RSSAs Usual, Liberals Take Credit For Things That They Didn’t Do
Carl Andrews | October 28, 2009
A person responding to one of our recent articles taking liberals to task left a comment about all the legislation that would not have occured were it not for liberals.
I suppose the implication being that if it weren’t for the efforts of liberals alone, without any input from conservatives, nothing good would have ever happened in America.
In typical liberal fashion, when called upon to account for some of the heinous acts commited by those on the left, this individual took the usual left-wing tactic of simply ignoring the point of the story and responded with a “Yeah, but what about this?” attitude.
We don’t have the patience to correct all of this person’s misconceptions (and he probably still wouldn’t get it anyway), but ther are a couple of glaring examples we would like to highlight.
This person was attempting to put for the proposition that if it were not for liberals, we would not have safe water to drink or clean air to breathe.
Really?
Ever hear of something called the EPA?
Environmental Protection Agency ring any bells?
If you had called the man who was the brainchild behind the EPA and the one who signed the legislation bringing the agency into existence a liberal, you would have bent sent off to an insane asylum.
Former Republican President Richard Nixon may have been many things, but being a liberal was not one of them.
Is that the only thing that conservatives can take credit for regarding the environment?
Who required that Federal agencies follow the law regarding environmental policy, use renewable energy sources, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions?
That was another man no one in their right mind would label a liberal, George Bush, when in January of 2007 he signed Executive Order 13423.
Another point that this person was trying to make that if it weren’t for liberals America’s labor force would not have a safe work environment.
Fortunately, we have the Occupational Safety and Health Administration.
Who do we have to thank for OSHA?
Once again, if you called the man who signed the legislation that was the birth of OSHA a liberal, Richard Nixon might have punched you in the nose.
We could go on and on with this, but here is the bottom line:
Maybe somewhere out there exists a liberal who, when they read something and they don’t agree with the premise of the article, can actually addres the issues raised in the article.
Rather than respond with something totally off topic.
I’m not holding my breath.
