This is my dad. Why am I posting this? Because it's a shining example of cognitive dissonance. My dad fully supports gay marriage, speaks out against Republicans and Democrats, and highlights the need for a third party. Then he says poo poo like this, votes Republican, and listens to Rush Limbaugh. :911: in a nutshell.

There's probably a comic premise out there in which Hitler calls the White Rose fascists.

We had an argument. It ended with him saying "I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree," which is what people usually say when they're losing an argument. Also some stupid stuff about how he would "fight oppression" whether it be from the right or left. I wanted to talk about how the Nazis used the glorification of old heroes/ancestors in order to bring about the nationalistic feeling necessary for fascism to succeed, and draw parallels to how neoconservatives use the Founders, but it never got to that point.

Chart showing health care consumption has been on the decrease. So remember the argument that "we can't have universal health care, people need to pay out of pocket so they reduce consumption and change lifestyles to keep prices down"? Yeah, completely at odds with reality. Expansion of health care decreases consumption



Also, I have a video, but I want to get mod clearance before I post it. It is Budd Dweyer's last press conference/suicide. Ok or don't post?

It's donating less now that, you know, it's a recession and those donations are needed most.

Anyway, the problem is not that they dont give or that theyre indifferent, its that they have gone out of their way to make the lives of the poor worse. They have spent money, time and effort stopping aid to those hurt worst by the recession, as well as belittling them at every opportunity for committing the crime of existing



Previous to this segment they did one about how $250K a year isn't really rich, and we should feel sorry for them.

No one is asking them to martyr themselves or give up their mansions or piles of money or make sure every product is fair trade local whatever.

Just, please, stop going out of your way to hurt people.

-- Although liberal families' incomes average 6 percent higher than those of conservative families, conservative-headed households give, on average, 30 percent more to charity than the average liberal-headed household ($1,600 per year vs. $1,227).

Do they differentiate between "actual charity" and "goes to church"?

Religious people donate more to both secular and to religious charities, of all types:
http://www.ropercenter.uconn.edu/data_access/data/datasets/social_capital_community_survey.html#.UBtiOHY5uSp
(registration is free)
And so the conservative/liberal gap in charity is mostly just because conservatives are more religious for a variety of reasons. A religious liberal donates more than a secular conservative.

For more international study there is:
http://ics.uda.ub.rug.nl/FILES/root/Articles/2006/ReitsmaJ-Dimensions/73-ReitsmaJ-Dimensions-2006.pdf
Which looks at the effects of religion on charity for 7 European nations.
