I think the left feel powerless without violence. The right just pay for violence to get the job done.

More likely because they're Christians, and Christians are more generous than heathens.

"In relation to "the poor man over there", the left's response is to lavish benefit spending on him, trapping him into a culture of benefits. The right's response is not to ignore him, but to try to set in place a system where the person can get back on their own two feet."
The left requires the government in an extremely wealthy country to give a living wage, not send the workers into destitution so the well to do can put even more money into their bank accounts.
So what system is this that enables the unfortunate to enable themselves, it doesn't exist does it, trickle down doesn't work it's a con, give to the wealthy and they just keep it, give to the poor and they spend,. Which is better for the economy?

actually if you look at personal giving, Americans tend to give far more than Europeans do, right along the social ladder. That may be due to the fact that we now expect our government to act with a conscience, meaning we dont have to.

Marston, are you suggesting the left sent money and the right sent self help leaflets?

Following on from Stewie's post earlier maybe you can settle this argument.
We've got the help the hammers in need fund. You could go through the donations and work out who's been the generous, the left or the right, you could even put it in a pie chart.
if the stereotypes are to be believed it will be nearly all the caring, selfless left (dapalo, whoicidal, ray winstone, kronic etc etc) that make up the vast majority of the donations.
unless, of course, you've got too much on.

"They're not though are they, they're more "woe is that poor fellow over there being", it's called empathy even sympathy, the very substance of humanity missing from the selfish greedy right"
You see, this sort of idiotic tendency to label the right as heartless and greedy goes straight back to the original piece, in which the point was made that while those of the right can pre-suppose what a leftist response would be, those on the left cannot.
In relation to "the poor man over there", the left's response is to lavish benefit spending on him, trapping him into a culture of benefits. The right's response is not to ignore him, but to try to set in place a system where the person can get back on their own two feet.
It's actually the (majority of) the left's inability to empathise with modern, liberal thinking that damns them to their infantile stereotyping and hate of the 'other'.

Apparently having right wing views means you have a low IQ according to studies. More likely to be into religion too. I reckon they should go one further and state factually they're more likely to buy The Sun.

A couple of people I know booted me from Facebook because I didn't vote Labour.
Shame that.
Then people of that mindset are genuinely stunned with the election result because their FB feeds tell them everyone thinks like them.
It doesn't say much for a political viewpoint that it cannot tolerate alternative opinions. It's a fundamentalist position, and if those people were born in the Middle East, they'd probably be full on decapitators.

The centre right has a right to violence too. But there's been no need as we've had centre right governments for the past 30 odd years. And because the centre right are scared mincey suburban stiffs.
