Are conservatives against any kind of charity?

[WilliamPamer446]

[OlderAndWiser]

Not at all. I think conservatives are very generous with their finances. Conservatives oppose being forced by the government (taxes) to contribute to charitable causes that the government selects for us.

[Chazmatazz269]

Generally, no. They’re actually very in favor of charity. Effective and efficient charity could do away with government entitlements. That would make conservatives very happy! Ell oh ell!

Pretty much. We were part of a group trying to raise funds for this 5 year old with leukaemia and we were bombarded with hate from right wingers branding it communisim.

[joeldalton]

bullshit.

[WilliamPamer446]

Hey there Anonymous can you give me any more information? Not personal information about the child, just a little more info so I can have more context

Typically the left wants to tax everyone, and then use tyrannical government to redistribute wealth to friends of the left practicing cronyism. This is more commonly known as robbery, like the Nazis did to the Jews. Typically everyone but the left wants the government to leave them alone and maintain their freedom to spend their earnings how they please. This often translates into far more charitable contributions within their local community to assist their friends, family, and neighbors. It's a different outlook on life. For the left it is authoritarian dictatorship that creates inequality favoring the communist party. For everyone else it fosters independence from government and a freedom to be charitable however they please. This may lead to unequal distribution of charity, but so to does cronyism from the left. If the left practiced the same principles as everyone else they would have less taxes and more money in their pocket to be charitable with in their local communities.

That's a funny thought. Conservatives far out contribute to charity then liberals do. But liberals proclaim to the skies that they are more charitable, because they get the government to use other people's money for charity. Yet the facts don't lie

[exitseven]

Why would you think that? I bet conservatives give more to charities than liberals. Liberals are usually the ones with their hands out.

[WilliamPamer446]

Im just used to conservatives being suspicious of people who who says they need money and think that because of money fraud in the modern world somehow jesus words were irrelevant. I have autism and adhd and its overwhelming when conservatives say they believe in jesus but then appear cold to a person who is struggling financially against dynamic forces, and assume laziness on the persons part.

[WilliamPamer446]

That can be overhwelming.

I asked this question to see peoples insight, as I have not pondered this topic in awhile.

[WilliamPamer446]

I wanted to see what chairty they support and dont.

If they see it as a personla choice.

If they think its good, bad or neutral to give someone your money to help them in an individual casual way without organizations.

[Snakeyes7]

No, if anything they are all for it. Or rather they would take that over taxes because charity is voluntary while taxes aren't. It's funny how a lot of soycialists can't tell the difference between taxes and charity.

[slatyb]

They are in favor of charities funded by other people.

[KostasKouvalis]

They donate to Wounded Rapists. Eh sorry, Warriors

[WilliamPamer446]

What would Jesus do

[WilliamPamer446]

you know the guy conservatives talk about

[msc545]

As long as they don't have to contribute money or time

[WilliamPamer446]

jesus gave everyone time

[Anonymous]

They are more charitable than the genocidal liberals

[joeldalton]

What do you think?

[WilliamPamer446]

I think they are hypociritcal about this and become against it just do to the liberal democrats bad ideas

[WilliamPamer446]

I think they are at fault when they are hypocritical. its not liberal democrat fault. what happened to that personal responsiblity they talk about

[WilliamPamer446]

they need to stop taking out there political angst on the wrong people. that makes me mad.

[WilliamPamer446]

i think they are at fault when bad consequences happen from them being stubborn about charity just because they dont wanna "donate to liberal chairities" and they make every excuse and they take that "nowadays people are scammers, unlike in jesus day" sht to far that doesn't mean you dont invest your time in other people

[joeldalton]

Every study done has shown that conservatives have been more charitable than liberals. So your entire premise is wrong.

[WilliamPamer446]

Source? And dont start getting on me man if thats what your doing. I was just sharing my opinion

[WilliamPamer446]

"If something doesn't apply to you, you won't get mad"

[joeldalton]

Look it up yourself. You know how to google. You’re being ignorant and factually incorrect in your opinion.

[WilliamPamer446]

Google? and yeah thats your opinion but I dont come on here to fight I come on here to see peoples opinions and converse to form my own. Im letting u know that cuz im getting over whelmed. I wasn't trying to attack you or insult you when I shared my opinion

[joeldalton]

Yeah, google. You’ve heard of it, right?

[WilliamPamer446]

Yes I've heard of it. Ill look into it. I have autism and adhd and I am overwhelmed today I've been trhough a lot of stuff and mental pain and it I can have a hard time handling conflict.

I ask these questions to figure something out. I wasn't attacking you. Can we continue this convo in a peaceful way?

[WilliamPamer446]

For the google thing, Its just that Google can give inaccurate results and I want accurate poll data from an independant source. I am intelligent and analytical.

[Pterodon]

Nope

[WilliamPamer446]

what charitys would you give to.

For me, I would give to independant organizations and help people out individually.

I would like to help certian causes like black and poor impoverishment, but I think its better I equip them with knowledge and help them figure out strategies on there own so they dont need to rely on a corrupt government.

I am suspicious of democrat or republican sanctioned organizations as I see both political parties as corrupt.

I believe in equipping people with knowledge and in giving them money but the knowledge part helps but sometimes knowledge can only get you so far in the face of certain obstacles and they need a helping hand, either financially, emotionally or trying to open up room for them

[Pterodon]

I’ve given to the Red Cross

[Iron_Man]

No way
