Leftists Object to Inappropriate Mine Rescue

Leftists Object to Inappropriate Mine Rescue

A Committee composed of Senators Daschle, Clinton, and Feinstein have
announced that the rescue of the Pennsylvania coal miners has been repealed,
and the miners will, by recommendation of the Committee, be placed back in
the mine.

The Senators noted the following violations in the rescue process:

10. Heavy diesel equipment was moved to the rescue site without concern for
possible air pollution.

9. Water was pumped out of the mine without first determining if it was
polluted, or providing an environmentally safe catchment area for the water.

8. Numerous holes were drilled in the ground during the rescue, without first
performing an Environmental Impact study.

7. No effort was made to ensure racial, ethnic, and sexual diversity of the
rescue workers.

6. The Governor of Pennsylvania was heard to "Thank God" during a live
television broadcast of the rescue, violating the separation of church and
state.

5. Several people at this public, government supported, rescue mentioned
praying.

4. The trapped miners did not represent a diversified cross section of
American society.

3. Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, and Hillary Clinton were not given sufficient
time to make speeches at the site.

2. The Senate was not given sufficient time to determine whether or not any
Republican office holder owned stock in the coal company, thus being
responsible for the conspiracy that caused the mine to flood.

And Number 1: No one mentioned that Al Gore invented mine rescues.

"Once a diversified group of miners has been chosen and placed back into the
mine shaft, the holes will be sealed, the water will be returned to the
mine, and the rescue will then be undertaken again, in an environmentally and
politically correct manner", the Committee noted.

    No, killing earthworms was only against God's law under the King James version of the commandment.

    But I hear the rescue team used a higher number of drill bits than allowed by law, and had more rescue equipment on one site than is allowed in the possession of a single rescue team. They also failed to have regular business hours for the rescue effort, and therefore may not have qualified as a "real" rescue, nor did they check the background of the rescuers, or turn in their bound book naming each and every participant who used or posssessed dangerous tools. Moreover, they failed to pay the state use tax on materials expended for their own use rather than for the use of customers. The drill bits are also being examined to see if their talons were politically correct or whether excessive force was used on Mother Earth in drilling through to save the miners. They may also sponsor a class action suit if the air pumped down and breathed by the miners is found to be of unacceptable quality in the investigation to follow.

    Have you noticed that when it is crunch time prayers to God are invoked at public gatherings and no leftist/atheists stand up to complain? They didn't complain about the prayers offered at the mine rescue. From the wreckage of the WTC two huge I beams, 15 feet tall, were removed which were in the perfect shape of the cross. These were stood up at the site and blessed by a priest and prayed over for days. That was government money that paid for that recovery effort and where was Senator Hillary to whine about separation of church and state? Since Madalyn Murray O'Hair got murdered there are no atheists with guts. Hell, she was complaining when Apollo 9, the first persons to go into lunar orbit, read from the book of Genesis on world wide tv from lunar orbit at Christmas. She was a a**hole but she had guts.

    allen --
    The prayers offered at a given disaster site, if any, usually depend upon the beliefs of the victims, the endangered or the bereaved out of respect for those directly involved. It's not a church/state issue at that point, any more than the rituals offered in a hospital room. If they were American Indians, you might see medicine men going through the motions. It's the opposite of a public issue at the stage, it's an individual privacy issue, whether prayers for recovery or last rites.
