It's easy to be compassionate with other people's money. That is what liberal have been doing for generations.
Liberals are compassionate with taxpayer money while conservatives are compassionate with their own money.
How is it compassionate when the federal government confiscates property and wealth from one group of people with the police power of the state and then gives it to other people?
Wonder how long it'll take before Katrina victims get 9-11 like payments to forswear lawsuits. This is a dangerous and probably unconstitutional exaggeration of the role of the imperial federal government.
