With regards to setting him free, I won't entirely defend that position. But I would argue that were not in a position to play Gods moral authority and decide without fault who may die at our hand. The only places more capital than us our the Arabic and African nations and they hardly have high moral authority or a control of crime rates.

Well said and much agree.

Explain how capital punishment aligns with conservative values. In 200 words or less.

thou shalt not murder.

and no, punishment for a crime that he committed is not murder. What is your solution to him and the piece of **** baby raper? Should they just be set free? or Locked up and supported by tax payers forever?

So you don't play God with peoples lives and keep a gun for self defense, do you?

So is the desired outcome of the death penalty "attainable"? Seriously. Is it working as a deterrent? Is it accomplishing our goals as a society? (I used to be a hard corp proponent of the practice, but I'm no longer convinced)

I don't get how a rational small government proponent can rail against government involvement in so many things yet turn around and say that the government is competent enough to be given the ultimate power. If someone wants to explain it, I'm really all ears.

For someone who served in the military this seems rather hypocritical....

Conservatives don't trust government to handle something like healthcare or retirement plans, but they're competent enough to kill U.S. citizens? You intellectually lazy, hypocritical, morally depraved people are disgusting.

Yeah. You really support limited government. Wanna get into the financial aspect of capital punishment? Idiots.


You're right. It should be privatized.
