Red States More Giving

(Nashville - PhilValentine.com) The left-wing media would have you believe that being liberal means you're natually more

generous.  However, as the following chart demonstrates, the 'red' states, ones that went for Bush, were the biggest

givers to charity.  This study, conducted by The Phil Valentine Show, blows a hole in the whole 'mean-spirited

conservative' argument.  "The age-old conventional wisdom is liberals are more compassionate but this study blows

that theory out of the water," Valentine said.
