Becareful What You Stand in, er... For

The stereotypical perspective on the Democratic Party states that the Democrats are the party of the little person. Conversely, Republicans are painted as rich, bigoted, and intolerant. Neither of these stereotypes holds any water when analyzed. The myth of the charitable liberal seemingly knows no bounds. And I agree that liberals are infinitely more charitable with other people’s money. However, when it comes to their own money, a recent study reveals where the true charity resides Two quick examples come to mind, the present leader of our country reported a four million dollar income on his taxes, yet donated less that 4% to charity. Joe Biden's income was in the mid six figures but his reported charity was right at the nine hundred dollar mark.

Liberal democrats find charity dipping into your pockets. Passing out entitlements like candy off a float at the 4th of July parade, satisfies their need to give back. Redistribution of your wealth clears their conscience. A correct read on this startling revelation is that the liberal philosophy is more intrusive towards the individual and individual rights. When given the option to give on their own or allow government to dictate how others should give, the liberal philosophy on giving chooses to infringe on the choices of the individual in favor of big government

Most conservative politicians practice Christianity, they are taught from a young age to give back at least 10% to church and charity, and they do. A recent study by Syracuse University professor Arthur C. Brooks outlines the truth behind the conservative generosity. Brooks details how traditional conservatives are the most generous Americans, giving far more to charity than their more secular liberal counterparts

Conservatives also try to stand on a rigid code of morals, as sinners they sometimes stray! Radical Saul Alinsky points out; "No organization, including organized religion, can live up to the letter of it own book." He also notes liberals can club conservatives to death with their own book of rules. The pot calls the kettle black, if you will.

Liberals lose the moral high ground when they fail to act in the same manner in which they demand others act. This is another case of the vast liberal hypocrisy that is exposed when any of the great political myths that pervade this nation are examined. Liberals have been claiming they are the most virtuous members of American society. Although they usually give less to charity, they have nevertheless lambasted conservatives for their callousness in the face of social injustice.

I'm loving the view from this side of the fence!
