At UM commencement, Al Gore urges graduates 'to reclaim the integrity of American democracy'
Baltimore Sun ^ | March 21, 2018 | Scott Dance

Speaking to 2018 graduates at the University of Maryland on Sunday, it wasn’t until 19 minutes into a 22-minute speech that former Vice President Al Gore mentioned President Donald Trump’s name.

But his address nonetheless marked a commencement ceremony that pushed graduates to fight what both Gore and university President Wallace Loh described as challenges to American democracy.

Gore, nowadays best known for his advocacy to fight global warming that earned him a Nobel Prize in 2007, urged the graduates to vote in large numbers in the coming years, suggesting that America’s “experiment” with the Trump administration should, like some scientific ventures, “be terminated early for ethical reasons.”

“Your generation has a mission ahead of it,” Gore said. “I hope that you will find the will to succeed. In America, the will to succeed is, in fact, a renewable resource.”

“terminated early”?

The FBI is totally useless. Is the secret service useless too?

It’s really bad how the “colleges and universities” are having trouble finding AMERICANS to speak at their “commencement” parties.

Haha! That’s pretty funny. Mark Warner spoke at my graduation and put everyone to sleep. :D

Colleges and universities are the only “safe” zones for these people. Working America knows the Algores and Hillarys are frauds.

I was really disappointed that U of M had invited Algore to speak there.

Until I realized, it was not U of Michigan.

It was at U of Maryland. They can have him. :D

…pushed graduates to fight…challenges to American democracy.

Funny, anybody with more than two functioning brain cells knows that is EXACTLY what President Trump is doing. What he really said is "you need to fight for the continued growth and expansion of one world government, the secret deep state cabal and shadow government, the extinction of the traditional US of A, and yielding all your freedoms to Marxism."

Liberals are pathological and project their crimes and faults on others. The Democrats plotted to rig a Presidential election and prevent a duly elected President from exercising his office. Then they urge us all to “reclaim the integrity of American democracy”. Rest assured, most of us want to do just that. However it will require jail time for some of Al Gore’s closest friends and associates.

You mean the integrity of using the intelligence community to spy on your adversaries? That integrity?

Dear Al Gore, not only are we NOT a democracy, but your entire thesis is now being proven wrong.

I won't get into your silly poor Polar Bear scenario, but let you know this is the coldest and wettest spring in my memory. We just had a cold wind-driven rain at 2:20am this 5/21/18 ever in Southern California. I read it is snowing in Colorado.

Spin it how you will - you and your chosen "scientists" are wrong. BTW, where are the Sun spots? Oh, right, you fools don't consider the impact of the big yellow globe in the sky.

Signed, a Gorebullist denier.
