I don't have a soft spot for felons. But I don't have a soft spot for tyrannical government, like you do.

People who simply own what the government calls high capacity magazine a felony. So you are okay with them getting a longer sentence than a murderer or a pedophile? Because that happens? A person should get a longer sentence for IRS crimes than murder? Our system is based on the punishment fitting the crime. In my view, stealing a slice of pizza is not as bad as murder. Why you do is a mystery to me. The government considered protesting abortion clinics a very serious RICO crime. Even today, their are laws that make certain nonviolent protests of abortion clinics a crime. You really believe that is a worse crime than rape or murder?

By the way, from your response I take it, if the government made being a Christian or being a conservative a felony, you would be okay with it? Or you are soft on felons?

Do you really believe the story posted? Stealing a slice of pizza isn’t a felony. The 3 strikes law is 3 felony convictions. If you want to take the side of those folks, you have more in common with Holder than you do with conservatives. Three felony convictions, you’re out, doesn’t conflict with the constitution. Don’t put words or thoughts about what is criminal in my mouth or writings, you’re showing your liberal roots
