Socialism at the Gates

I gotta tell ya, I'm kind of sick of the empty cry of socialism every time the government tries to do something. Rob Tornoe always get people in an uproar on his Facebook account (and it is fun to watch) but inevitably someone starts talking about socialism-this or socialism-that when Rob talks about some egregious act done by corporate America.

The Pawlenty Pardon

I don't like ill-considered pardons being used against Governors turned Presidential candidates. A small possibility of clemency built into the machinery of our modern prison industrial complex is not a bad thing. If every Governor feels that they may be haunted by the future acts of someone who seemed deserving of mercy, I see the possibility of clemency evaporating.
