Naturally you are talking about the selfishness of the left-wingers who enjoy pilfering from the pockets of the right and everyone in between.

Naturally you need to remove your finger from your ass. Your prostate
is fine.

These idiots can't stand that a liberal has been successful at
business and still wants to lend support to folks who haven't been as
lucky.

The Republican mantra: I've got mine, **** you.

Do you believe that liberals, in general, are more charitable than conservatives?

I's sure conservative born-agains contribute mightily to their churches,
but most of those bucks ain't going to the poor.

Have you reviewed the budgets of the churches to which you refer? What about conservatives who
aren't 'born-agains' ? Most Christians I know are not 'born-agains'. In fact, I don't believe I know
one in that category.

But, you didn't answer the question. Do you believe that liberals, in general, are more charitable
than conservatives? The question was posed because of the apparent allegation made by jps.

I don't consider "charity" giving to a church that uses the funds for
edifices or salaries of its clergy, or for proselytizing. Charity
supposedly is to help the poor with food, shelter, medical care,
clothing, et cetera. So, when you deduct conservative christian
charitable giving that isn't used to provide direct assistance to the
poor, the amount of giving goes way, way down.

Giving money to one's church so it can send "missionaries" to Central
and South America to convert Catholics into Protestants isn't charitable
giving. Neither is giving money to convert "pagans" into Christians.
It's proselytizing and, as such, money used for those purposes shouldn't
be considered charity or eligible for charitable deduction.

And the question remains unanswered.

Never mind.

No, I don't believe conservatives are more prone to give to legitimate
charities whose sole purpose is to help the poor or the sick or the
homeless.

Well, I believe you're wrong, but that's OK.
