United States Leads the World . . . AGAIN!! -
12-10-2006, 02:50 AM
Did you ever wonder if the Godly United States of America, with all the corrupt politicians and perverted Telly-Tubbyvangelists popping up in the "news" lately, is truly taking a hard line against criminals, perverts, and junkies? Well here's proof that the United States does more than any of the Godless nations of the world in protecting its citizenry from evil influences, and works tirelessly to punish those who would corrupt God's Chosen People!
PRAISE©!

U.S. Imprisons More People Than Any Other Nation

WASHINGTON (Dec. 9) -- Tough sentencing laws, record numbers of drug offenders and high crime rates have contributed to the United States having the largest prison population and the highest rate of incarceration in the world, according to criminal justice experts.
A U.S. Justice Department report released on November 30 showed that a record 7 million people -- or one in every 32 American adults -- were behind bars, on probation or on parole at the end of last year. Of the total, 2.2 million were in prison or jail.
According to the International Center for Prison Studies at King's College in London, more people are behind bars in the United States than in any other country. China ranks second with 1.5 million prisoners, followed by Russia with 870,000.
The U.S. incarceration rate of 737 per 100,000 people in the highest, followed by 611 in Russia and 547 for St. Kitts and Nevis. In contrast, the incarceration rates in many Western industrial nations range around 100 per 100,000 people.
Groups advocating reform of U.S. sentencing laws seized on the latest U.S. prison population figures showing admissions of inmates have been rising even faster than the numbers of prisoners who have been released.
"The United States has 5 percent of the world's population and 25 percent of the world's incarcerated population. We rank first in the world in locking up our fellow citizens," said Ethan Nadelmann of the Drug Policy Alliance, which supports alternatives in the war on drugs.
"We now imprison more people for drug law violations than all of western Europe, with a much larger population, incarcerates for all offenses."
Ryan King, a policy analyst at The Sentencing Project, a group advocating sentencing reform, said the United States has a more punitive criminal justice system than other countries. "We send more people to prison, for more different offenses, for longer periods of time than anybody else," he said.
Drug offenders (junkies) account for about 2 million of the 7 million in prison, on probation or parole, King said, adding that other countries often stress treatment instead of incarceration.
Commenting on what the prison figures show about U.S. society, King said various social programs, including those dealing with education, poverty, urban development, health care and child care, have failed.
"There are a number of social programs we have failed to deliver. There are systemic failures going on," he said. "A lot of these people then end up in the criminal justice system."
Kent Scheidegger, legal director of the Criminal Justice Legal Foundation in California, said the high prison numbers represented a proper response to the crime problem in the United States. Locking up more criminals has contributed to lower crime rates, he said. "The hand-wringing over the incarceration rate is missing the mark," he said.

Praise Jesus! It won't be long until we can lock up every non-true Christian and Freedom shall reign supreme here in America, just as God intended it! GLORY!

Amen! And once we re-elect GWB and scrap that pesky constitution, we can start locking up all the perverts and God-mockers and atheists and feminazis, etc. A Bible-based set of laws is what we need! Jesus knows what we need!!

What about executions? Are we #1 for that, or are the Chinkadees still in the lead? Remember, the Holy KJV 1611 contains a lot more references to capital punishment than to imprisonment.
O Lord our God, help us to tear their soldiers to bloody shreds with our shells; help us to cover their smiling fields with the pale forms of their patriot dead; help us to drown the thunder of the guns with the shrieks of their wounded, writhing in pain; help us to lay waste their humble homes with a hurricane of fire; help us to wring the hearts of their unoffending widows with unavailing grief; help us to turn them out roofless with little children to wander unfriended the wastes of their desolated land in rags and hunger and thirst, sports of the sun flames of summer and the icy winds of winter, broken in spirit, worn with travail, imploring Thee for the refuge of the grave and denied it--for our sakes who adore Thee, Lord, blast their hopes, blight their lives, protract their bitter pilgrimage, make heavy their steps, water their way with their tears, stain the white snow with the blood of their wounded feet! We ask it, in the spirit of love, of Him Who is the Source of Love, and Who is the ever-faithful refuge and friend of all that are sore beset and seek His aid with humble and contrite hearts. Amen.
God being truth, justice, goodness, beauty, power, and life, man is falsehood, iniquity, evil, ugliness, impotence, and death. God being master, man is the slave. Incapable of finding justice, truth, and eternal life by his own effort, he can attain them only through a divine revelation... he who desires to worship God must harbor no childish illusions about the matter, but bravely renounce his liberty and humanity.

Praise Him!
And while these "people" are imprisoned, what finer chance do we True Christians to have to CONvert a, uh, "captive" audience?
Just about as many athians in prison as there are in foxholes, Babe

That's my thinking as well Brother T.
If we were to be following The Bible(KJV1611) like we are meant to, we would be saving Millions of $ not having to look after the thousands of Negra Murderers, Rapist, Drug dealers and Pie Stealers languishing in a life of luxury at OUR expense. You only have to execute them once and job done! No worries about reforming them which never works anyway. Just "Zapppp" and Job done.
Same should go for all Sodomites. It would save all that wasted money spent on the Plague.
