Liberals Are Stingy!

Ok, we’ve seen this before but here’s another log for that fire

SYRACUSE, N.Y. — Syracuse University professor Arthur C. Brooks is about to become the darling of the religious right in America — and it’s making him nervous.

The child of academics, raised in a liberal household and educated in the liberal arts, Brooks has written a book that concludes religious conservatives donate far more money than secular liberals to all sorts of charitable activities, irrespective of income.

In the book, he cites extensive data analysis to demonstrate that values advocated by conservatives — from church attendance and two-parent families to the Protestant work ethic and a distaste for government-funded social services — make conservatives more generous than liberals.

The book, titled “Who Really Cares: The Surprising Truth About Compassionate Conservatism” (Basic Books, $26), is due for release Nov. 24.

The only problem with the book that I see right now however is that he is misusing the term “compassionate conservatism”. Voluntary charitable donations are not what “compassionate conservatism” is about. “Compassionate Conservatism” is about would-be conservatives who act like social liberals, tax the crud out of Americans and throw government money at every social problem in violation of the federal constitution.

But now we see why liberals love government social programs. They are apparently incapable of helping others without the government telling them when and how.
