Yes, another Mattews post. But this is just too great to pass up. Matthews goes on one of those very special rants as he explains why the government is good. His guest … AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka, of course, concurs. Set aside we do not want to eliminate government … try and follow the logic.

Lucky they weren’t UMA members. They would still be arguing about the required environmental impact statement to drill and if they were rescued, would they be entitled to the overtime they spent in the mine.

The Presidente of Chile is center right. He allowed help from all over the world to rescue his people, and didn’t ban mining.

If the miners were tea party members, there would now be a sale on some nifty apartments, some 2000 feet underground, built by the miners to bide the time.

If it weren’t for straw men, the Left would have no men at all.

Is he - Matthews - aware that the breakthrough drilling that succeeded was NOT produced made by the Chilean government, or any U.S. government, but a private U.S. company?

the tea party’s “every-man-for-himself” philosophy

Hobbes believed that prior to society, there is only an endless war for domination: "every man for himself".And, the prevention of that was justification for the establishment of a "leviathan" govenment. He committed the fallacy of false alternatives when he divided the political spectrum into only the two alternatives of statism and anarchy.What he and libtards ignored was the third alternative of limited government circumscribed and subordinated by natural rithts and justice as a golden mean of virtue between the vices of libtard statism and libertarian anarchy. This third alternative is the ethics and politics advocated by the tea party and the founding fathers which will lead to happiness.

Why would they be dead? Were there Democrats running the drill?

Well.....who I really feel sorry and afraid for is that poor, poor Gerbil trapped up in the dark, dank recesses of Little Chrissy's Keester.

As usual, he has it all wrong.

They would be dead, but not for the reasons he states.

What would have happened is that Obummer, the Marxist now posing as a Fascist, would have appointed a czar to form a committee to try to find out how it happened and the best way to prevent it from ever happening again, with a directive to the czar to report back to him in six months with their conclusions.

Oh, I forgot.

And he would have the gestapo bar all civilians from the area, thus barring the fellows who came up with the idea that got these men out two months ahead of the original estimates.
