No doubt about it. There is no denying the "cult of death" on the Liberal side of things.

An unborn baby as a fetus, has not done anything wrong in their life except perhaps waiting to be conceived as a bastard child. Lets face it, thats why most abortions occur.

On the other hand, most of the people on death row are there for maybe one hanous murder of which they show no remorse and also show a tendency to hurt themselves or others. Or, often it is a serial killer that simply needs to get to that next exit on the highway of life.

Apples and Oranges.

i think these descriptions contradict themselves!

Republican:
I do believe in murder, I don't believe in murder.

Democrat:
I don't believe in murder, I do believe in murder.

oh my!

killing is killing that is what you folks don't understand no matter the circumstance dead is dead and if you prolifers would denouce the death penalty abortion would be over there would be no double standard and a law could be passed to end abortion but your thirst for blood is so strong babies are being killed too. Thou shall not kill!

Just-Me-07, you are exactly right. JQPublix, I don't think Dr. Laura would know where to begin on that comment. The death penalty is a punishment for killing someone. The baby is being penalized for being conceived. I don't know how the two can even be compared.

Actually in the original text it states, "Thou shalt not commit murder."

This has nothing to do with voting, it has to do with labels and murder. I have a right to judge based on natural law. The dentist that brutally murdered his wife in Forsyth County did not get the death penalty only the poor get the death penalty! As for as why should you pay to feed and house a killer the same reason you pay for a war that has killed hundreds of thousands of Iraqis and nearly 4,000 Americans and never say word about it so stay silence on this matter too!

LadyRed very nice post. I think all of us would agree that there are mitigating circusmstances with either the case of abortion or the death penalty where we might be for/against.

As for me, I have a relative that married a woman who was raped before they met. She ended up having her child. Now they have two other kids together and even though they live in squaler they are still a very loving family and that first child means a lot to the entire extended family.

Think if he had been aborted.

Av, that was excellent. I hope I can remember that one.

To be open minded is not a bad thing in and of itself. To be open minded only means that you are willing to listen to the other side but the problem with liberals in todays society is that they are not smart enough to listen to the other side without jumping on the bandwagon whether it is right or wrong. If you have any morals, and listen to the other side, then it only gives you a better argument for standing your ground. As for expecting different results that is not the case. A conservative knows what is moral and what is good for the country and doesn't want it changed. If it is good don't mess with it.

Um, the founding fathers described themselves as liberal. And how is liberalism "evil?" I think that Just-Me has a point--as a self-described liberal, I pride myself on trying to listen to both sides of an issue, and encourage the students in my classes to do the same. And I think I have done that on this blog--I've never called anyone "stupid" or "evil" because of their beliefs--I have tried to present my point of view in as amiably as possible, and entertain differing points of view. But setting up absolutes (good v/s evil, right v/s wrong, black v/s white)shows a close minded approach to issues that very rarely fall into either/or dichotomies. And, whether it be liberal or conservative that sets up that kind of fallacy, THAT is what is wrong with the country--a lack of critical thought, and an "I must be right because this is what I believe and I refuse to hear anything to the contrary" attitude that both sides, but primarily conservatives, are guilty of.
