I agree with you 100%. That is why I can't for the life of me wonder how the Mccain camp thinks that the Hilary fence sitters would come to his side. Most feel like we do and a vote for McCain/Palin isn't a vote for women's rights.
Thank you for your post.
MONTANA MOM !
Conservatives and "religious" conservatives in particular give more of their earnings voluntarily as in "charitable contributions" than any other group! They believe it is their personal responsibility.
You obviously don't much about them.
I'm not a religious conservative myself but I know a lot about them and they have my utmost respect.
That hate of yours is really misplaced.

Your allegations need to be referenced not just you said it happened. Please provide these facts to go along with your claims.

I keep hearing this as well and all of a sudden I wondered if donations to a church are counted as "charitable donations."

What I'd like to know is if "charitable contributions" mean church tithing in addition to donations to charities.
that's the best you can do? two conservative commentators and one review of a single source?

it seems that the writer changed the significance levels thus reported statistically significant differences in giving where none exist. even your own link admits "Brooks says he started the book as an academic treatise, then tightened the documentation and punched up the prose when his colleagues and editor convinced him it would sell better and generate more discussion if he did. To make his point forcefully, Brooks admits he cut out a lot of qualifying information."

and the author is the incoming president of the American Enterprise Institute for Public Policy Research (AEI), a conservative think tank.
"AEI has emerged as one of the leading architects of the second Bush administration's public policy. More than twenty AEI alumni and current visiting scholars and fellows have served either in a Bush administration policy post or on one of the government's many panels and commissions."
