I’m a little ready for some compassion for working Americans and those who want to work without the taxed enough already problems that we have.

When the politicians rail against the Tea Party who they’re really angry at is the peons that feed them. Perhaps I’m being silly, but I always figured that when you’re milking a cow and all you’re getting is blood you went a little too far.

And soon they start demanding the master bedroom and the keys to the car. They start dictating what you can have for dinner and what you can watch on TV. They leer at your daughter and blast their music all night long. They brag that they outnumber you (now that they’ve brought in their friends and relatives.) And they make it clear that if anyone is going to leave the house, it’s YOU.

Very well stated, sir. If the church would take more seriously its charge to “care for widows and orphans in their distress”, government handouts might well dry up - a cure looking for a disease well under control.

Discriminatory compassion is illegal-
A govt cannot have compassion on illegal immigrants and at the same time have no compassion on LEGAL Immigrants who have to wait 10 YEARS for JUST one family member to be allowed to join them LEGALLY in the USA.

Easy to be compassionate when you’re using other peoples’ money.
