Freedom and Compassion

The Instawife provides answers to a few personal questions.

Her reply to this one is beautiful:

I thought you would be a sweet psychologist who was out the save the world from the oppression of a capitalist society. Do you have no compassion for the poverty stricken, the disabled, victims etc.?

I am the epitome of capitalism--it is the only system that holds human nature accountable for its failings. I despise socialism and victimhood. From a young age, I believed that the rights of the individual and freedom were the most important principles a nation could stand for. Compassion is not telling people what to do and giving handouts--it is teaching people to stand up and care for themselves as best they can.

The Instapundit is one lucky dude.

Thanks for the compliment.

It's -5 degrees Celsius here. Blogging sure does counter the cold. :)
