Several recent studies suggest that, as a percentage of earnings, those who identify themselves as politically conservative are more altruistic than Liberals.

Liberals are more generous with other peoples' money  Conservatives are more generous with their
money.

Brad - what comes up when you Google your name  ? anything relevant ?

I wouldnt normally bring it up  but you will find me here  http://www.google.com/search?s.....;q=richard+denuccio- under BENEFACTOR-

Step up  all you conservatives- but on the otherhand this isnt really a politcal issue  - except in this forum- where everything is political.

Sombody,

Not sure what a Google search of my name has to do with the studies that were cited in my post.

As for the results of a Google search on my name, there is nothing that appears that is extraordinary.  I am, however, a faithful husband, a proud and loving father of two respectful, honest and happy children, and an individual who has worked since the age of 12 and who currently works two jobs to keep the bills, including the ever increasing taxes, paid.

In my "spare" time, I have coached my children's sports teams, been active in my church, volunteer with the local fire department, volunteer with the Duanesburg Volunteer Ambulance Corp, volunteer at the City Mission, and been involved recently in local political matters trying to hold our government officials accountable to the people who elect them.

In summary, my accomplishments will not appear as links produced by an internet search engine.  They may be more modest than those accomplishments of others.  However, when my Maker calls me home, I will leave this earth with belief that I did my small part and made my contribution to making our world a better place.  One's sense of self-worth differs amongst people.

But, again, not sure that this has anything to do with the topic.

BTW, congratulations on your accomplishments!

Maybe all liberals can file a class(less) action lawsuit against anyone who repeats this slanderous libel, and hire one the Gardner's pimply faced ambulance chasers to do the job for free. Sue you, sue them sue everybody is what I say!!!!! Ask Nobody!

Yoy can goole almost any thing and find propganda that puts down a particular group of people or person-

I would never bother posting stuff like- studies have shown conservatives aren't necessarily dumb but they are usually stupid because their brains failed to develop properly due to their fear of the unknown when they were children. "As kids, liberals had developed close relationships with peers and were rated by their teachers as self-reliant, energetic, impulsive, and resilient.

People who were conservative at age 23 had been described by their teachers as easily victimized, easily offended, indecisive, fearful, rigid, inhibited, and vulnerable at age 3. The reason for the difference, the [the researchers] hypothesized, was that insecure kids most needed the reassurance of tradition and authority, and they found it in conservative politics."

A typical conservative brain at maturity:

Is there really a reason to post stuff like that ?

"People who were conservative at age 23 had been described by their teachers as easily victimized ( I ALWAYS STOOD UP FOR MYSELF AND OTHERS), easily offended ( I LOVE IT WHEN PEOPLE BEAT UP ON ME SINCE IT IS EASIER TO FIND THEIR FLAWS), indecisive ( I AM THE BOLDEST SOB YOU WILL EVER MEET- LA AUDACE LA AUDACE), fearful (ONLY GOD SCARES ME), rigid ( I ROLL WITH THE FLOW AND ADAPT), inhibited (TRUST ME ON THIS ONE), and vulnerable(WAS VERY ABLE TO FEND FOR MYSELF THEN AND NOW) at age 3. The reason for the difference, the [the researchers] hypothesized, was that insecure kids (IF I AM INSECURE, OR WAS, THEN WHAT IS SECURE?) most needed the reassurance of tradition and authority, and they found it in conservative politics."

I just believe in tradition and authority, but I don't blindly worship authority when it is based on falsity or illegality. Our founding fathers didn't and my all time personal hero is George Washington. Was he a liberal? Read a few bios on him and report back. NO!

This is hateful propaganda at best put out by pointy headed idiots who have hate in their hearts for the tradition of America. But that being said, studies have proven that conservatives give more to charity because they believe in the private charity ethic, versus the collective government role that liberals want government to assume. Your above study is based on subjective data and pop psychology. The study about the charity is based om empirical evidence and statistics. Somebody, you may be an exception, but why don't you just let government handle it? I know why- because you think they TAX AND IMPOUND TOO LITTLE AND GIVE TOO LITTLE TO OTHER THROUGH REDISTRIBUTION SO YOU ARE TRYING TO MAKE UP FOR IT. And in the meantime you slander other people by calling them liars because you don't want there to be any dissent in our community.

So WHO is the slave to the totalitarians now????? WHO needs the firm hand of authority to hold us down now? NOT conservatives. LIBERALS LIKE YOU!!!!!!!!!

By the way, did you line up a deathocrat lawyer yet?
