| Do-Gooders: How Liberals Hurt Those They Claim to Help (and the Rest of Us) by A must read | | Ms Charen offers a well researched argument on how the left, regardless of thier good intentions are destroying America. She examines failed education, social welfare polices and the assualt on traditional values. She shows that liberalism is not compassionate and hurt those who liberals claim to help. A must read. | | Do-Gooders: How Liberals Hurt Those They Claim to Help (and the Rest of Us) by What is Ms Charen Really Looking For? | I can appreciate a person's view (and everyone has a right to free speech), but there are a few items I have read by Mona Charen that I question what her motivations are. She seems to not have much respect for anyone if they are not in total agreement with her views. In fact, she goes out of her way to skew and slant information to her viewpoints.
Of some of the articles I have read from Mona Charen she seems very angry and unhappy. It seems that she is only happy attacking others. It should be okay for people to have viewpoints, but to go out of the way to be venumous in her writings is very unprofessional. It seems more and more commonplace for people to make others wrong, than to work together to make things go right.
The key is we need to find ways to make things better, even if you don't agree 100% with someone's viewpoint, it is important to respect other's views, figure out how to work together, and focus on the good things in people in stead of the one thing that's bad. I can't say much about this book, but I wish Ms Charen the happiness she's looking for. | | Do-Gooders: How Liberals Hurt Those They Claim to Help (and the Rest of Us) by Great book! | | This is one of the best books I've ever read. It really shows what the subtitle says it does. | | Do-Gooders: How Liberals Hurt Those They Claim to Help (and the Rest of Us) by Right wing flap-doodle | | It is always instructive whenever a far right "conservative"less-government-is-good-government apologist has the termerity to tell the rest of us why"liberalism"is "bad"..Mona Charen excuses the fact that there is a hugh gulf between the rich and the poor in this country by whining that ,in effect,it is not the government's job to be anything more than a turnstile for the rich and the corporations..Calvin Coolidge,one of best examples of what was and is wrong with "conservative"thinking,announced that"The business of America is business"and to that end made no effort to control the corporations of his time,had no safety net programs in place,penny-pinched at the expense of the poor while allowing the rich to live off the public dole,and much much more..Ronald Reagen,the most recent incarnation of the Coolidge do-nothing to help anyone who actually needs help philosophy of government,viewed Coolidge as a role model..Reagen's"Trickle down"economic program,historically,never trickled down,and during Reagen's eight years in office the gap between the rich and the poor became acute..Reagen,like most "conservative"thinkers views big government as only being too big when the tax dollars of the wealthy and the corporations are re-distributed,in the form of"entitlements"to the middle class and the poor..Reagan had no such reservations when "big government"bailed out corporations with tax dollars,and no president conservative or otherwise,since reagen,has had much trouble whenever corporations over-charge the government for goods or services..But these "conservatives"foam at the mouth whenever anyone suggests government financed universal healthcare.."BIG GOVERNMENT"these fakers scream,opting instead to see almost half the population of the nation either with minimal coverage or no coverage at all..These "conservatives" jump up and down over the notion that anyone no fortunate enough to have been born with a silver spoon in the mouth should be entitled to anything from the government...Thus Charon,and others like her ignore the real problems of the country mainly because,as far as they are concerned,"of the people,by the people and FOR THE PEOPLE"is an obsolete term or its application is limited to those who already own 90 per cent of this nation's wealth... | | Do-Gooders: How Liberals Hurt Those They Claim to Help (and the Rest of Us) by "Useful Idiots" & "Do Gooders" - Mona Charen | | I was a conservative but, because of the widening income gap between CEOs and working class, Enron, etc. I became a Liberal....until, my local library pulled these books from its shelves and put them on the FOR SALE rack for $.50. I bought them...I read them, and my faith was restored. I was shaken! I reverted to being a Conservative. Now I'm wondering if there are any books out there that indict Conservatives in such a well-documented, well-researcher manner as Ms. Charen's two books. I'd like to get a quality opposing view. Seems that all the really intelligent authors and talking heads are Conservatives. Are there any Liberals that have the intelligence and professionalism a Pat Buchanan, George Will or Mona Charen? Seems like the Liberal spokesmen are all foul-mouthed entertainers like Michael Moore, Al Franken and Bill Maher. Is there anything out that that I can read that is a well-researched, well-documented, well-written answer to "Do Gooders"? | | Do-Gooders: How Liberals Hurt Those They Claim to Help (and the Rest of Us) by Product Description | The New York Times bestseller about the harm that liberal do-gooders have wrought on those they’ve tried for decades to help
Liberals from Capitol Hill to Hollywood, from our major news organizations to our leading universities, are convinced that they know what’s best for America’s poor and middle class. And they are equally convinced that anyone who disagrees with them isn’t just wrong, but morally inferior, cold hearted . . . maybe even evil. But consider the mess liberals have made of education, race relations, crime, welfare, homelessness, and just about every other domestic issue over the past four decades. It’s a wonder they’re still so smug and self-righteous. Bestselling author and columnist Mona Charen now offers a comprehensive look at the damage caused by decades of well-intentioned liberal “big-heartedness.” She shines the spotlight of truth on the nation’s best-known—and most dangerous—do-gooders, including Michael Moore, Susan Sarandon, Jesse Jackson, Al Franken, Maureen Dowd, Bill Moyers, Dan Rather, Katie Couric, Gloria Steinem, and Hillary Clinton. Mona Charen holds the do-gooders accountable for their bad ideas, and refuses to let them hide from the real world facts that disprove their naïve theories.
“Charen’s new book . . . comes at the perfect time. . . . Her book is not only an easy read, but her wit and humor make it truly enjoyable.”
—Betsy Hart, Chicago Sun-Times
“The indispensable Mona Charen devotes her new book . . . to depicting the severe price that America has paid for past acts of ill-considered liberal beneficence. The array of facts Charen assembles, from crime to welfare to education, is daunting and definitive. . . . To read this excellent book is to receive a keen insight into why America has moved so far in the conservative direction in recent years.”
—National Review
“Following up on her bestselling Useful Idiots, Charen seeks to debunk liberal discourse and unearth the facts that never make the New York Times.”
—Christopher Benson, The Weekly Standard
“Anyone who does not understand the utter cynicism of politics does not understand politics. An education on that subject can be found in Mona Charen’s incisive new book, Do- Gooders.”
—Thomas Sowell, Capitalism Magazine
“Do-Gooders abounds in powerful data.”
