Not really kind or compassionate, socialists are really the enemy of compassion.

Within days of the devastating earthquake that struck Haiti on Jan. 12, 2010, 29 American volunteers and I became quickly embedded with the 82nd Airborne Division of the U.S. Army. Alongside our military mentors, our hands and souls touched the bodies of the dying and the dead. Our doctors tended the injured. Our educators moved swiftly to establish schools and normalcy for the youth, many of whom had been abruptly orphaned in the disaster that killed as many as 300,000 Haitians.
President Barack Obama deployed about 22,000 U.S. service men and women to Haiti, on one of the most extraordinary missions of support in humanitarian history. No other country in the world offered the generosity of support to the Haitian people that ours did — with our church groups and other NGOs, the money and supplies sent by average citizens. Perhaps most moving for those 30 of us was the extraordinary humanity, respect and commitment offered Haiti by our soldiers.
On this pale blue dot Earth that we call home, the Haitian people are our neighbors, to whom our support is both the policy of a great America as it is a sacred duty.
While nothing could bring back those hundreds of thousands of lives and little could console their families, from day one there was not a broken street I could look upon from the ground without thinking, This can be fixed. Or rather, I can fix this. But soon, I came to realize: Only the Haitians themselves could fix this. Our true sacred duty was to understand the support they may need in their effort.

Who is Sean Penn?
It is not a duty or obligation of the government.
I actually don’t want a president who is “compassionate” to anyone outside this country. Because his job is THIS COUNTRY. Just like I wouldn’t want a husband who felt that his job was to love all women. Know what I mean, Sean?
Brain-dead leftist speaks of things he knows not.
some dude with a short dick and intelligence.
Shorty Penn?
Dear Sean:
You dick.
Sean Penn is the enemy of intellect.
How’s that thing going in Venezuela there bailing boy?
...and he got the tattoo to prove it...
Sean “Spicolli” Penn, hollyweirds village idiot, finally shows up.
Sean, better to be silent and have people think you’re an idiot than to open your mouth and let people KNOW you’re an idiot.
Spicoli also defended Clinton henchwoman Cheryl Mills' ineptitude in Haiti, calling her "one of the most valuable players in Haiti...She has made an incredible impact despite the things that have gone wrong...Cheryl Mills is someone Haiti needs right now."
What Spicoli is REALLY upset about is that Trump was elected. Indeed, a strong argument can be made that despite (or perhaps because of) Spicoli's meddeling and Clinton corruption Trump’s Visit to Little Haiti May Have Helped Him Win Florida.
This is all theater for 2020. If Spicoli REALLY wanted to help, he'd move to Port-au-Prince.
Penn’s tribe call him white nose.
Says the guy that hugged a dictator.
More importantly, why is the 82nd Airborne being forced to play the role of re-building shithouses?
How come he isn’t Moved to Venezuela with his reward money for turning in El Chapo
I don’t think Sean knows what the word COMPASSION means.
How many women did he sexually harass?
Thanks Sean for telling us what a wonderful person you are. How many Haitan orphans did you bring to your home? I’m sure it was a bunch. What would the world do without people like you? Pardon me whille I barf.
