"The "compassionate" left would rather have us believe that the detainees at Guantanamo, the murderers and rapists in our prisons, the violent Palestinians and other Islamo-fascists are the rightful and primary objects of our care and concern.
Idiot compassion invents Miranda rights to protect criminals from prosecution rather than allowing police powers to protect innocent citizens.
Idiot compassion is so concerned with the rights of terrorists that it sabotages legitimate Patriot Act procedures designed to protect Americans from murderous organizations.
Idiot compassion is so fearful that one innocent man might be imprisoned that it helps enact laws that insure freedom to thousands of certainly guilty ones, by disallowing evidence obtained against them.
Idiot compassion is so deeply concerned with the feelings and freedom of young women, that it goes to great lengths to insure that these young women are allowed to destroy their unborn children, rather than endure the hardship of responsibility for their sexual conduct."
"Which accomplishes nothing other than reinforcing the making of stupid choices."
The sympathy I expressed is for the "parents and loved ones" of the boy. Read it slowly, maybe it will become clearer to you and you can explain the 'stupid mistakes" they made.
"I didn't say that and neither did the article I linked to."
Try removing your cranium from your rectum before you try to post again.
I do not mean to confuse you with big words. The cranium is the part of the skull that encloses the brain and the rectum is, well try finding a dictionary if you can not figure that one out.
The article was being used as a definition of the difference between true compassion and idiot compassion. I didn't intend that the specific examples given in the article, which was written to address a different topic, were directly applicable to this discussion. That is fairly obvious.

Nice try at narrowing this discussion down to one thing you may have expressed here after you joined right in with the slamming those who didn't have your approved style of sympathy for the ignorance that caused his parents and loved ones the suffering in the first place. Your comment on what compassion is was directed at them and you can't separate yourself from that by revising your position now. Most of your comments were directed at them not your "compassion" for his parents.

That is a good example of the mentality of one who offers gushing expressions of sympathy while simultaneously attacking and condemning others for expressing a lack of sympathy for ignorant actions. You obviously couldn't even discern the difference between true compassion and idiot compassion when spelled out in detail. It is no surprise then that you are one of those parading around your false face of caring for others while lashing out in vicious angry self-righteousness.
Your self-proclaimed moral and intellectual superiority leaves me unimpressed. You are clearly lacking in both. ; )
