Philanthropy Expert: Conservatives Are More Generous

I know this is a little bit dated, I just wanted to hide it from the DUmmies, whose heads might explode if they see this (they have this holier-than-thou belief that they are the most compassionate people on earth, despite never doing a damned thing for anyone but themselves). What better place to hide it than here?:) From BeliefNet:

SYRACUSE, N.Y. -- Syracuse University professor Arthur C. Brooks is about to become the darling of the religious right in America -- and it's making him nervous.

The child of academics, raised in a liberal household and educated in the liberal arts, Brooks has written a book that concludes religious conservatives donate far more money than secular liberals to all sorts of charitable activities, irrespective of income.

In the book, he cites extensive data analysis to demonstrate that values advocated by conservatives -- from church attendance and two-parent families to the Protestant work ethic and a distaste for government-funded social services -- make conservatives more generous than liberals.

If you go to DU, you'll see some of them claiming that Jesus was a socialist- that he advocated the redistribution of wealth. The conservative Christian position is that Jesus message was to individuals, not the government. That is why, despite the spin the extreme left puts on it, conservative Christians are among the most generous and nice people you will ever meet.
