But before he gets there he begins on familiar territory - worshiping his personal god Bobby Jindal. He also trots out the prison privatization crap again. Notice that in the months of having major problems with prison privatization raised throughout the local, state, national and international press, and the embarrassing ridicule directed at our state, Jeff takes no time to address any of the issues raised. Instead, since it seems all capitalist to privatize prisons, Jeff is all for it. A few simple references to studies is all he needs to fool himself into thinking his preconceived idea is air tight. Anyway, to the hypocrisy, because that's the richest part of his stupid post. Now he is whining that the private prison-opposition is better suited in North Korea. Setting aside the casual insult that conservatives like Jeff so often hurl without backing it up, Jeff looks down on this guy because in North Korea prisoners are "put to work as virtual slaves." Yet, right here in this backwards state "The privatization of prisons in recent years has meant the creation of a small army of workers too coerced and right-less to complain." Here is a lengthy article for Jeff to avoid that points out exactly how what he is advocating leads to exactly what he insists his enemies are all for.
