Conservatives Really Are More Compassionate

Townhall.com::Conservatives Really Are More Compassionate::By George Will: "WASHINGTON -- Residents of Austin, Texas, home of the state's government and flagship university, have very refined social consciences, if they do say so themselves, and they do say so, speaking via bumper stickers. Don R. Willett, a justice of the state Supreme Court, has commuted behind bumpers proclaiming 'Better a Bleeding Heart Than None at All,' 'Practice Random Acts of Kindness and Senseless Beauty,' 'The Moral High Ground Is Built on Compassion,' 'Arms Are For Hugging,' 'Will Work (When the Jobs Come Back From India),' 'Jesus Is a Liberal,' 'God Wants Spiritual Fruits, Not Religious Nuts,' 'The Road to Hell Is Paved With Republicans,' 'Republicans Are People Too -- Mean, Selfish, Greedy People' and so on. But Willett thinks Austin subverts a stereotype: 'The belief that liberals care more about the poor may scratch a partisan or ideological itch, but the facts are hostile witnesses.'"
