Taro, you're right in saying that liberals often act as if they have a monopoly on empathy and human compassion, which is one of the reasons why I am no longer a liberal.

Thanks, Ten. Don't think anybody could have put this in a better way. Seeming to be and being are way too often two different things. Putting up a screen as opposed to acting the way you truly feel and while doing that feeling good and proud of that are, again, two different things.
Really harbouring a "bleeding heart", feeling that and acting upon it is quite different from bragging about it to other fellow "bleeding hearts".

"Sein, nicht schein" is such a great German way of saying that.
It translates to something like "being, but not showing" in the context of showing off.

I suspect that so called liberals just too often feel a need to hang out those signs to show rather than just acting on it while keeping it private. Because true empathy and compassion like true love mostly is a very private and often almost holy thing.
