    That you are unaware that calculus is part of math says volumes.

    The Chinese not only invented a compass but the sailed around the world during the Dark Ages. They came up with silk, porcelain, paper, movable print typesetting and a mechanical clock. The invention of the printing press dwarfs computers and the abacus was in use for millennia before the computer came along.

    The whole world was NOT wallowing in the Christian Dark Ages. That you are making this about "white men's science and technology" says that you have an odious agenda that supports the confirmation bias behind your obvious lack of subject matter knowledge.

    Right, like the left won't force a Christian baker to cater a homosexual "wedding" or go out of business. "Equal rights for all" only means in lefty-speak "special rights for those we favor".

    Conservatives are NOT more generous at all. In fact they give primarily to themselves rather than to the needy.

    And yet white men had to invent the printing press and the clock independently because the Chinese kept their inventions to the emperor and his minions. My agenda is only odious to those with the odious agenda of disparaging the white man and stamping out his civilization.

    That you believe that anyone is trying to "stamp out" the "civilization" of "white men" is an admission of your odious agenda.

    That study quoted by the LA Times specifically skewed the results by taking religiosity out of the picture. From the study: "Thus, across both datasets, the same findings appear: while there is strong evidence that conservatives, on the whole, are more charitable than liberals, this finding disappears after adjusting for other differences between conservatives and liberals." In other words, conservatives who don't go to church are just as stingy as liberals. Wow, big surprise. And then this from the next paragraph: "the bivariate relationship indicates that Republicans give much more than Democrats (B=1.12, SE=0.19), a percentage difference of 201%. While the magnitude of the effect decreases once we control for income and then church attendance in the second and third columns, Republicans still give 85% and 110% more than Democrats, respectively. In the fourth model where we control for both income and church attendance, Republicans donate approximately 34% more than Democrats." So even your own study concludes Republicans are more generous than Democrats, even after controlling for income and church attendance.

    No, religion SKEWS the results because a lot of their charity money NEVER gets to those who actually need it.

    Nonsense

    It is the liberal bleeding heart welfare state that perpetuates poverty in America

    Americans have all the tools and oppertunity needed to be successful in America

    There is no excuse for poor people in America except their own wrongheadedness

    No I am blaming the adults who were once children themselves that liberals fawned over in their time

    Those children grew up to be uneducated, lazy and lacking personsl responsibility

    And are now the adults having children themselves

    It was a bad GOP/Libertarian idea that democrats in the 90’s fell for

    Clinton gave us NAFTA and free trade with red china

    But certainly every slush fund baby in washington of both parties had a hand in it

    The Founding Fathers would horsewhip most present day consevatives in the street. I once heard someone compare Trump it Andrew Jackson. I don't know if Old Hickory would challenge Trump to a duel or just beat him up in a barroom, he was a man who kept up with changing times

    If only that were true. It's not the victimized ethnicities that certain white people put into cattle cars and sent to death camps Nobody is disparaging the white race by AGREEING with exactly what you yourself say about it.

    There WERE no Dark Ages, this is the first thing even an unabashed cultural determinist like Kennnth Clark says in his seminal work "Civilisation" The Dark Ages saw the invention of the Horse Collar, which enabled peasants to use faster horses to pull the Moldboard plow and turn the furrows deeper so mankind could begin to expand settled farming into the Northern Forests, there to apply the African invention of crop rotation, and this is just one example of the enormous technical advances that were revolutionising mankind the world over in the centuries from 400 to 1000, Dark Indeed. The very use of such a term shows how shallow and superficial your real knowledge of history is . You prattle on about made-up divisions of millenia in history's seamless web as if they mean something and then, piling ignorance on top of misunderstanding, use them to impose silly theories about races that don't exist either. Back to High school, miscreant, and this time READ the textbook you were given, while applying some thought to it instead of just noting how welll Brenda Brogden wore her sweaters

    There is not any significant difference between the liberalism of the Founding Fathers and liberals like myself today when it comes to equal rights for all.

    On the other hand there is a yuuuge difference between the BLOTUS supporters and the Founding Fathers when it comes to equal rights for all.
