compassionate conservatism is like that
last meal
before the hangin’
that anti abortion pro death penalty
schizophrenic
compassionate behavior

compassionate conservatism
WANTS YOU!
to believe that they
actually have souls and hearts
and that
trickle
down
economics is actually
compassionate

compassionate conservatism is about
reaching out
to the poor
with batons and not cattle prods
clearing the area of homeless
before
going live on
t.v about
their
compassionate conservatism

compassionate conservatism is
stepping over
the homeless
instead of
kickin’ them in the side
thank you

compassionate conservatism is the
embodiment of
all that is wrong with
this country
trying to force that / shit
down our throats
like
laura bush knocks / golf balls
in each
hole
or
the token servitude/negrotude of
colin powell
who can open the door but
still
can’t sit at
the table

compassionate conservatism don’t even
sound right
like
radical pacifists
“We want peace, and we’ll kick your ass if we don’t get it”
semantics and neuromantics
to confuse generations
raised on infomercials
and
rock da vote!

Fuck them

The only thing they are
passionate about is
preserving
conserving
serving
themselves
