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.

Wonder where the stats came from. Sounds about right though. Libs are so
into themselves that nobody else matters. Perfect examples can be found
right here.

Wow, so you don't contribute to charity because you figure if there are
enough dead people in the streets maybe the government will step in?


Do you even give as much as a Canadian gives to charity?

What an idiot you are. Churches are some of the largest institutes
that take care of the destitute. Just one of thousands of examples:

http://www.olivergospelmission.org/

You can be sure that it's conservatives and their donations that fund
this highly successful organization. After all, as you say, liberals
don't have a church and don't believe in taking care of their fellow
man themselves. They'd rather have some faceless government agency do
it for them.

No one said you didn't give any money to charity, just that you give
very little of your money to any charity.

But just a post before this you wrote: "most liberals dont have
churches. we believe in govt organziations to take care of the
poor..."

Now you're holding up the Red Cross as your organization? You do
realize that the Red Cross isn't a government organization, right?
From their own website: "the Red Cross is an independent, volunteer-
led organization, financially supported by voluntary public
contributions and cost-reimbursement charges." NOT a government
organization.

So what is it, idiot? Government organzations like you first said, or
the Red Cross after you changed your story? You do realize that
conservatives and *churches* donate to the Red Cross, right? It's NOT
a liberal organization, idiot.

This has to be donnie. No one else can present as this stupid.
