SYRACUSE, N.Y. -- Syracuse University professor Arthur C. Brooks is about to become the darling of the religious right in America -- and it's making him nervous.
The child of academics, raised in a liberal household and educated in the liberal arts, Brooks has written a book that concludes religious conservatives donate far more money than secular liberals to all sorts of charitable activities, irrespective of income.
In the book, he cites extensive data analysis to demonstrate that values advocated by conservatives -- from church attendance and two-parent families to the Protestant work ethic and a distaste for government-funded social services -- make conservatives more generous than liberals.
The book, titled "Who Really Cares: The Surprising Truth About Compassionate Conservatism" (Basic Books, $26), is due for release Nov. 24.

Read the book Liberals. You need to be putting some money where your mouth is.

Hey Pip.... notice it's written by a liberal.

Pip: Would you seriously suggest the government is more efficient in handling money than your average charity? Wouldn't a network of small independent charities spend far more on actually helping people than one giant organization?

Even if they read it, it will be lost on them. Their ability to retain knowledge is seriously lacking.

Arthur Brooks is a retard, and a bogus liberal.
He neglected to distinguish where the money went, and lumped too much as "charity" that doesn't really belong. As far as I'm concerned, money given to churches for the purpose of spreading the Gospel isn't charity-- it's a political donation.

not that I care to read a biased book.. but think about it like this... Liberals would rather give threw a regulated system (like the government) where there are people we can trust to handle the money.. rather than donate to a private charity funds that may only use a small portion to do what they say they will do.. think for a moment how much money is being wasted to support these charity funds.. money that could be used to help people...

They'll just come back and say it's propaganda.
They're very hypocritical...and want you to back up anything you say with proof, but don't feel they need to for their own statements.
