Evil Righties Outgive Righteous Lefties

"Religious conservatives donate far more money than secular liberals to all sorts of charitable activities, irrespective of income... extensive data analysis demonstrates 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."

Horse-hockey.

I don't give a lot of money to charity. I give my time, which is more valuable.

Many other so-called liberals make caring for people a lifestyle, and they do more for the communities they live in.

If you asked Tom Philpott how much he gives to charity, he may say not much, but he is a partner in a sustainable agricultural venture and writes for a lefty tree-hugger blog.

Come to think of it, that's a great example for his capitalist brother. Tom earns his living by doing good for human beings and for the environment. That is much more important than cutting a check once a year to get the tax writeoff.
