Just for the hell of it I read one of his childrens anti gang books, and I don't see how anyone can really claim he is doing anything other than promoting a racist black agenda, but then again Im just a skinny white republican. Brandon
Retribution is a primitive base instinct. I guess that is the nature of a "Christian Nation" following the will of Jesus Christ to kill the sinners..... Execute the killers for Jesus.....oh what a country....
I don't think that the capital punishment serves too much of a purpose other than to maybe make the victims family feel better. And, if it does make them feel better I'm all for it, but they should have to pull the switch themselves if they really want the person dead. There is no death penalty is Canada or Europe etc and you are much less likely to be killed there than in the US, it does not work.
Once again we see the right wingers justify their actions by the benchmark of the acts of crazed murderers. The murderer acts insanely to kill, the "sane" then execute the killers... The bar is set by the sinners actions, so the "saved" Christians feel they can kill the killers....as long as their killing is "rationalized" as lawful....and with full sanctity of the virtuous. America, this so called "Christian Nation" is spiritually bankrupt....
Brandon, my friend, you are wrong on this issue. The death penalty is a deterent to crime. But, it has to be administered in a swift and sure manner to be meaningful. In this country, it is not. Thus, your assumption that the death penalty is not a deterent. Our prisons in this country make a mockery of any alternative to the death penalty. That's one of the major problems in regards to crime and punishment in this country. Our little thugs in the USA wouldn't dare commit such acts in other countries. They don't put up with the nonsense. They have "ways" to deal with it.
In the "good old days" of prairie justice and instant lynchings, were there no murders? Again, the deterrent argument is full of holes.
