is there anyone else who has beliefs that are both conservative and liberal?

We're getting better all the time.

Got a ways to go.

Q. How many innocent people are there in prison?

A. We will never know for sure, but the few studies that have been done estimate that between 2.3% and 5% of all prisoners in the U.S. are innocent (for context, if just 1% of all prisoners are innocent, that would mean that more than 20,000 innocent people are in prison).

As long as we have privatized prisons, there will always be people there that shouldn't be. Prison should never be like a business, because you should never be thinking "we don't have enough criminals".

I'm against the death penalty for one reason, and one reason only, we seem to keep convicting people that are not guilty of what they are being convicted for.

If we could fix that then let the heads roll.

I'm for it ONLY in cases where we know 100%...

I can't be a TRUE progressive because there are situations where I think capital punishment is warranted. That allah-fucker in Boston who set off bombs seems a prime candidate.

It depends on which country you're talking about. In European nations, my views are classified as liberal, but in ass-backwards America, some of my views might be see as conservative because those ass-clown Democrats lied that the BS they pass is liberal.

That is exactly how I feel about it. It's why I still sit on the fence about capital punishment....sometimes the innocent go to jail. But I don't feel any empathy for, say, a serial killer. Light 'em up.
