US research shows that conservatives are more generous than liberals. Perhaps you might think that is because they have more income to be generous with. Well no. Have a look.
People who reject the idea that "government has a responsibility to reduce income inequality" give an average of four times more than people who accept that proposition.
I wouldn't be surprised to find they give more of their time to charitable efforts as well.

Conservatives also donate more time and give more blood.
- from the article you refer to.
Overlooked that.
No wonder we have a blood drought here.
Of course they donate blood. Look how generously the donate the blood of others to war in Iraq!
My question is how constitutes a charity? Does giving to a church count? Could this mean that conservatives give a lot of money to churches -- some of which are far from charitable?
Anon - you mean like Obama giving most of his charity donations to his church which just built his ex-Pastor a 10,000, 3 car garage house?
A study last year also showed that conservatives were more generous than liberals in giving to Hurricane Katrina relief funds.

Sorry, that should read 10,000 square foot house.
