Compassionate Conservatism


It was a busy first week for President George W. Bush, who wasted almost no time in getting to work on his personal agenda. After cutting funding to overseas family planning centers, he unveiled part of his bold new social program.

"I call upon faith-based organizations to take their part in helping solve the social ills of our great nation," he said to reporters. When it was pointed out by one that this, in fact, is what faith-based organizations have been doing for years, with often little money for such measures, the President rankled.

"That's the sort of liberal press idealisticisms I've had to stomach my entire life," he shouted, before having the anonymous woman dragged from the room and beaten severely by unnamed men in brown shirts. "It's time for them to put their money where their mouth is. I know the synagogues must have plenty of money. They may as well spend it on something good before they die and go to hell. Besides, 'faith-based' doesn't necessarily have to be a church or something. The Ku Klux Klan has adopted highways, so why not food for the poor?"

Several people in the room became unruly at this point, causing the brownshirts to unleash attack dogs and pistol whip those being uncivil. Shortly after order was restored, the President continued. "Washington has no rights to help peoples of this county out. The peoples money deserves to go where it will do the most goodness: tax breaks to big businesses everywhere."
