a creationist... when the data disagrees with your preconceived prejudices - just kneejerk and call bullshit on it

"came in the form of Democratic instituted programs while our rich pug neighbors stopped by to see if we wanted to donate to their church programs - they failed to see that we were hungry even though they were standing in front of our sparsely set table as we ate. They give only to further their own ends. No one debunks it because if you just look at how much money and you do not look at what kind of programs and what these programs actually do you are missing the point. Democrats deliberately chose to give through government because it was more impartial and more accountable. "

#1 that still doesn't dispute the author's claims. that conservatives give more to charity.

#2 how do democrats CHOOSE to give more through govt? are u claiming they pay more than what the IRS requires? i have seen no evidence of that.

i am heartened by liberals, such as bill gates who are immensely charitable. i ASSUMED that liberals probably gave more to charity. but unlike you, if i am confronted with data that goes against my assumptions, i do the intellectually honest thing and reassess my assumptions. YOU just run away from uncomfortable facts.

that's what THEY are supposed to do. WE live in the reality based community. or at least some of us do.
