In terms of personal life experience, most of the angry liberals that I have met over the years are not very charitable. Of course there are some very charitable liberals. I was speaking in general. By the way, should I ignore my life experiences? We all make observations based on life experience. If something happens once or twice, it could be random. But when you see something fairly consistently for 20 years, you can usually draw some pretty accurate conclusions. How old am I? I am in my 40s. With regard to the rape thing, you are totally twisting my position. You totally misunderstood what I said. I explained my position thoroughly in a later post. |

http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/...ent-charities/ Who Really Gives? Partisanship and Charitable Giving in the United States Conservatives and liberals are equally generous in their donation habits. This pattern holds at both the individual and state level, and contradicts the conventional wisdom that partisans differ in their generosity. http://themonkeycage.org/blog/2012/1...united-states/ Exploding the myth that conservatives give more to charity than liberals A few years ago, several of our Applesauce regulars cited a study authored by Syracuse University Professor Arthur C. Brooks to support their argument that political conservatives donate more to charity than their liberal counterparts. But now there’s a NEW STUDY showing not only that charitable contributions are roughly equal among liberals and conservatives but also that Brooks’ methodology was faulty. Related posts: Exploding the myth that Romney pays more of his income in taxes and charity than does Obama Study shows that conservatives are more fearful than liberals Research suggests that liberals have thicker brains than conservatives Why are liberals so much better than conservatives at political satire?

![]() There are obviously plenty of acquaintances of mine whose charitable habits I know nothing about. I'm not denying that. But there are plenty of acquaintances that I talk about that kind of stuff with. I know which of my friends give away a lot of money and which ones don't. I know which ones give to political parties and candidates too.

Secondly, you just have no idea unless you actually see the donations and/or their checking accounts. You're talking out of your ass here. It's obvious. You started with "most liberals" and now you're kind of admitting you really have no idea. |

Either way, this whole thing gave you a chance to crowbar in that you are involved with charities. We're all impressed. ![]() |

I'm not trying to impress anyone. There are plenty of people out there that do a million times more than me. I could certainly do a lot more than I do. |
