Are Liberals Stingy and Heartless?

One of the coolest thing about having a blog is being able to point out good and bad issues that other folks who are much smarter than I come up with.

I have already shared that I am a political half breed. My conservative friends think that I am a socialist and my liberal friends swear that I literally worship low taxes and Ronald Reagan. The truth is that I consider my self a Libertarian.

I didn't discover this article myself but heard about it on Rush Limbaugh. Rush is often a blowhard but he is the funniest and most insightful blowhard I have ever listened to.

This article by Nicholas Kristof shows that overall conservatives give more money personally than liberals. I find this very funny because all the main stream media talks about is how cold hearted and stingy conservatives are. In addition to that Mr. Kristof is as liberal as they come by his own admission. I have included the link below to the NY TIMES article. I hope you find it interesting.
