The basic premise is off base:

"Liberals" have never been any more or less compassionate than conservatives.

In fact the overthrow of monarchies, rise of unions, and the explosion of state sponosored hand-outs were all accompanied by violence. Violence ultimately against people.

Liberals in today's market are merely supporters of centralized and all encompassing state power. Their ideology is control and their means of control is the same bread and circuses that's been used throughout history.

It is still a debate between individual and group rights, individual and group responsibility, and ultimately the value of the individual versus that of the state.

If the trains are on time and the people don't riot too often, if the states affairs are in the hands of a suitable elite - liberals are content. Take a look at California today, the trains are literally off the tracks and the left is NOT trying to fix anything - only fighting to keep their elite in control.

All the gnashing of teeth and rending of clothes over Uday and Quasai, quagmires, and cowboys, is a reaction to potential loss of control - just that.
