Sometimes it's good to help, and then tell them, "a liberal Democrat just helped you. Think about that the next time you want to say something awful about us."

I'm getting ready to make a pretty good-sized donation to a Christian charity because they're specifically turning the items around for a local apartment complex that burned down. When they come to pick everything up, I'm going to tell them "I'm an atheist liberal Democrat and I'm still donating. Keep that in mind whenever your preacher or your news program says terrible things about us."
