THOSE HIDEOUS UNCOMPASSIONATE CONSERVATIVES Some group called The Chronicle of Philanthropy has compiled a list of the most and least generous areas in the United States when it comes to individuals giving money to charity. This list of the most and least generous cities in the U.S. shows the amount of disposable income that is donated to charitable causes. Look at the list, and tell me if you see anything odd … politically speaking … about who does and doesn’t give. Most Generous/Percentage 1. Salt Lake City-Ogden, Utah 14.9 2. Grand Rapids-Muskegon-Holland, Michigan 10.0 3. (tie) Minneapolis-St. Paul, Minnesota 8.5 3. (tie) Greensboro-Winston-Salem-High Point, North Carolina 8.5 5. (tie) Memphis, Tennessee 8.4 5. (tie) Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas 8.4 7. Nashville, Tennessee 8.3 8. (tie) San Antonio, Texas 8.1 8. (tie) Houston-Galveston-Brazoria, Texas 8.1 10. (tie) Oklahoma City, Oklahoma 8.0 10. (tie) Norfolk-Virginia Beach-Newport News, Virginia 8.0 Least Generous/Percentage 1. Hartford, Connecticut 4.7 2. Providence-Fall River-Warwick, Rhode Island 5.1 3. Boston-Worcester-Lawrence, Massachusetts 5.2 4. Buffalo-Niagara Falls, New York 5.8 5. (tie) New Orleans, Louisiana 5.9 5. (tie) Las Vegas, Nevada 5.9 7. Austin-San Marcos, Texas 6.0 8. (tie) Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania 6.1 8. (tie) Miami-Ft. Lauderdale, Florida 6.1 8. (tie) Philadelphia-Wilmington, Delaware-Atlantic City, New Jersey 6.1 Have you figured it out yet? Let me help. Remember the great election map after the 2000 vote? The reds and the blues? If not, your link to that map is mwhodges.home.att.net. The red areas on that map voted for George Bush. The blue areas voted for Al Gore. Check out the cities where people give generously to charities. For the most part, they voted for Bush. The least generous cities voted for Gore. In fact, you might remember a news story during the campaign showing how little money Al Gore gave to charity. Stories of that type are now surfacing about John Kerry. The true story here is one of the nature of leftist compassion. When conservatives act compassionately, they do so with their own money. Liberals? They use your money.. boortz.com
