The Democrats often talk about how much more compassionate they are than others. But if they gleefully enjoy an attack on a powerless toddler because it fits some political agenda they have shown that there are severe limits to their compassion. They are too ready to mold their feelings to agendas and quotas set from on high for their feelings to be seen as any more than a conditioned response to orders from their leaders. These do not qualify as actual human feelings originating in the heart. In the end they are not distinguished by having compassion but rather by a near nonhuman readiness to follow orders and mold themselves to some norm they have little or no part in creating.
I would be afraid to give such people any power in the run-from-Washington health care system they want to institute. Who and what they will find worthy of receiving support and resources will be in constant flux. They are too conditioned to take direction from above. Their leadership will rule by fiat and they see it as their duty to obey. The shallowness and inconstancy of their feelings indicts them as unworthy to run or design a humane healthcare system.

An excellent point. In many small ways, Obama and his healthcare advisors have shown little compassion. We have seen Obama cavalierly stride away from his disabled professor friend from Harvard, leaving him to lean on the arm of the Cambridge cop to get down the steps; we have seen Obama try to get injured military vets pay for their own prosthetic limbs, we have seen legislators deny seats to elderly men and women who came to their offices to petition against ObamaCare (in NY and CA that I know of). I fear a health care program in the hands of people who won't perform the most basic act of compassion of offering an elderly man or woman a seat or assistance in going down a few steps. If they can't provide this minimal care, exactly what kind of care are they capable of providing?
