The same people who have no empathy for caged children once cheered for letting people die.

From 2011

Wolf Blitzer put a terrific question to Rep. Ron Paul at last night's CNN/Tea Party Express Republican debate in Tampa, Fla. What should happen, the moderator asked hypothetically, if a healthy 30-year-old man who can afford insurance chooses not to buy it—and then becomes catastrophically ill and needs intensive care for six months? When Dr. Paul ducked, fondly recalling the good old days before Medicare and saying that we should all take responsibility for ourselves, Blitzer pressed the point. "But, Congressman, are you saying the society should just let him die?" At that point, the rabble erupted in cheers and whoops of "Yeah!"




They cheered and whooped and hollered at the idea of letting fellow citizens die in the streets.

And now we wonder how someone could possibly not have empathy for children ripped away from their parents and put into cages.



Face it. They are beyond salvation and trying to cater to Trump-voters is to join evil.
