Capitalism Saved the Miners
By DANIEL HENNINGER
OCTOBER 14, 2010
It needs to be said. The rescue of the Chilean miners is a smashing victory for free-market capitalism.
Amid the boundless human joy of the miners' liberation, it may seem churlish to make such a claim. It is churlish. These are churlish times, and the stakes are high.
In the United States, with 9.6% unemployment, a notably angry electorate will go to the polls shortly and dump one political party in favor of the other, on which no love is lost. The president of the U.S. is campaigning across the country making this statement at nearly every stop:
"The basic idea is that if we put our blind faith in the market and we let corporations do whatever they want and we leave everybody else to fend for themselves, then America somehow automatically is going to grow and prosper."
Uh, yeah. That's a caricature of the basic idea, but basically that's right. Ask the miners.

An amazing article (and a huge thumb in the eye to Obama). Love it.

When I started my truck this afternoon the radio was on a station that carries Rush...he must have been reading that when I started up the truck.
Oh, and every DUmmie/Hippie should be required to wear clothes made of this stuff, "Jeffrey Gabbay, the founder of Cupron Inc. in Richmond, Va., supplied socks made with copper fiber that consumed foot bacteria, and minimized odor and infection." ....especially San Fransissyco faggots.
