Liberal charity is an oxymoron because liberals give to charity at much lower rates than conservatives.[1][2] Instead, liberals attempt to replace charity with government power and control.
Several liberal belief systems are particularly uncharitable. Nearly all hospitals are built by religious foundations, governments and people, and few Homosexual charitable organizations exists to deal with anything other than promoting the Homosexual agenda. Feminists are also notoriously uncharitable.
Several liberal-promoted charities, such as the Susan G. Komen Foundation, even send donated funds to anti-life groups like Planned Parenthood (founded by eugenicists) affiliates that promote abortion, especially in predominately Black neighborhoods. The Susan G. Komen Foundation issued a statement in 2009 asserting that "we are assured that Planned Parenthood uses these funds only for breast health education, screening and treatment programs." The statement further states "two Catholic ethicists ... examined the moral implications of our funding decision ... They concluded that it was morally permissible for the [Catholic] church to be involved with Komen in light of its funding agreements with Planned Parenthood."[3].
Note that there are some services for which government cannot replace private charity, in a free society. Blood donations are an example of something that government can never provide. But as liberals increase the size of government and squeeze charity out of culture, all forms of charity, including ones that government cannot provide, decline.
One major exception to this trend is the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the nation's largest charitable foundation. Its major donors include billionaire businessmen Bill Gates and Warren Buffett, both of whom supported Obama in 2008. Bill Gates strongly supported government spending to stimulate the economy after the economic crisis of 2008[4] and in 2008 called for a "capitalism that serves the poor."[5]
