Yeah. The above statement sounds ridiculously, hyperbolicaly prejudiced no matter how it's phrased.
I don't care if it sounds ridiculous. That has been my experience. I'm not claiming that non-religious conservatives are very charitable. The most charitable people tend to be religious conservatives, regardless of income. That is a fact.

I don't think you understood the irony of my post. Nobody would expect angry, vocal tea-party members to be charitable. I don't know if they are charitable but there would be no expectation for them to be. They're not out there yelling about wanting to help poor people. Angry liberals, on the other hand, are making all this noise about how much they care about poor people, yet when it comes to putting their money where their mouth is, they don't do it.

The only "angry liberals" I tend to see were those sticking flowers in the barrels of National Guard rifles in the 1960's

And you always have those anarchists trying to incite revolution
