I am not familiar with KY politics so I have no comment on the governor. But I have a few questions. Are you implying that conservative Christians aren't generous or are you saying you don't like where they put their money? Do you have any idea how much money flows out of churches to the third world to provide food, medicines, buildings and clothing?

Liberals are rather skimpy when it comes to giving to charities (unless they are donating to a foundation and getting it broadcast in the news). For example, when Kathleen Brown ran for governor, her taxes were revealed. Her annual charitable donation was about $200 and she was NOT a poor woman, quite the opposite. They abdicate their own responsibility and want the govt to fix people's problems -- substance abuse, poverty, etc. Churches reach out to offer recovery services/workshops, elderly care, child care, pays utility & rent bills, loans cars, etc. Teenagers that attend church regularly have a fraction of the rate of depression, suicide, STDs, etc. The list goes on.

Someone on this site could find Pres Clinton's, VP Gore, Senator Clinton's charitable giving vs Pres Bush's. I'd like to see it posted.

But we are living in a society that no longer knows about Joshua or Hannah or Miriam or Ahab. "Heaven and earth will pass away but.....".

There are always exceptions, but a family of mine who are mostly west coast liberals, make hefty charitable donations. I managed to end up in Texas where a found a church that was very accepting and graceful.
