I do know from personal experience that conservative actually care about the human condition on this planet and are often the first in line to help others. What I don't know is if you and others seriously believe that conservatives don't care about other people.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that the relationship between charity and political persuasion isn't as simple as "group A" gives more than "group B".

How does one arrive at the conclusion that conservatives don't care about others?
My premise is that both conservatives and liberals care about others, but they differ in how it is to be done. Do you agree or disagree and why?

I donate blood regularly about 3 times a year. Not a religious charity. One of the sources cited shows a difference in blood donation between "red" and "blue" states. I anticipated the "religious charity" issue and chose a non-monetary, non-religious issue on purpose.
Again, just because I may not care about the specific charitable causes you believe in does not mean I don't care about charitable causes. I fight against being forced. There is a big difference.
