Briefly browsed through the topic. I take it that I'm one of the minority who doesn't subscribe to this "free lunch" logic.

To me, if the frog doesn't have stuff to add to the pot, then he better be the one ladling up the soup for the rest. Lend him a hoe, teach him gardening, sponsor him some seeds even. But he better come up with something by the fifth potluck.

The joke here is that apparently all these people are friends and they're all invited to the same lunch. I can't imagine any conservative no matter how staunchly "pull yourself up by your bootstraps" would turn down someone in that situation. In fact if I'm not mistaken conservatives are more charitable, statistically.

I believe the charitable stat mostly refers to the church going conservatives. I would also guess a lot of that money is going to the church of which they frequent.

But this illustration being taken more literally would probably be followed by conservatives and liberals alike. Well that is until the 5th dinner when the frog has still contributed nothing and he no longer gets invited.
