Crime is treason to the nation.

Nah, too easy.

We can build all the prisons in the world.

Punishing criminals only keeps them from re-offending.

That’s not a solution.

We need to focus on building strong intact families that will instill strong values into our young people.

So they never commit a crime. The old adage that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure applies here.

“When incarceration rates go up crime goes down.”

Not necessarily. It depends on who you are locking up. If it’s murderers, rapists, armed robbers, and the like then yeah, it probably does have an effect. Unfortunately, since our courts/prison industrial system has adopted a for profit model, it has emphasized use of jail and prison space for things like DUI’s and drug offences which generate more revenue than violent crimes.

In any case, a nation of prisons begets a nation of prisoners. If they build them, they will fill them. Perhaps with violent criminals, perhaps with troublemaking Christians.

We’ve all made the same mistakes.

Forgot to fill in the date on the withdrawal slip and ended up committing armed robbery; forgot to bring a textbook to that babysitting job to catch up on the studies, then stole the kid and demanded two million dollars for his return.

We’ve all been there.

0bama is a hard core Marxist - liberals/Marxists/etc. ALWAYS lie. Why is there any surprise about the outrageous stuff that the turd in the white hut does or says. It's never true.

Yet true believers embrace the lies as their reality.

psychosis is defined as a severe mental disorder in which thought and emotions are so impaired that contact is lost with external reality. The woman described in the link is by that definition psychotic. (and also baboon butt ugly - ever notice how the average attractivness of hard core liberal women is so much lower than the norm?)
