How Liberals Make Thing Worse

There is a series called “Gangland” on the History Channel that airs every Thursday night. I wish every American would watch this show, especially the episode covering MS-13. Perhaps then the sleeping dragon would wake up long enough to eject these vermin trash from our country. Anyway, the episode last night was about a gang known as the Texas Syndicate. Though they originated in California, their numbers and power grew in Texas- and in the prison system of that state is where they really became what they were.

The story of their rise to “greatness” contains a lesson clearly lost on everyone on the left side of the aisle. Most self-identified “Republican” politicians too. During the 70s, the Texas penal system was not easy on inmates. The inmates were forced to work on chain gangs- that’s where there are five or so prisoners chained together so none can run off, and they dig ditches or something. Guards stand nearby with shotguns, just incase someone tries something stupid. In the prison facility, the hardened prisoners, most of whom were convicted of crimes such as rape or murder- and those who weren’t still had probably committed such crimes- knew that if they stepped out of line, they would get a beat-down from the guards. Yes, a beat-down. The animals known as inmates were kept in line like animals; they were treated with respect IF they showed it first. The vast majority of the time, their lesson didn’t have to be learned the hard way. When they did, it usually took only once.

Then, in the very early 80s, a perverted concept of civil rights showed up. This is when the Texas Syndicate found it possible to grow in numbers and power. I can only assume that the ACLU was behind all this- it’s a good bet- and all of a sudden, chain gangs were not allowed. Cruel and unusual, apparently, was it to force murderers to labor while the tax payers fund their room and board. Of course, you can forget about physical punishment of inmates who needed it. Give them cable TV, HBO- yard time with a full set of weights with which to work out- to fill that void. The ever so liberal idea was that these new policies would make the prison system more humane to the inmates.

Well, before I get to the ironic (and moronic) part, let me first tell you that this new, lax environment is what allowed the prisoners to truly act out their animal instincts. They got in the now outnumbered guards’ faces, threatened to rape and kill them and their families, and often attempted- and undoubtedly occasionally succeeded- in attacking the guards. I know the liberals have no care for prison guards, or “the man,” as they probably regard them, but I still think this occurrence is important to understand. It was this chaotic, violent environment that enabled the Texas Syndicate to take form.

Now, the real irony is that the humaneness of the prisoners’ lives fell dramatically. It plummeted. Because the guards could no longer punish a prisoner for acting out occasionally, they all acted out. Mostly on each other. Lines were drawn on racial and ethnic backgrounds, gangs formed, and inmate-on-inmate violence soared. Beatings, stabbings, gang rapes, all were commonplace now. These new, “humane” policies not only resulted in the formation of terrible, subhuman gangs… they resulted in the worse imaginable environment for the inmates as well.

I hope you’re thinking what I’m thinking: how retarded.

Here’s the trick. Now that these prisoners have all these “rights” (“inmate rights” is a concept almost laughable, if you ask me) to carry out their animal-like behavior, no one will take them away. No one will even try to go back to the good days of chain gangs, in which guards were free to whip the inmates into line. When the prisoners had to earn their keep, and actually pay their debt to society through work rather than sitting around. The ACLU would surely defend these animals’ rights still, despite the slew of supposedly unintended consequences that make life worse for everyone. And I mean everyone. The inmates, the guards, and the citizens outside. The sheer insanity of it all is enough to make you dizzy.

This, my readers, is what liberals do. They come in with ideas, theories, stuff that sounds good- to some people- on paper… and it fails in practice. God forbid we stick to something that we evolved over hundreds if not thousands of years and has shown to work wherever tried. A prison system that treats prisoners like prisoners!? No, no… let’s try it the way that has always failed. You know, the way that didn’t work last time, or the time before, and, going back to ancient times, still didn’t work. It’s the humane thing to do, after all. If you ask me, sometimes a little ruthlessness is the most humane policy. Sun Tzu would agree with me. When you think about it, it really is no wonder that liberals STILL think communism can work.

Let us face the facts. Violent offenders are despicable scum, their actions have shown that. It is an insult to the rest of us to even call them human. Actually, considering how animals treat each other, it is an insult to call them animals, too. No cruel and unusual punishment? Fine, that is a good policy. We will not torture our citizens (the constitution only applies to American citizens and foreigners in our borders legally, by the way), we will not be overly cruel, no mutilating and such… and this is a good thing. The founding fathers knew this. They did not want the government to abuse its power. I have no objections with that.

However, the founders would also have approved of the Texas penal system in the 70s, and I guarantee you they would scold everyone for letting it turn to what we have today. They taught us that the government exists to protect the people- and that is what the old Texas system did, and it was within the bounds of the Constitution. These animals need to be locked away and kept in line- and prevented from forming dangerous organizations that flood our country with violence, intimidation, and drugs. The only logical solution is to run our maximum security prisons like Texas did in the 70s, nation wide. They worked. And, maybe execute some of the worst offenders, but that is a different debate.

Logic be damned, the ACLU will have us treating these prisoners better than outsiders until Americans get organized enough to stand up to liberals like ACLU lawyers and take their power away. Some day, I hope, the ACLU will be seen as the anti-American organization that it is and be disbanded due to lack of funding and interest. Maybe they can even be sued, or even prosecuted for aiding and abetting the enemy- like Islamist terrorists. Don’t think that they haven’t.

It all starts at the water cooler. Letters to the editor. Around the dinner table. Even in the college classroom, impossible as that seems today. And, of course, in posts like this that I hope enough people will read and pass on. Not for fame, just to get the message out. It is long past time to take our country back. I want everyone to know this story and its lesson. Because this is just one of countless examples of: How Liberals Make Things Worse.
