Both sex and guns can result in life long and life changing consequences.

I dunno ... you get that stuff in your eye, and it's pretty nasty.

You miss my point. I did not take his statement as regarding the criminal justice system alone, but as far more reaching in a condemnation of conservatives that are apparently by definition in support of imprisoning the poor for being, well, poor.

I am not intimately familiar with the justice system. I am, however, familiar with numerous conservatives and am one myself.

If you get it in someone else's eye, it's even worse!

I'm not intimately familiar with the justice system either. I'm on the outside.

One doesn't have to be a criminal defense expert to see my point. One need only pay attention to the tone of conservative opinion pieces or conservative talk radio, which, I admit, may not provide a 100% accurate sample. To my mind, issues of criminal justice, immigration reform, etc. should be approached with sadness, humility and pragmatism, not the righteous indignation and self-congratulation that one so often hears from the right.

If a parallel is needed, I would also agree that those on the liberal side take too much unreflecting pleasure in advocating higher taxes on "the rich."

As I've said before, government is a devil with two penises.

Um, yeah. Judging political parties by listening to talk radio is like judging science by watching the "Health and Fitness report" presented by the evening news. I don't think all conservatives are like Ann Coulter, same way I don't think all liberals are like Michael Moore.

This is what I get for being polite. Yes, they are. I think politicians and pundits on both sides of the aisle consistently pander the perceived desire of their constitutents to see somebody f***ed over. The different constituencies simply identify different persons/classes as "the other" in whose throat the boot of government should be firmly dug.

Remember when dear Ann wanted those two guys who threw a pie in her face to be imprisoned and sodomized? Lovely.


Speaking of prison, I wonder if a chastity ring would work in there?


Oh no thanks, I'm saving myself for when the right inmate comes along.

[innerSpaceman]

^ tee hee.


I don't know if I'd quite describe it a boot to the throat, but I admit I'd like to see each gazillionaire pay $100,000 more in taxes each year to fund all the crap the government they own outright decides to pay for.

How many conservatives will admit they want the streets rid of every person of color, and don't care if that throat-boot comes via death or segregation to the place where Sac's chastity ring won't do the trick?
