    Not sure you want to get into the hypocrisy game. On Google there are 2.5
    million English pages about "liberal hypocrisy." Further, any sane person
    would use force to defend and preserve his freedom to be or not to be
    compassionate. Perhaps you know of harm done by compassionate enablers.
