I'm most happy this morning to link this piece from Politico in which we see a return to compassionate conservatism. I've always held out quiet hope that people like Glenn Beck and Hugh Hewitt would come around and it looks like they have.
In an op-ed for POLITICO Magazine on Thursday, Hewitt argued that now isn’t the time to discuss the border fence he has long advocated.
“Right now the country ought to act to end the humanitarian crisis of tens of thousands of what are, in effect, orphans and strangers in our land. The very young among them should find ‘forever families’ right here, right now. They should become Americans,” Hewitt wrote.
Exactly what Jesus would do!
On his Tuesday evening broadcast on his cable channel TheBlaze, Beck directly addressed the parents of child immigrants, tears in his eyes as a scrolling marquee translated his monologue into Spanish, begging them to keep their children at home for their own safety.
“Please would you consider doing the hard thing as well would you resist the temptation to flee or break up your family, please don’t hand your child off to a smuggler in the middle of the night,” Beck said. “I can’t sleep at night thinking about your son or daughter and so I and about 150 volunteers and multiple semi-trucks are going down to our border and we will see your child … and we will care for them.”
Care for them...that's right. That's what we do in this country.
Because we are a Christian nation:)

How many illegal immigrants do you have living in your house Mark?
Zero? Not very Christian of you. Hypocrite.
So, you are happy that people are addressing one of three parts to this issue? Great, I agree that as a people and a nation, we should take care of those in trouble. America has been the biggest and most active leader for people in need of help. No other nation comes close...
So, care to deal with the actual problem rather than a symptom? How did this happen? Why are people here en masse and illegally?
What you are 'happy' about is like we have a plumbing leak and that we have a bucket to put under the leak. Now we have two problems around that. How do we fix the leak and where do we dump the water. Yay, Beck and M agree that we should have a bucket!!
Funny, but you didn't care much for the guy that originated that "compassionate conservatism". As I recall he was the root of all evil in this country (if not the world).
How many illegal immigrants do you have living in your house Mark?
He gave at the office. None of his business any more except as a stick to whack non-Progressives with. Of course, we all "gave at the office", too. So for Mark to demonstrate his "Good Christian" bona fides, he needs to do more than just "give at the office". At least, a non-hypocrite would see it that way. So, of course, our little Marksie doesn't.
