Red states most charitable; blue states most stingy!

This story typifies what we know about liberalism. Full story here.

Basically, it states that of all the charitable giving done in America, the "red states" (you know, the ones that liberals deride as backwoods, uneducated, and selfish?) rank at the top of such giving. The blue states (you know, the enlightened, creative, and "compassionate" states?) rank dead last.

The top six most generous states: Mississippi, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Alabama and Tennessee. Mississippi, a very conservative state, makes less money per capita than any state and is thus one of the poorest, yet is the most generous with it! How's that, huh? The least money, but the most giving with what little they have!

The top five stingiest states (i.e. bottom five most generous): Connecticut, New Hampshire, Massachusetts and Rhode Island. Connecticut, a very liberal state, makes more money per capita than any state, yet is the least generous with it.

Do we see a pattern here?

I recall that during the 2000 election, it was revealed that the Gores made over $800,000 and gave a piddly $348 to charity. The Cheneys made about $26 million, and gave over $2 million to charity.

I also recall this year that John Kerry's wife reported her "income" in such a way that she wound up paying at the 12% tax rate...about half of MY rate (I make nowhere near what she does)! Kerry and his wife also opted out of paying any additional state income tax, though MA found itself in a budget bind. No, I don't think they should have had to pay beyond that which they are legally required. But they (along with the Gore example, along with countless others) prove my point, and the facts make the assertion indisputable:

Liberals are really compassionate...with other people's money! Keep your filthy hands off of their money, though, while they are busy waxing philosophic at Manhattan dinner parties and Georgetown soirees about how you don't pay your "fair share"!

Liberals try to make public policy based on theory, not reality. Living in theory is more pleasant to them than living in reality, since reality has time and again proven their ideology to be unsustainable and demonstrative failures. Thus, reality must be ignored, and theory must be wallowed in!

Imbeciles! New Englanders and West Coasters, you ought to be ashamed of yourselves! And you cretins have the nerve to call red states "backwards"? At least they give a damn about their fellow man...much like liberal rhetoric purports to do (but whose actions betray their words)!
