"Compassionate Conservatism" <1> means becoming personally involved in people's lives, not just throwing money at their problems. Just giving people money deprives them of the chance of having a little of your good sense rub off on them. And it also robs them of their dignity. In most cases it is sinful (Dare we say a "hate crime"?) to just give people money.

"How do I show that I am a compassionate person, then?" you may well ask. My husband Boyle and I have prayed hard over this issue, and the good Lord has revealed to us these ten easy tips. And since we've compassionately donated over $100,000 dollars this year, we've saved ourselves $400 on our annual United Way donation. Christian charity AND an additional day at the spa! We do have an awesome God!

4. Return Stolen Shopping Carts
Once a month the men in our church walk through poor neighborhoods rounding up "borrowed" shopping carts. It's important to leave the contents with whomever is using them. If it's more than an armload, dump the contents neatly on the sidewalk. Remember, you're not there to judge - love the sinner, hate the sin. Count the value of returned shopping carts as a $125 donation.

7. Household Expenses
Hiring immigrants to do your housecleaning, gardening, and cooking is one way that you can hasten their assimilation into American culture. View it as your Christian duty. Don't pay them. Donate seed money to them to start their own lovely Christian homes.

And be sure to vote for Bush. If he wins, you can register as a "Charitable Choice" and use other people's (heathens) taxes to pay for your household staff's "assimilation training".
