Let this be a lesson to all conservatives, the more compassionate you are the more they will compare you to Hitler. So shove the compassion and balance the darn budget.

What strikes me most is that G.W. laid out a program, PEPFAR, in which he set specific goals for prevention, treatment and care:
The result is that with careful oversight, the program has been an astounding success.
Which leads me to ask why it is that liberals can not openly lay out an agenda supported with facts, objectives and debate the merits?
Could we, for instance, do health care reform planning in the open, without the demagoguery and with specific targeted goals that would have a sunset provision in order to reconsider what has worked and what has not?
I agree with Herman Cain’s assessment of liberal “debate” and style: When pressured, they shift the topic, ignore the facts and end up name calling.
In the case of PEPFAR, Hillary Clinton threw her arms around it in November, 2012 and walked off as its Grand Matron.

There are a few video clips out there of Bono praising American taxpayers and George Bush’s leadership in getting the program passed through Congress. I couldn’t find the vid, but I remember an interview in which Bono also specifically singled out Orrin Hatch as being instrumental in helping get it passed. There is another clip of Elton John praising American “conservatives” and George Bush for the program.
Our press may not tout the program much, but British rock stars know who deserves the credit: American taxpayers and Republican political leaders.
(For some strange reason, the “copy and paste” function of my clipboard won’t let me copy the urls here. But they’re easy to Google.)

Perhaps one of the reasons Bush was so successful in this regard is that he didn’t/doesn’t see HIV as a homosexual issue but a human issue.

I submit that the real heros are America’s worn out and tapped out taxpayers (living and those yet to be born who will get stuck with the tab).
I’m all for releiving suffering where possible but compassion is spending one’s own time and money, not someone else’s.

The heros here are the burned out, tapped out US taxpayers (current and future) that pay, and will pay, for all this global dogoodery while many of our own people suffer from circumstances they’ve no control over.
Compassion is spending one’s own time and labor, not money seized from others.

Liberals will find their shame about the same time Stalin would embrace capitalism.

Men like Bush Jr and Romney may live up to the Christian ideal (even if Romney isn’t literally one), but the fact remains that in this day and age, the righteous man who does not boast (or at least broadcast the fact) of his good deeds stands in danger of condemnation by venal souls who would seek to usurp him.

The rage by leftists against Reagan was not just because he did not take AIDS on as a priority agenda. He is blamed for causing the AIDS epidemic by “not even talking about” AIDS. Tony Kushner did a seven-hour yarn called Angels in America blaming Reagan for AIDS. Apparently, AIDS would have been stopped in its tracks if the “great communicator” had just joined Nancy and told the naive folks in the STD exchange group to “just say ‘NO’” to unsafe sex along with drugs.
Now, Tony Kushner has a new play: “The Intelligent Homosexual’s Guide to Capitalism and Socialism with a Key to the Scriptures — Tony Kushner’s socialist spectacular.” This is all true to form. Kushner is a typical leftist red-diaper baby elitist who has skipped the vulgar life of common workers, professionals, farmers, collared employees (blue or white) and all those who trudge the endless circle of making a living, a family, a life. Kushner and his liberal echo-chamber cohorts are the only elite they tolerate.
Beginning in the late 60′s many college students began to shift from traditional studies to “fuzzy-studies” where they could substitute compassion for critical thinking and reason. They were no longer in search of the “truth” and concentrated on relativism and shifting the university to become a stage for attracting attention.
Allan Bloom called this action by leftist students “an elite shortcut to political influence.” Bloom noted that it “is very difficult to distinguish oneself in America, and in order to do so the student substituted conspicuous compassion for their parents’ conspicuous consumption.”
Liberals have gone down this road ever since. They are, of course, relativists, organizing around “conspicuous compassion” and they are all full of the psychobabble inhaled from the penumbra that emanates from their fuzzy studies and political correctness and their special brand of tolerance.
Along comes stupid old cowboy G. W. Bush and that village idiot comes up with a program that actually has great results in fighting AIDS in Africa and in doing so, ChimpBushHitler violates the narrative. The facts must be ignored and their legend preserved.
