A liberal columnist admits that conservatives give money generously to charities,while liberals only give lip service.
The late West Virginia columnist L.T. Anderson once observed that it is easy to be generous with other people’s money.
Which explain why Dick Cheney can give away $6 million in one year to charities (75% of his income) while his predecessor could not even give away $1,000 one year and why his successor averaged $369 a year in such donations (0.25% of income).
The liberal compassion is taxing others to give to others.
Nicholas Kristof of the New York Times (http://www.nytimes.com/2008/12/21/opinion/21kristof.html?_r=1&ref=todayspaper) today admitted it:
“Conservatives also appear to be more generous than liberals in nonfinancial ways. People in red states are considerably more likely to volunteer for good causes, and conservatives give blood more often. If liberals and moderates gave blood as often as conservatives, Mr. Brooks said, the American blood supply would increase by 45 percent.”
Of course, being the liberal skank he is, Kristof went on to piss all over the cash donations of conservatives because much of the money goes to churches. In case he missed it churches do a great deal more to help the poor than say, ACORN...who, of course, are also in the business of forcing government to hand over someone else's money in the name of charity.
