Trout there are different ways of helping people other than merely handing out money.For instance, does is really do anyone any good to have individuals living on (and abusing) the welfare system in our nation. No in fact I would say that these people are often times not only harming others in terms of using resources that they really don't need to use. If an individual can't help themselves due to a mental or physical ailment, then so be it I have no problem with my tax dollars going towards them. However spending money on the people who just is to lazy to get a job, and there are quite a few people like that, I don't think that really helps them, in fact it may just allow them to rely on the system instead of helping themselves, and thus at least in my humble view act in a manner that actually harms the individual who is getting "helped".

Also I am right wing or at least I would like to think so, but when does that mean that I hate my neighbor, or anyone for that matter (intollerant). There are some situations I would like to not be a part of, and all that stuff, but this right wing = bigot or intolerant), has somewhat gotten to me.

There is no real logic to back that up, for a great number of people I know that vote NDP, or Liberal in the Federal Elections but you know what, they are intolerant pricks. But I don't go and think well I guess everyone who is left wing or leans left wing is a bigot, or doesn't tolerate others, as I know it is more of a personal thing than anything else. A-holes come in every shape, size, colour, etc, etc, and that in fact includes political beliefs.

Forgivness? Huh? When does being right wing mean that you don't forgive people. And you know what there are some people that I don't care about, let god forgive them, because I am not prepared to forgive them, and what they have done. There is no way in hell I am prepared to forgive rapists, murderers, cop killers, pedophiles, or people of their ilk. Explain to me how that makes me a worse person, if we take into account that Jesus is perfect and is able to forgive others.
