It's never been about being "right" to "deny a starving man bread," it's about who should take on that role of feeding the man. If you hold, as I do, that government should have a very limited role in this world, one that protects liberty and property rights - protecting us from foreign threats (military) and the man down the street (police) - along with a few public goods, then it is up to us to act as individuals with charity in our hearts to help that starving man without requiring the federal government to decide how much, when or the method of that charity. Unfortunately, there are also those in the world who are simply selfish a-holes that tarnish the rest of us.
And pragmatic doesn't mean saying "No" every time.
Conservatives have have a fetish of meanness. They started with the entirely true statement that it is right to deny a lunatic a gun. They put on that conceit of "I'm doing the right thing even if it's unpopular. YOU NEED ME ON THAT WALL!!!!" and then went on to self-justify that it is "right" to deny a starving man bread.
And so today they smugly spread their bile everywhere, thinking they're heroes.They passed "tough but fair" 25 years ago and now are simply reflexive animals, slathering up the praise of their billionaire masters. "Whooooo's a good supply side dog? Youuuuuuuuu are, that's who!!!"
