I have some hairy reasoning that may not stand up in court but it stands to reason.
Prisons are full of people with impulse control. Emotionally higher strung. Getting mad. Jumping to conclusions. Being offended by a mere inadvertent slight or by someone's funny attitude. Jealousy. Envy. Inability to delay gratification. Impulsiveness. Selfishness. Petulance.
Prison seems like a bastion of Liberalism.
Conservatives are more deliberate. More rational and reasonable. More cerebral. Slower to anger. More likely to be able to delay gratification. Sensible. More logical. Less animated than Liberals. More in control of their emotions.
Watch any reality show with prison inmates and you will see what I mean.
If that doesn't work for you, check out that motorcycle gang reality show on Discovery. Or the FX TV series, Sons of Anarchy.
I find biker gang behavior is really easy to see the Liberal tendencies of the members.
No, I probably WOULDN'T tell them that to their faces.
But it stands to reason.
So, what I hear you saying is that you can see the Conservative tendencies in...........serial killers.
That actually wasn't what I was saying. But, I can see how you might be correct in guessing serial killing as being a Conservative's type of crime.
A sicko Conservative, but one who definitely wasn't apt to lose control of his twisted emotions.
EDIT: Say, where'd you come up with that, "Conservative tendencies in...........serial killers" thing?
That's rather insightful and/or quick thinking and/or knowledgeable of you to say.
Or were you just taking a cheap shot with no real thought behind it?
It is simply the opposite of what you are attempting to describe. It wouldn't hold up in court. Although, we could always take it one step further because we are looking at mens rea. Following that logic we could say that any crime that was methodically executed has Conservative tendencies. It stands to reason this would include many white collar crimes and crimes that involve careful planning (some theft, bank robbers, gang bangers involved in racketeering,many murderers, many rapists, child molesters, hackers, kidnappers).
The reality is that this is a very slippery slope. It's a pretty dangerous card to play.
Over 60% of people in the local jails have mental health issues. Approximately 30% in prisons are mentally ill.
And I'm telling you that the numbers of Liberal hard wired inmates FAAAAAAAAAAR out numbers the Conservative inmates.
I've never been in a prison.
I just grew up with a bunch of guys who lived there for a while.
And the idea that my defending my argument by wrapping my arms around the Conservative convicts who broke the law, is a ridiculous Liberal notion.
If a person broke the law and is convicted and imprisoned, my feeling is they did the crime. Now they should do their time.
Only Liberals would think of defending members of their party over upholding and enforcing the law.
Conservatism is one thing.
Criminality is another.
I support Conservatism.
Inmates are exempted from my defense unless I believe they have been unjustly convicted.
Not a slippery slope at all.
You betray the Liberal mindset which must have failed to adequately protect US from the crazy, extremist, radical Progressives which invaded and conquered the Democrat Party and steered the United States straight to the garbage dump.
Hell, that is why the Right is so adamant about the Benghazi thing.
Obama & Hillary et al. have that same Liberal mentality.
Personal matters outweigh what's best for the USA.
Putting party before Country.
The Liberal mindset is what got us into the mess we are in today.
Yeah, I know...
GWB was just as bad...BLAH BLAH BLAH!
BOOOOSH!
