Yup. They feel guilty because some people not even related to them enslaved other people hundreds of years ago. As just one example.

It's not ridiculous because it has been studied and demonstrated that conservatives are more generous than liberals, statistically speaking.

That does not mean your wife isn't generous. It just means that most liberals are less generous than most conservatives.

Having spent a good amount of time working as a bartender and waiter, I can tell you that the studies line up with reality.

True. Republicans give more to charity than Democrats, and not just among the wealthy. Republicans give more across ALL income levels.

He beat the dog regularly.

Can liberals NEVER find true statements to make?

Wow conservatives really do have sticks firmly placed up their asses.

It's called a joke. A one liner. Badupump!

In reality as a liberal I am very careful who I give charity to in the sense of what organizations. Too many are set up to support the staff rather than the cause. If the percentage of funds is off they are not getting my money. I'm suspicious of professional non-profits. TRUMP FOUNDATION is a perfect example.

Actually St Jude is a good one. I can understand why Rush would be loathe to admit he gave money to a CATHOLIC charity. He didn't want to offend his FUNDIE fans. I love that money made from his so called Christian fans was used to fund a CATHOLIC charity. That's the Art of War stuff.

Liberals pick and choose who they forgive based on the letter, D or R, associated with them.
I don't believe I have ever commented on Cuomo. You must be confusing me with someone else. I don't live in NY. But of course you "already know".....everything.

My union supporting liberal husband tips 20% and then rounds up to the next increment of 5 bucks for all.

If the service is especially good or difficult, it's more.

The person you had lunch with is not all the liberals.

I love jokes. The thing that makes jokes funny, is that they ring true.

Now, sarcasm is the opposite. The thing that makes sarcasm funny, is that the content is false.

If you are saying that your statement was said in sarcasm, then yes, it is funny, and I just missed it.

You sure you want to throw around that word hypocrite? You seem to care a lot about charities which is certainly nice to hear and a good thing, but the guy you just voted for a few months ago had his charity shutdown because he used it as a slush fund. I just know that if I voted for Trump the last thing I would want to do is criticize another person for their charitable contributions.
