A Comparison of 2 Posts on my Facebook Wall (Compassion-Charity)

i also did a rare "comment on a liberal post" move this morning on that media matters pic:

quote:

---

pretending that you are generous with other people's money is not being generous. government is not charity. believing in doing good for people instead of relying on government is not a sign of a lack of compassion. it is the opposite

---

Liberals don't believe in charity. Even though they claim to be lovers of humanity, they must inherently believe people are bad because they think compassion should be mandated with the barrel of a gun.
Which is paradoxical because if people are bad then why do they put so much faith in government which is comprised of nothing more than shitty arse people?

You do FaceBook?

More so, SF...in regard to the folk who are voting for and demanding that their responsible fellow citizens be charitable...are they charitable and responsible themselves? Or are responsible folk essentially forced by 'mob rule' to subsidize folk who have little or no charity, responsibility or virtue? Should it matter? Do them that make moral demands on others...owe anything?

Because if it does matter, and we (Authoritarian Socialist Ideology) are in essence subsidizing immorality...then the suicidal chickens are on their way to the roost.

All that glitters is not gold. And... "there is a way that seemeth right unto man...but the end thereof is destruction" (Biblcial).

I guess it takes compassion as well to take my money against my will.

The problem with the first post is true charity is not derived from an immoral act, theft. Until liberal secularist realize that government has to commit immoral acts to achieve their ends we will never become a virtuous society where minimalist government is rarely needed. If society was based more on hope, faith and charity (Judeo Christian principals) the less government we would have.

Right, liberals are very compassionate with other people's money.

I agree with her. People throw out the word "compassionate" in this situation as if it means something. It is a hollow usage of the word.

It isn't compassionate unless there is personal choice. Forcing someone to act in a way that you deem appropriate does not make you or the other individual compassionate.

I'd prefer my government show less emotion on both spectrums.. Emotion leads to rash decisions and unintended consequences that inevitable snowball into more emotion and more mistakes.. It's a perpetual wheel of uncertainty.
