They can kiss my Conservative grits. I donate to charities, have helped others (monetarily and given my time), and will continue to help others.
Oh, and on another note, when I've worked or volunteered with other groups, not one person(s) has admitted to being a Liberal in any of those groups or organizations. Thus, where are the liberals? No, don't answer that question. They're the ones standing there waiting for a hand out or the Elitist pushing legislation to continue making economic slaves out of the ones who can't or won't think for themselves. Silly me!
You’re right conservatives are much more charitable than liberals, and they do so voluntarily, they don’t need the government to force them to help their neighbors.
In the aftermath of the the Katrina disaster, I was posting on the Seattle Times web site about the hurricane. The libs were going nuts blaming Bush and whining. I told them that my husband was preparing to go to New Orleans to help out and asked them what they were doing to help ameliorate the situation. Democrats whine, conservatives act in a crisis.
Put another way: Conservatives believe in solutions that work and spend time and money on those solutions. Liberals believe in solutions that let them feel morally superior (this article is a prime example) and spend time and other people’s money on making themselves feel morally superior.
