You sound like a troll just trying to stir the pot.

1. St Mark, chapter 25, verse 35 does NOT mention liberalism at all. It speaks to giving. Which, implies that you feel that for some reason, Republicans are less generous and giving to those in need.
2. A study by Rice Univ and PennState came to a conclusion about those identified as liberals or conservatives.
"“We found that while both Republicans and Democrats tend to equally value justice and caring for the vulnerable, Republicans place a much higher value on issues of purity and respect for authority,” said Karen Page Winterich, study co-author and assistant professor of marketing at Pennsylvania State University. “Given these differences, Republicans are more inclined to donate to a charity when these values of purity and respect are met, whereas Democrats are more inclined to donate when the emphasis is purely on equality or protection rather than respect"
Giving Differently: Liberals and Conservatives Have Radically Different Views of Charity
This study is from 2013
3. In October 2014, a study was done using IRS records, which found...
.
"It turns out that old Bushism about “compassionate conservatism” may not be a myth after all. In a new analysis of Internal Revenue Service tax records, the Chronicle of Philanthropy on Monday ranked U.S. cities and states by how much money their residents give to charity. The bottom line? People in red states are more generous with their green.
The study, which compared IRS data from 2012 with data from 2006, showed that the 17 most “generous” states -- as measured by the percentage of their income they donated to charity -- voted for Mitt Romney in the last presidential election. The seven states at the bottom of the list, meanwhile, voted for Barack Obama."
Charitable Giving By State: Are Republicans More Generous Than Democrats, Or Just More Religious?
I am not a Bible scholar, but would ask if someone who knows the Bible...did I miss something.
I might add that most liberals I know admit, to me anyway privately, that liberals have done a good job of purposely painting the entire Republican Party and conservatives as the opposite.
