I have donated over $100.000 to save Haiti, but it is obvious, i am the
only one doing so. According to Charity Navigator, too many of my
fellow liberals like to talk the talk, but don't know how to walk the
walk.

Who gives the most in America: conservatives or liberals?
A. There is a persistent stereotype about charitable giving in
politically progressive regions of America: while people on the
political right may be hardworking and family-oriented, they tend not to
be very charitable toward the less fortunate. In contrast, those on the
political left care about vulnerable members of society, and are thus
the charitable ones. Understanding “charity” in terms of voluntary gifts
of money (instead of government income redistribution), this stereotype
is wrong.

The fact is that self-described “conservatives” in America are more
likely to give—and give more money—than self-described “liberals.” In
the year 2000, households headed by a conservative gave, on average, 30
percent more dollars to charity than households headed by a liberal. And
this discrepancy in monetary donations is not simply an artifact of
income differences. On the contrary, liberal families in these data
earned an average of 6 percent more per year than conservative families.

These differences go beyond money. Take blood donations, for example. In
2002, conservative Americans were more likely to donate blood each year,
and did so more often, than liberals. People who said they were
“conservative” or “extremely conservative” made up less than one-fifth
of the population, but donated more than a quarter of the blood. To put
this in perspective, if political liberals and moderates gave blood like
conservatives do, the blood supply in the United States would surge by
nearly half.
