Yes, but I got to think there are some long-time Democrat supporters, honest enough to take a clear look at the CNN Democrat bias, and realize they have been subject and falling for it for years.

SH, I wish that were true.

I look at my Brother-in-Lib and I despair sometimes. This is a bright, educated guy ...case in point. I was watching a show on some cable channel about a maximum security prison.

and they talked about guys that were in "The Hole". 23 hours in their cell in solitary.

My Bro-in-Lib was horrified. Cruel and unusual punishment... we're treating them like animals...how can they be rehabilitated and become contributing members of society, etc.

These were prisoners serving 20 years to life for extraordinarily violent crimes. They were considered to be too dangerous to themselves and OTHER PRISONERS to be allowed to be in General Population.

They talked about how they'd like to kill a guard.. guards talked about them. Attempting to assault guards...throwing pee and feces at guards... not exactly pillars of any community.

And my BIL is horrified at how we're treating them.

And is then disgusted by my question: Where's your concern for the victims?

According to him, my question is naive.

They don't think like you and I. Everything is based on emotion...which goes a long way to explaining the success of Oprah Winfrey and Dr Phil.
