To explain why conservatives are not without compassion read the following.
One time, when I was living in western Washington, I was doing some volunteering for the National Park Service and I didn't have much money, except for the meager stipend for food they provide.
While walking through the streets of Seattle about that time with a friend, a homeless man came up to me and asked me for money.
I only had ten dollars in the world until my next stipend check, about a week away. I gave the man the ten dollars. Literally all the money I had in the world, and just smiled and said there you go buddy.
This was not a blind man, a handicapped person, etc. but just a man not working begging for money.
The liberal thinks that the man needs a social program. The conservative understands that the man needs to get a job.
I understood this too, but I wasn't so stingy as to withhold from the man my entire liquid assets.
Does this make me a hard hearted conservative?
