IMO The Dems are more likely to help people more then the repbliicans which is demonstrated by the programs like ACORN that republicans like to bitch about.
Judging someone by how much they give is very shallow. We as a people need to STOP judging folks, because none of us is without sin no matter how hard you try to portray otherwise.
I think it pretty much a fact that conservative Protestants give more to religious and NON religous charities than any other group. I have heard that from both sides of network news channels, this is the first article I saw on the topic, its from Canada, but I think the same can be said about the usa. here is the part that talks about Christian givers.
Start of Article ->People who have strong religious beliefs tend to volunteer their time to organizations and donate more than those who aren’t religious, says Ryerson University Professor, Ida Berger, who recently published a study on the influence of religion on philanthropy in Canada. Professor Berger presents this conclusion in the article, The Influence of Religion on Philanthropy in Canada, published in the Journal Voluntas, Oct. 2006.
“People who identify strongly with their faith have more access to activities through their church, synagogue or temple to engage in volunteer and fundraising activities, than individuals who aren’t religious,” says Professor Berger, author of the study.
Data from a 2000 Statistics Canada survey shows that over 14,000 Canadians engaged in philanthropic activity and their religious affiliation. The religious groups include Christians, Jews, Eastern religions, other religions and non-religious groups.
The professor who teaches Ryerson’s Centre for Voluntary Sector Studies found that:
* conservative Protestants are more likely to donate and volunteer than people not affiliated with a religion, or those who identify themselves with other religions;
The thing you said about Acorn, I disagree, but that does not make me right, but I was thinking and this goes for both side 100%. Would’nt it be more fair to have social programs work something like this. For instance, I am not for Acorn, I believe woman should have the choice with out their bodies even though I think its wrong that a 13 yr old girl cant get her ears pierced with out her parents consent but can get an abortion without their consent. Now Im not saying to ban either one, but should I be required to pay for social activities that honetly go against what I believe. I think you have that same right. It cost california thousands and thousands of $ to take the cross that represented the spanish setting up Catholic missions all over Calif, off the state symble because some was offended, why cant the person who is offended pay for it, why do I pay for public schools when my kids never used them. I am willing to give you that same right, I had a job at the studios till I had 3 surgeries, I’m a security guard now, my pay is down by 2/3. Man that a lot of money, I cant hardly make my payment let alone help some one who might make more than me, but lost his house cause he wanted 3000 sq feet instead of 900 sq feet like I settled for, I just think this is all common sense, but I will say I agree with the judging and we are all sinners bit. It true, sin is sin man and we are all sinners.
