As a conservative, I assume my side gives more than the other and not surprisingly Liberals assume the same about their side. Rush came across this Op-Ed piece in the New York TImes yesterday. Now we have evidence from liberal researchers showing that Conservatives do in fact give more.
Bleeding Heart Tightwads by Nicholas D. Kristof, New York Times, December 20th, 2008.
Besides financial giving, Conservatives bleed more according to the article: “If liberals and moderates gave blood as often as conservatives, Mr. Brooks said, the American blood supply would increase by 45 percent.” Shocking.
“It’s true that religion is the essential reason conservatives give more, and religious liberals are as generous as religious conservatives. Among the stingiest of the stingy are secular conservatives.” [a quote from the article you and Limbaugh linked us to]
Tithing Christians give more than non church-goers. That’s the main point. Most tithing Christians happen to be conservatives, so the numbers just turn out that way. Note that “religious liberals are as generous as religious conservatives.” Correlation without causation, Rush ol’ buddy.
