.

In the Al Gore vision, the law is the king, the Constitution is a sacred trust, the Bill of Rights is honored as the timeless statement of our freedom and democracy that it is, and we are a nation of fellow citizens who stand side by side, under the rule of law, for the higher purpose of true Americanism.

MUCH MORE AT LINK AND WELL WORTH THE READ!
