Why do conservatives tend to lack compassion?

[BoberFett]

I think it is more like,

Liberal - Promise to give a woman a man's fish, and you have a vote for the next election.

And if you disagree with that you are engaged in a "War on Women.

:biggrin:

I'm a proud cunsrvuhtive. I bought my daughter a puppy just so that I can tie it up in the cold rain for hours, drag it back in the house, and kick it while she watches. I beat my stay-at-home wife with my 20 pound family king James 1611 bible because she doesn't work. I attend a snake-handling baptist church and regularly do it with my sister. I troll around at night in my F150 looking for unarmed negros to shoot.

Any more brain-dead cliches you want me to spout?

 

[Genx87]

I find it scary people think making somebody a ward of the state is compassion.

 

[darkewaffle]

The same reason liberals tend to lack backbone. Wait, you mean that's a stupid generalization too? No way!

 

[Skitzer]

We have seen it time and time again, conservatives attack the poor and less fortunate. Telling those with terrible illnesses who can't care that they should basically just die. How they would take food from the mouths of the poor and let them starve to death.

Why do conservatives tend to lack compassion?

Why do you tend to troll just about every time you post?
We get it ... you have a psychotic hatred for conservatives.
Also, how is this politics or news? Are you commenting on an article? Link?

 

[highland145]

Wasn't John Smith pissed at the Aristocrats who thought they were above working?

Probably but the more immediate concern was starving to death.

I believe it s from the bible

Thessalonians 3:10 or something I believe.

2 Thessalonians 3:10

For even when we were with you, we used to give you this order: if anyone is not willing to work, then he is not to eat, either. 11For we hear that some among you are leading an undisciplined life, doing no work at all, but acting like busybodies.

So if you can't work from injury or some other debilitating sickness/disease, you don't deserve to eat?

No.

Well of course not because you're just a burden now. Kind of like cutting $500M out of medicare.

I hope they don't lock this thread. I think it is a good question.

Republicans just voted down the Buffet rule.

They vote themselves tax breaks and re-distribute wealth to the top (themselves) while doing all they can to trounce all others.

This is not what the founding fathers had in mind for this country.

It has become something perverse at the hands of these people.

And many people vote Democrat on promises they will lower their taxes and give them more free handouts.

You, dmcowen674, are nothing special. You are not important. You try to think you are smart, but you are just another individual pissed off at society, where at this point, no one cares why anymore.

Can some Conservatives please list the GOP's acts of compassion because I just Googled it and my computer is still laughing it's ass off.

All I came up with was wealth transfer to the top and decimate every Social safety net we have but I don't think that's it....

 

[Hayabusa Rider]

Do you want a list of GOP acts or those of some who are generally Conservative? Heh, nevermind. This is about the thrill of the chase of the political snipe

Any would suffice!

 

[BoberFett]

Let's talk about Democrat success stories. Chicago. Detroit. Washington DC.

Yep, utopia brought about by the compassion of Democrats.

If you want a serious response there was a local church who needed people who had skills in carpentry etc. They were rebuilding a town in Jamaica which was destroyed by weather. At the time I had sufficient resource to join so I did for two weeks. Everything, and I mean everything, was bought and paid for by those who went. These people were certainly Conservative in a traditional sense with a strong sense of nation and support of the Constitution. They were generally lower middle income and spent years saving for something like this. They do it every three years and each time it's a fortune for then.

Anyway I went and yes there was prayer and people talked of their faith, but they went to work and they did. We didn't sleep in a resort, people put us up in their modest homes. We ate their food and spoke to them, not a tour guide. I learned that virtually all outside help comes from people like this, who believe in "go and do likewise", which I posted about earlier. The work was half done, but in a couple weeks a new group from another denomination was doing the same thing and completed the job. There's a lot of this and it goes on all the time and you never hear of it.

People made a significant personal sacrifice by spending money, taking their vacations to do this and often unpaid time off to help those who could not help themselves. They didn't shove a bible down anyone's throat but they weren't ashamed of what they believe either. They believe that compassion isn't an option and if it's a matter of faith so what? They don't believe it's a get out of hell card to be played. It's something they do if they can.

Like liberals all conservatives aren't bad.

 

[Paul98]

Because they think everything they have is due to their own work or lack of work. That if they work hard they will get everything they want. Everyone who isn't rich is lazy and didn't work hard enough. That the work someone does defines them as a person. Thus if someone is poor or having problems it's only their fault for being lazy.

That's quite a piece of convoluted thinking...but I suppose if you actually believe what you posted...your denigration of conservatives is "rational" in some twisted way.

It seems like what you are implying is that maybe some people deserve help for being unable to support themselves for situations that are not their fault.

Unfortunately for you I have never heard liberals wanting to construct a program based on people "deserving" help. But only because they "need" it.

WOW do you miss the point of every post?

 

[QuantumPion]

Why do liberals think they are compassionate when their ideologies and policies have led to more human misery, suffering and death than any other since the dawn of man?

You forgot to include San Francisco,Silicon valley, Seattle and Austin, Texas.

I should have been more succinct, Acts of compassion from the GOP in both Washington and the State level.

 

[QuantumPion]

LMAO!

Hiter, Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot, Korea, Viet-nam, etc etc >100,000,000 dead. Way to go. You are officially more evil than all wars over religion combined.

How about expanding the Child Tax Credit which was done under George W. Bush.

How about the Medicare Prescription Drug Benefit done under George W. Bush.
