33. That's an odd notion of "liberal compassion."

Thu Sep 12, 2013, 12:56 PM

Sep 2013

Is "liberal compassion" painted on the side of those cruise missiles?

Is "liberal compassion" stenciled on those crates of weapons and ammunition?

Is "liberal compassion" intervening in an internal civil war in a sovereign nation?

Is "liberal compassion" making yourself de facto allies of radical Islamic terrorists?

Real "liberal compassion" would be addressing the humanitarian crisis we have helped create (and we are doing some of that) and not prolonging the agony of Syria, which has been our cynical policy.

And real "liberal compassion" would be asking just what is the end game?
