Liberals accept cheating on taxes, cheating on their spouses and lying for their own self interests, Peter Schweizer, author of Makers and Takers, said.
Schweizer spoke at the Heritage Foundation about his book focusing on why conservatives work harder, feel happier, have closer families, take fewer drugs, give more generously, value honesty more, are less materialistic and envious, whine less and even hug their children more than liberals.
He decided to write his book after liberals published articles about conservatives. His book is based on research conducted by non-partisan researchers at the University of Illinois and University of Michigan.
Conservatives are much more likely to believe that truth is absolute; liberals think that truth is relative, said Schweizer. Liberal relativism influences behavior and attitudes that people have toward honesty.
Schweizer, a research fellow at the Hoover Institution at Stanford University, said that conservatives give toward people [who] are in need. Liberals give toward the opera and museums.
Ronald Reagan gave six to seven percent of his adjusted gross income to charity. Franklin Delano Roosevelt was very wealthy, and he received equivalent of millions of dollars, said Schweizer. He only gave about three percent of his income to charitable causes.

And, due to projection, they blame conservatives for the traits they actually hold themselves.

That's definitely true. Check out any DUmmie post and you will read how they absolutely loathe personal responsibility and detest the work hard ethic. To the point that if anyone argues differently they are called a "freeper".
And liberalism is a malfunction of the mind.
Liberals can’t regulate themselves but think they have the brains to regulate everyone else.
