A delegation of conservative members of Congress paid a visit to the
West Antarctic Ice Sheet melt today to witness firsthand what one of
them called “the most beautiful expression of the free market I’ve ever
seen.”
“Every schoolchild in America needs to see this,” he said. “This is the free market at work in the way that God and Ayn Rand intended.”
Rep. Ryan said that watching the now-unstoppable Ice Sheet melt in
action reaffirmed his belief in “the glory and might of free-market
forces.”
“Now more than ever, I believe that government needs to get out of the way of glaciers,” he said.
Another member of the delegation, Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minnesota), decried what she called the “alarmism” surrounding reports of the collapsing Ice Sheet.
“The Ice Sheet melt is only a problem if you live in Antarctica, which, honestly, is a pretty dumb place to live,” she said. “Polar bears live in Antarctica because they have no choice, but we’re not polar bears.”
