Do you feel guilty that you can't tow the official 'company' line that the death penalty is always bad?
Despite being perhaps the most vocal conservative on this board (all 5 of us left) there are many aspects of current conservatism I do not fully support or support at all but I don't think of them as a blind spot.
You have supported your reason for favoring the death penalty for some monsters, a blind spot would be where you can't justify it and just feel that way despite evidence to the contrary.
My guess is any true blind spot you would not be able to recognize in yourself in the first place.

why do you do this?
