Have Liberals Ever Contributed? Hunt Doesn't Think So

SEE HERE I was looking into the American Thinker piece of August 31st on American Thinker (SEE HERE) which critiques the Obama presidency six months in, and that brought up the question of "Who is Geoffrey P. Hunt?" the author of the piece. Apparently there is an attribution running around the net that it is this guy (SEE BIO) but he's got a clear disclaimer at the bottom of his bio. I did a short piece on the failed presidency article back about two week ago (SEE HERE) and in any case this is a long preface to what is just a note of applause for another of Geoffrey P. Hunt's articles, whoever he is.

In this one, which you can find by clicking on the first 'SEE HERE' or right now, he makes the point that the critics on the left have never created anything that works. I don't know whether that is true or not, but it feels right in my experience. The really far out lefties are just professional whiners. They tend to all feel like really great people that have been unfairly ignored (sort of diamonds in the rough) and that means of course that they could run things much better than the other people, that is the people who are actually making positive contributions.

I tend to be inherently distrustful of such blanket claims. Surely some liberal has contributed something of note. Perhaps someone will send me the short list of great contributions by card carrying liberals. I'd be happy to put it up on the brambles here. Meanwhile I'm puzzling over both what examples might apply and the question of "Who is Geoffrey P. Hunt?" ...

So naturally after I finished the above I did a google search on liberal contributions and got SEE HERE which I thought was pretty amusing since it is a list of liberal contributions and when you see it you'll notice that it is almost entirely made up of giving people's money away or creating regulatory bureaucracies. That was too funny not to go back and post. Maggie Thatcher said or is said to have said:"The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money." Looking at the list of liberal "contributions" you can see that they are contributing other people's money. That only works until you have beggared the productive, which seems to be a process well underway. See you in the coming bread lines when the Obama hyper inflation finally sets in ... From a site my wife likes to frequent, the Navy Conservative Moms, (SEE HERE) come a few other great quotes.
