The moment that would have broken my
father's heart was the moment when applause broke out at the mention of
more than 200 executions ordered by Rick Perry in Texas. It was stunning
and brought tears to my eyes. This is what we've come to? That we
applaud at executions?
I remember the first time my father ordered
an execution when he was Governor. He and a minister went into a room,
got down on their knees and prayed. The real shame of our times
is that there doesn't seem to be anyone on the political horizon with
that compassion in his or her heart.

I found that moment disgusting, too, and it says so much about the GOP and it's constituency.
We have so much to answer for in our prison system.
These teabaggers love to talk about Ronald Reagan - but if The Gipper were around today, he would be driven out of the current Republican party for being "too liberal".
