Demolished, with hard data: the myth that liberals are more generous
and "compassionate" than conservatives
Who Really Cares: America's Charity Divide - Who Gives, Who
Doesn't, and Why It Matters
by Arthur C. Brooks
"When President Bush coined the term "compassionate conservatism,"
many conservatives were understandably miffed. It seemed to concede to
liberals that traditional conservatives are indeed a greedy, selfish
bunch - unlike liberals, with their "commitment" to the poor and
disadvantaged. Now comes an amazing new book that buries that old
canard forever. In Who Really Cares: America's Charity Divide - Who
Gives, Who Doesn't, and Why It Matters, Arthur C. Brooks uses hard
data to prove that, when it comes to charitable giving, conservatives
- especially religious conservatives - are far more generous than
liberals, who seem to believe that "compassion" begins and ends
with voting for government handouts..."
