Do you mean afraid:in denial? ;-)

Denial? No, exactly the opposite: neurotic fear that's statistically
and factually unjustified.


Conservatives, and especially religious conservatives, tend strongly to be
generous, civil, social, and civic-minded (those are statistical facts)
and less driven by fear (my opinion.)

Oh, yes! They have Faith! (which is really just belief without evidence.)

And hope. And charity. Look it up.




It's easy to be charitable when you're awash in cash. The rest of us
realize, you can't give from an empty vessel.

But Da Gubmint takes it away anyway. >:-[

You are a liberal, aren't you Rich! You evidently haven't met many poor
or lower middle/ upper lower folks, have you? Or maybe you have always
been in cities or something...

I have found that most folks are extremely generous, and willing to lend
a hand when they don't have a buck to contribute. Out there in the
heartland, where the Republican might comes from, they believe in hard
work, and looking out for each other. They don't believe that the
government is required to 'make everything right,' they just have to do
their part as they find a way to. So, whether you have only a few
bucks, or make a million or two a year, you help out where you can.


Right. Mean people suck, and good people are a blessing. And it
doesn't matter what you say, it matters what you do.

I can remember a "barn raising" when I was a kid. Much like the barn
raising in the movie "Witness", except my grandparents weren't Amish.
Amazing what friends and neighbors can do to help each other... no
cash involved.

Hey, my gay next-door-neighbor lets me use his chain saw, and he's on
my DSL... we drilled right through the walls of our houses (one
loooong drill) and fed a Cat5 through. Now I can use his wi-fi which
is, well, my DSL.

sure that the usual morons will make the predictable jokes. Go for it.
