"I’ve seen genuine compassion displayed by people of all political stripes. A relatively new phenom is a rather callous way of saying, “it’s their own damned fault!” rather than, “There but for the grace of god...” Again, displayed by people all all political stripes."

The thing about charity most people fail to realize is that when applied properly it is a tool of compassion and mercy, when applied without judgment and forethought it is a weapon of mass destruction.

But in today's PC climate we are not allowed to judge, because to do so might uncover a truth about a given situation.

One of the underlying truths about a goodly majority of people is that they are akin to water, they flow to the least resistance. And thus if you continue to "hand-out" to people of such a nature the lose all need to "flow" cuz you have removed all "resistance"

You have this exactly backwards. First you uncover the truth, then you judge.
