While I agree that the American incarceration rate (especially for nonviolent crimes) is incredibly disturbing, this is the thread for things you like about America. If you want to make a thread where people can list the parts of America that suck and need improvement, I will happily contribute there too :)
Those figures are not correct. You have to take into consideration that approx. 30% of the prison pop. is foreign nationals who snuck into our country.
What figures are not correct? Where did I give a single fucking figure in my post that you quoted but apparently didn't even read?

"Hope and change?" Oops, never mind.
"Lower taxes?" Oops, never mind.
"Transparency?" Oops, never mind.
"A healthcare system we can afford?" Oops, never mind.
A govt. that will enforce our laws?" Oops, never mind.
A govt. that will keep us out of anymore unneccessary wars?" Oops, never mind.
A govt. that gets us out of free-trade deals and sets conditions in this country to promote more jobs?" Oops, never mind.
A president who won't "bow" to dictators?" Oops, never mind.
A congress who listens to The People and not lobbyists on K Street? Oops, never mind.
A govt. who won't "default" to China and also won't default to people on social security?" Oops, never mind.
This is too easy.
You're completely right on that. Obama is far more conservative than his campaign led people to believe.
