Conservatives support charities.

Charities help the poor.

Government wastes money on everything it does.

[cripplecreek]

I’m all for helping the truly needy and that means both helping them find a way out of poverty and making poverty an uncomfortable place to sit.

[fwdude]

More like, paying most teachers is a waste of money.

[GeronL]

Government programs are not helping the poor, for sure.

[needmorePaine]

The first problem (among many) is the incorrect political spectrum at the top of the quiz. Communism and Fascism aren’t really that far apart.

[mountn man]

How about the liberal studies done, where they find out that conservatives are more likely to give or volunteer more and more often than liberals?

[con-surf-ative]

Institutionalized insanity. The questions on this quiz are so liberal value loaded no rational student could ever get an A.

For most conservative students, academic success consists of telling them what you know they want to hear, while knowing the truth is otherwise.

We’ve spent about 30 TRILLION dollars just since 1965 and it doesn’t seem to be working. A trillion is a thousand billion and a billion is a thousand million.

i help those that need it.

If, by “helping the poor”, one means providing them an education which will enable them to lift themselves out of that unfortunate category, then helping the poor is never a waste of money. If, on the other hand, “helping the poor” means giving people money for doing nothing (except voting Democratic), then it is indeed a waste of money. Giving people money for doing nothing destroys their natural hunger for accomplishment, turning them into complacent do-nothings.

Nothing guarantees poverty like dependency on government. Therefore, I am against handing out money to able-bodied people, as it will keep them poor.

“I am for doing good to the poor, but...I think the best way of doing good to the poor, is not making them easy in poverty, but leading or driving them out of it. I observed...that the more public provisions were made for the poor, the less they provided for themselves, and of course became poorer. And, on the contrary, the less was done for them, the more they did for themselves, and became richer.” -Benjamin Franklin

The answer to these attempts to brainwash the youth, is to demand a reasoned debate on Jefferson's brief but irrefutable discussion of how Welfare actually once worked in newly independent Virginia. The key is correctly structuring the issue--and persisting in doing so, until those engaged in the deliberate mischaracterization are finally forced to engage on the actual issues.

See Jefferson On Welfare.

I have found that there is an effective argument against virtually everything that the Left proposes--or has proposed--within the historic struggles of the American people.

[Kickass Conservative]

You help People that CAN’T help themselves, not People who WON’T help themselves.

Signed, a mean Conservative... LOL

[Amendment10]

The corrupt federal government looks for constitutionally indefensible ways to make citizens dependent on the government in exchange for their votes.

[martin_fierro]

Funny, they never show where gubmint's other hand is stuck.

[Kirkwood]

Conservatives are the most charitable people in the world, but they don’t throw money away and call it charity.

[Ray76]

The teacher should immediately be removed from the classroom, fired, and escorted off the property.

[Don Corleone]

Common Core social studies.

[FlingWingFlyer]

If we're going to "help the poor" with MY MONEY, I want to do it. I don't ask for anything in return.

I don't want some thieving DemocRAT STEALING MY MONEY and giving it to the poor in exchange for their votes. That's boo****!!!
