“You must have compassion. You must ache for the poor and disenfranchised. You must fear for the vulnerable. You must weep for the ill and infirm. You must pray for those who are without hope. You must be kind to the less fortunate.”

When I heard those words, I thought: That’s the message American men need to hear. That’s a message the American people need to hear.

It is ironic, given that many on the Right insist that the US is a Christian nation, that the values espoused here are essentially the teachings of Jesus. They really should get around to reading that book they call the Bible more often.
