YEP...JUST LIKE THESE LIBBERS: Biden gave average of $369 to charity a year - USATODAY.com ALVIN GORE A WHOPPING 353.00 YEAR. YOUR OWN KING OBAMA: Below is Obama's charitable giving expressed as percentage of his income for the years 2000 to 2006: 2000: 0.9% 2001: 0.5% 2002: 0.4% 2003: 1.4% 2004: 1.2% wow, how pitiful is that? until O'bammy figured out he was going to be in the "public" eye, this stingy dud gave almost NOTHING! and alvin gore's "environmental" contributions? was it his Gulfstream Jet? or maybe that lil ol house of his? yeah..no carbon footprint there....and i wonder what his girlfriend was costing him in travel and housing? and overall giving??? -- Although liberal families' incomes average 6 percent higher than those of conservative families, conservative-headed households give, on average, 30 percent more to charity than the average liberal-headed household ($1,600 per year vs. $1,227). -- Conservatives also donate more time and give more blood. -- Residents of the states that voted for John Kerry in 2004 gave smaller percentages of their incomes to charity than did residents of states that voted for George Bush. -- Bush carried 24 of the 25 states where charitable giving was above average. -- In the 10 reddest states, in which Bush got more than 60 percent majorities, the average percentage of personal income donated to charity was 3.5. Residents of the bluest states, which gave Bush less than 40 percent, donated just 1.9 percent. -- People who reject the idea that "government has a responsibility to reduce income inequality" give an average of four times more than people who accept that proposition realclearpolitics.com put ALL this in your crack pipe and smoke it

Liberals frequently live in little conclaves of like-minded inhabitants. They don't seem to care about people outside it. They don't care about the schools poor people go to as long as their own kids don't go there.

Liberals care about all humanity and its environment......RWers care about their own little conclave and its like minded inhabitants....ie bigots.. I believe that liberals and conservatives actually have very similar "cares" as far as the outcome of their beliefs. The difference is in how one gets there. And I am talking about your average person on the street, not politicians. Where conservatives may appear more selfish to liberals, the reality is that conservatives believe that the best way to benefit the most people is through self reliance. That entitlement programs tend to be a disincentive to self-reliance which will tend to remove productive people from the equation and add to the population of lifelong entitlement recipients. There's ample evidence to support this. I personally believe that the vast majority of liberals are well intentioned. I do believe that they are misguided in the methods in which they think they can deliver the best quality of life for the most people. It should be obvious to the most enthusiastic liberal that entitlement programs never seem to be enough. They reason that the entitlement program didn't work was that they just didn't ask for enough. If only they had double the amount, all of their problems will be solved. Thinking that conservatives are unfeeling bastards who want to see poor people dying on the street may make you feel better about your position, but it isn't remotely near the truth. Liberal politicians on the other hand are blood sucking parasites who are preying on the liberal person's desire to do good.
