Bleeding Heart Tightwads / Who is most charitable?

Whats wrong with this? Maybe we should all reconsider what we focus our giving on?

This is terrible!

"But Mr. Brooks says that if measuring by the percentage of income given, conservatives are more generous than liberals even to secular causes.

In any case, if conservative donations often end up building extravagant churches, liberal donations frequently sustain art museums, symphonies, schools and universities that cater to the well-off.(It’s great to support the arts and education, but they’re not the same as charity for the needy. And some research suggests that donations to education actually increase inequality because they go mostly to elite institutions attended by the wealthy.)

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."

Serioulsy what the heck is the problem here...Conservative even give more blood?

3. Right

Because poor kids never go to a museum on a school field trip. And who the hell wants that clean water or old growth forest anyway. The Red Cross doesn't do blood drives in liberal areas? Whose fault is that? This is stupid. The conservatives in my town volunteer at their church and the liberals do everything else.

Stupid DUmmie.

If you demand that I give up my food or you'll send the goons around to take it by force, then hand it out to the poor, it is communism.

For you to claim your sanction of this activity as "charity" is disgusting.

Remember that the VP elect gave a whopping $300/year for the last six years.  The president elect gave about the same except for the $15K he gave his racist church.....that bought the racist pastor a million dollar house.

Liberals believe that tolerance means that other people must put up with them. It doesn’t mean that they have to put up with others.

When you are the beneficiary of someone’s kindness and generosity, it produces a sense of gratitude and community.

When you are the beneficiary of a policy that steals from someone and gives it to you in return for your vote, it produces a sense of entitlement and dependency.

For many years I couldn't donate blood because I was in the wrong part of the world during the wrong period. I still can't and probably never will be able to donate/sell plasma.

It is said that branches draw their life from the vine. Each is separate yet all are one as they share one life giving stem . The Bible tells us we are called to a similar union in life, our lives with the life of God. We are incorporated into him; made sharers in his life. Apart from this union we can do nothing.

That makes two of us. Red Cross keeps telling me, "Thanks, but no thanks."

Oh bullshit.  Conservatives/Republicans give because they believe it's the right thing to do to help others. Libs expect the Government to do that for them.
