Reply #8: show me where he plays with statistics

[selador]

if it is true that conservatives give more to charity, then so be it.

i don't see you presenting any evidence, just the bald assertion that he is playing with them

you are correct, that liberals tend to support more social programs by govt. but that isn't what is addressed here. you are also correct that conservatives are more likely to cut them. but again, that's not addressed here.

i don't believe in ad hominem. merely asserting that he must be playing with statistics because you don't like him and disagree with his assertions is intellectually dishonest at best.

furthermore, it's not WILL's statistics. it's arthur c brooks at syracuse.

do you automatically discount data that goes against your prejudices as to how you THINK things are? or do you dispassionately look at data, regardless of whether it goes against your preconceived notions?

hint: that's a rhetorical question. the answer is clear.

*if* conservatives give more personally to charity, then that's something we should address, not sweep under the table because it's an "uncomfortable truth"
