The same Wall Street Journal that said the terror attack in Norway was a false flag.

You make me sick. “Metering” aid to the poor, when the poverty rate is now around 20%? And you think that cutting food stamps and letting people starve is a good thing.

Your ideas are the reason that Conservatism is so unpopular among my generation. We have compassion you clearly don’t. We have morality. Your side more resembles Sodom and Gomorrah, which decided to be avaricious and greedy, earning them hellfire.

Aw, shucks. You have me wrong. I WANT the lives of the poor to be better. I just don’t see the current programs being an effective way to achieve that end.

As to people starving, have you looked around? Obesity is by far the biggest, fattest nutrition problem today, and the poor are just as deeply involved as the middle class.

Food stamps are not currently insufficient to sustain a healthy weight and activity level.

Compassion without calculation feels good but it doesn’t get results. If you don’t care about the results, though, not enough to think about matching means to ends and making it HAPPEN, what is that compassion good for?
