Excellent question. I'm not a Liberal so I think if I were to donate someone else's money I would feel like a hypocrite.
I believe that Liberals get a warm sense of accomplishment from forcing others to do what they (liberals) think is right.This begs the question of if it's right to donate money to a cause, why don't the liberals do it themselves?

Your money was originally someone else's money and the reverse is true as well. I believe that our society's possessive mindset for money is not healthy and implies a bankruptcy of the soul.
In September, author Jeremy Seabrook succinctly brought up the poverty of wealth and here's an excerpt:
"Is it by chance that the noblest spiritual strivings in Christian tradition have all been redefined: faith is now vested in the power of money; hope resides in its transformative power, while charity means giving money, the coin in the box or the cheque in response to a natural disaster?
What is a poverty of the heart? Is it the supreme selfishness of individualism raised to ideology that sees the fate of each separated from that of anyone else: is it the fragility of human attachments, frail bonds, provisional loves and transient involvement that fill the world with the human wreckage that provides so much material for counsellors, experts, advisers and leaders of other people's lives? What's in it for me? This is the first question in any relationship or transaction; what do I get out of it? What are the returns, is it a sound emotional investment, where is the pay-off?"
(On the charitable level I give money as a last resort after being personally unable to do something to improve a situation. I therefore have mixed feelings after doing so.)

The same way you cons feel sending someone else to fight in a war that you claim to "support", but won't actually put your own life on the line and fight in.

Yes I see how you whine everyday here about it. I personally don't whine that much.
