Why do conservatives allow liberals to get away with
painting conservatives as hate-mongers, who are uncaring and uncompassionate
when by their very own actions liberals show hate and a lack of understanding
of what is true compassion? How is it logical that anyone could believe it is
compassionate to by force take the income of one person and funnel it to the Federal
Government, who then funnels it back to a different part of the country that
some politician believes is worthy of “societies” compassion? Whether it is a
king, a dictator or a group of elected officials how is this unjust
redistribution of wealth any different? The answer it is not!
True compassion comes from the heart and not the barrel of a
gun. True compassion takes effort on the individual to determine a worthy cause
for his or her kindness. A society that teaches its citizens to seek out those
in need, through charities or individual giving, is a truly compassionate
society. It is proven time and time again that conservatives are more compassionate
through the number of dollars they give to charities vs. so called
compassionate liberals. The problem with liberals is they want someone else to
take ownership of compassion. If a liberal can pass a law that forces their
brand of compassion upon society they feel good. If conservatives take it upon
themselves to help another person they feel good. Tell me, which one is truly
compassionate?
On can
look at the current administration to see how back words and uncompassionate
liberalism is in action. The current administration is determined to hurt charitable giving
through its tax policy. The current administration is showing it’s egotistic,
elitism by stealing from one group of citizens to give to those it feels more
worthy. No, liberalism practices a false compassion, which leads to a less
efficient way to help others and teaches laziness to citizens so they fail to
put real compassion into practice.
