The question in this case is what does the rule of law call for in the case. If law abiding nations forgoe executing the punishment the law calls for out of fear of the convicted becoming martyrs, that too is a slippery slope, and one in which the law becomes ineffective. Let he process decide.
I am far right and I am religious, and I have to say that I do not believe that in politics we are morally bankrupt. As you very well know, when those men that you mentioned dod the things that they did, the rest of us immediately condemned them for their actions and puched for their...
Well, he was an ambulance chaser. So, while I won't say that all lawyers are crooks, I will say that all amulance chasing lawyers show crook like tendencies. Is that fair?
By presidential, I mean in the way he communicates. While passionate and inspiring, he is also distinct and clear. The...
John Edwards - He is a triel lawyer and a member of the American Bar Association, probably the largest special interest groups in America (lawyers). I have a hard time trusting a guy who is so obviously hypocritical.
Hillary Clinton - Not even a full term as a Senator. I am not sure how she...
Atheists told me when I was a kid, that I would get my toys back if I renounced creationism and agreed that evolution was the only thing that made sense and was supported by evidence.
I'm still waiting to get my GI Joe with the kung fu grip back.
They are too busy working with the other woodland critters to bring about the reign of the anti-christ.
For people who watch South PArk, this makes perfect sense. For those of you who don't watch it, no, I have not lost my mind.
Just because I like my preacher, doesn't mean I want him running my country. My accountant could be a Luciferian, but he is still better at numbers than me. Get my meaning?
The amount of power and control that the evangelical religious right has is what actually scares me right now. I hope the Huckster starts to fade away soon because he scares me with some if his fiscal liberalism.
Actually I do. I was somewhat interested in him at first. I stopped when I saw his record though. Particularly his record on taxes (rasied them by over 500 million in Arky) and illegal immigration (college scholarship elligibility for illegal aliens). He is not a conservative. He is for big...
Actually, it is going to happen a little differently. I see Edwards will throw his endorsement (when it becomes painfully obvious that he can't win) to Obama because he can't stand the Clinton. That puts Obama way over the top and he will feel obligated to make Edwards his VP on the ticket...
There were no "witches". There were only innocent men and women who were accused by a group of christians living in fear.
Who knows why they quit, but I am glad that they did.
I can single out one group for blame for the holocaust....Germans.
Oh, I dont' buy what is being sold when it comes to christian responsibility for the holocaust, I just see the faulty logic. So many times some people say that if a bad thing is done by someone who calls themselves a christian...
Here is my thing with Huckabee, besides his horrible ideas, he has come out and taken what has usually been a liberal democrat strategy. What I mean is, he seems to be going with the idea that it is more important to let people know that you feel sorry for them, rather than offer any real good...
I have to disagree with you here. Hitler did use religion as a factor in motivating his own philosphy and to get everyone on board with the killing of the undesirables. He especially liked to use the "jews killed Jesus" argument to get german christians (particularly german catholics and...
I have a hard time seeing how anyone could vote for the Huckster. Seems like a nice enough guy, but he is ultraconservative on social issues and ultra liberal on fiscally. Seems like the worst of both worlds from my vantage point. If I were a democrat I would be hoping he wins, because he...
