...liberals are actually less compassionate and more selfish than conservatives, according to surveys of liberals and conservatives cited in Peter Schweizer’s "Makers and Takers: Why Conservatives Work Harder, Feel Happier, Have Closer Families, Take Fewer Drugs, Give More Generously, Value Honesty More, Are Less Materialistic and Envious, Whine Less . . . and Even Hug Their Children More Than Liberals."
The surveys include the General Social Survey, which regularly asks thousands of Americans their attitudes on a range of issues. Conducted by the University of Chicago and the National Opinion Research Center, the survey is considered among the most authoritative in the world.
Responding to this survey, some 71 percent of conservatives say they have an obligation to care for a seriously injured spouse or parent, compared with 46 percent for liberals. Asked if they would endure all things for the one they love, 55 percent of conservatives say yes, compared with 26 percent of liberals.

In doing so, they underscore how successful Democrats and the media have been at creating myths about them. ...
