Conservatives are living their faiths and values, by contributing to charitable causes.

Liberals tend to denigrate religion, and tend to have no faith or values to live by. Liberals also feel oppressed and feel that they are struggling to survive, so they don’t have any money to spare to give to charity. They have plenty of money for IPhones and cable TV and so many other things, but not to give to charity.

But above all, liberals really feel that government programs should be doing all of the work of private charities, and feel that since those liberals who work do pay taxes, that they have already paid what they need to pay. And that government should be doing all of this anyway.

Liberals also fear faith based charities, because they are afraid groups such as Salvation Army might urge someone towards religious values in their lives, which offends the sensibilities of liberals.

You posted, in part: Liberals tend to denigrate religion, and tend to have no faith or values to live by.

I’ll have to disagree with you on that. Liberals have faith in the federal (but usually not state or local) government, and especially the courts. They have values to live by— the values of entitlement and denigration of religious faith, among many others.

Good observations with one exception. Liberals are actually very religious. Their gimmedat politics is their religion. They believe they have been bestowed with special gifts to redistribute the wealth of nations in a manner which they consider fair and equitable.

And they hate competition whether it be free market capitalism or traditional religion. They can no more separate their religion and politics than can about 70% of your Muslims.
