[StBernard] Compassion

[Westley Annis]

It's amazing to me how many people think that voting to have the government
give poor people money is compassion. 

Helping poor and suffering people yourself is compassion. Voting for our
government to use guns to give money to help poor and suffering people is
immoral self-righteous bullying laziness.

People need to be fed, medicated, educated, clothed, and sheltered. If we're
compassionate, we'll help them, but you get no moral credit for forcing
other people to do what you think is right.

There is great joy in helping people, but no joy in doing it at gunpoint.
