I notice you don't oppose convicted criminals and repeat offenders. You're a bleeding heart liberal.
“I notice you don’t oppose convicted criminals and repeat offenders. You’re a bleeding heart liberal.”
If you remember, our conversation on this thread started when you asked another poster who disagreed with you how long he had been in prison. You see I have been having this discussion for years, and when I advocate small local government, strong 4th amendment rights, i often get called all kinds of nasty things by people who value the 2nd amendment (non more than I). So many conservatives love the 1 amendment and the 2nd but hate the 4th and sometimes the 5th as well.
Here lays the root of our disagreement. I would like 20 guilty men to go free than one innocent to be imprisoned.
I believe that a criminals should be punished severely once convicted with due process. By that I mean that a DUI that kills somebody on the road should be charged with murder one.
Rapist, at least the violent ones should never get out of jail.
I also believe prisons should not be rape factories.
I believe that the 4th Amendment should be strong, sacrosanct, and make it very difficult on cops. I believe in small local government. I am in a word a constitutional conservative.
I oppose at every turn the Law and Order Conservative and others like him who gave us the War on Drugs and Prohibition. The guy who wants everybody in jail but himself. I oppose government power as the greatist tyranny.
