Maybe by tossing out a few bucks to the dark skinned people who live waaaaaaaaaaay over there they can feel good about themselves and claim to not be racist from behind those locked gates.
No such thing as 'Obamacare'. Which union(s) received a bailout?

Liberals never have to deal with that problem, they just steal money from the rich (rich = anyone with a job according to liberals BTW) and they "give" it to people who need it more than you did.

I guess the truth of the matter is that Conservatives are compassionate with their time and money, Liberals are compassionate with other people's money.

Compassion isn't about money, or even time. You can help people simply by respecting them as you respect yourself, or your own family.

That's why it's funny that "conservatives" are so defensive about this issue, constantly, and why they can only measure unselfishness in increments of money and time.

Heck, you cant even claim they care enough to give their own money becaues they dont.. They have no problem taking yours though..

Because they arent more compassionate. They like to feel that they are helping, we all do, but there is a huge difference in methods and the results..

Ahh, so liberals dont give because they dont want to be selfish.. mm, interesting theory..
Rather than tie my post into the contant, and painfully silly, liberal vs conservative tug-of-war that goes on in this forum, you should have really stopped and absorbed my last paragraph in that post. Remember, that paragraph about the Salvation Army Santa Clauses? I wrote how a person will give money just to make himself feel good, and therefore can be less selfish by refusing to give? Am I clever or what!?

"Obamacare" is a much nicer term than "Complete Democratic failed attempt to fix the US health care system"

Union bailouts = all of the backroom deals that the unions are getting in return for their money to get Obama elected.

Why bother? You'll just attack the source if it's not the Daily Kos or Huffington post, you'll claim that I'm wrong and you'll try to change the definition of every word in every statement just like you're doing in this thread. Why don't you just rewrite the dictionary to make everything mean what you think it should, that would be the liberal thing to do wouldn't it?

I think he/she is referring to those secret government/union meetings in underground bunkers where all attendees arrive in big, black helicopters.

How would they land the helicopters in underground bunkers?

Respect isn't edible. Respect doesn't cover you when it rains. Respect doesn't pay your bills or educate you.

Respect is an admirable trait and a good song though.
