In today's news, one of the big stories is that restaurant chain Chick-Fil-A announced that it was reducing the number of charities to which it contributes but increasing the amounts given to each of the remaining ones. Many see this as a surrender by Chick-Fil-A to relentless pressure from the left and in particular the LGBT community since some of the charities cut off opposed gay marriage. One of the more bizarre charities on that list is the Salvation Army, a charity that helps millions of people in need without regard to their sex, sexual orientation, race or creed. The militants on the left, however, see the Salvation Army as anti-gay. Actually, they are just Christian.
I'm not going to get into the middle of the debate about which charities Chick-Fil-A should support. I think we should focus elsewhere. Here's the key question for me: To what charities do these leftist activists from the Gay community and elsewhere give? In fact, do they give to charity at all? Surveys have shown that conservatives give a much higher percentage of their incomes to charity than progressives. Are these leftists complaining about charitable giving by conservatives when they don't give anything themselves? I'd like to know the answer to this.
