Which Carl Rove most certainly is not. He is a moron representing the worst of party and has done far more damage to it than he has ever done to help.

Are you kidding? Rove practically hand picks moderate republicans and steers them towards the GOP nomination.

Unfortunately, conservatives really don't help the poor with their own money, bubba. Take the Koch's for instance....they mostly donate to the opera or the ballet....not to helping the poor or feeding hungry children.

That book was debunked years ago. All that book proves is that conservatives are more religious, not charitable. Exclude the tithings and liberals are far more charitable with their own money than conservatives.

Read this article from Psychology Today. I guess a seasoned reporter like Lesley Stahl is wrong when she interviewed him:

"Reagan didn't seem to know who I was. He gave me a distant look with those milky eyes and shook my hand weakly. Oh, my, he's gonzo, I thought. I have to go out on the lawn tonight and tell my countrymen that the president of the United States is a doddering space cadet."

Or his son Ron Reagan:

Ron Reagan writes of a "growing sense of alarm over his father's mental condition." He recalls the presidential debate with Walter Mondale, October 1984, in which his father seemed lost and unable to articulate himself. In "Ronald Reagan had Alzheimer's while president, says son

And apparently his politics run somewhere between Neoconservative to Libertarian. Point being? He is most likely biased.

Just more unsupported spew. Your link does not even mention the book. And far from being debunked, it is a standard reference. As for the silly article you linked, that's just a litany of anti- religious bigotry. Who knew you were such a hater?:peace

Wow, you've tried almost every truth suppression trick in the book, Jack. Did Saul Alinsky's handbook teach you how to do that?

:agree: Welfare, food stamps, unemployment, social security, medicare and Medicaid are all government programs, paid for by taxes. If I could consider that charitable giving, I'm sending an awful lot more to charity than I thought! I'll have to remember to remind my CPA of that next time I see him - maybe he could file an amended return for me? I only included Salvation Army, Food Bank, and others like that when he asked about charitable donations. :sigh:

Are you trying to claim that all the taxes that help the poor are paid by conservatives. ROTFL.

Tax deductions sure help inspire the charitable giving don't they? Would you be as charitable if you couldn't deduct it from your taxes?

Too bad.

Moot said:
You make the left sound just like Jesus. lol Well, helping the sick and tired was one of his teachings, wasn't it?

Imo, the liberals help the sick for the same reason that conservatives don't help the sick....out of pure self interest. Helping the sick helps prevent epidemic outbreaks and therefore reduces the risk of liberals getting sick. For conservatives, not helping the sick helps reduce the population ensuring less competition for finite resources.


So the difference is that while the left exploit the sick for their own self interest...which in turn benefits society as a whole (aka "objectivism"), the right wing tend to exploit the dead because they can't defend or speak for themselves (aka 'revisionism")...or vote.

Liberals don't want to behave like Christians or help the poor. They want the government to do it while they're busy tokin' up.

Liberals don't contribute much under any circumstances, tax deductible or otherwise. But I'll wager they're in the majority collecting government handouts.
