The Left Is Already Exploiting Japan's Tragedy: Never Let a Good Crisis Go to Waste

The Left, as ever, seems more interested in scoring political points and using a crisis to serve their agenda than actually helping people. The crisis in Japan continues to unfold but already there have been declarations that we are witnessing “the end of the nuclear era” because of problems with Japan’s nuclear plants. And yes, they are already calling it Japan’s Chernobyl, and trying to score political points as the people of Japan suffer.

Looking past the obvious hyperbole, how many coal miners die every year? How many people have died because of natural gas explosions or explosions at oil refineries around the world? Japan just faced its largest earthquake in modern history. How about we help the people of Japan first and quit trying to advance a political agenda? Is there no crisis that you will not exploit?
