[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]god gives no credit for government action.  conservatives give a much higher proportion of income to charity.  personal sacrifice is what counts.  communism is godless and humanist at its core.[/quote]

This is true only because they give to their churches, which is mostly self-dealing.  Most churches give only a small percentage of their donations to actual charity, and the vast majority goes to the donor's benefit.  It pays for your minister and staff, the upkeep of your building, your church programs, maybe that tennis court and soccer field nearby.   I know, I have read the annual reports from the parishes I have been a part of.[/quote]

I think the charities to which Republicans contribute are not serving the poor, disabled, etc.  Contributing to your church, your schools, and the arts is great but does little for the poor, disabled. [/quote]

Not being snarky, but have you ever attended a church, synagogue, mosque, etc on a regular basis and been involved with local missions? If not, then you might be amazed at what many congregations do to help those in need. I mean major donations, time, and personal assistance for the homeless, those with mental health issues, people who have lost jobs, families without food, etc. For example, the church we attend maintains a women's shelter that has made a remarkable difference in supporting and turning around the lives of homeless women and helping them get employment.
