Conservatism is compassionate by its very essence. The “compassionate” label has been added to appease liberals and those wishing to distort conservatism into an evil notion.
Conservatism honors citizens by giving them what they deserve-- fruits of their labor and non-discriminatory dignity. Conservatism does not first look to ones skin color, religious belief, physical condition or whatever precedes the hyphen before the word “American”. Instead it looks for the greatness inherent in all Americans. Greatness that does not come from a federal program funded by public extortion, but that greatness that we all possess.
Quite simply – in this age of emotions and symbolism we seek to package things so that it will sell. The word “compassionate” is only an attempt to have people look further into the truth behind conservatism.
