We've all heard plenty by now about the
execution of Troy Davis. Listening superficially to the media, one gets the impression that he was some kind of innocent bystander, or Jean Valjean at the worst. Ann Coulter, who is better than anybody when she's at her best,
sets us straight on that part of it HERE. Liberals, bless them, like nothing more than an opportunity to save the lives of human garbage, and get them back out on the streets to predate some more, but are strangely silent when the government actually
does get abusive and violates the rights of people who don't do anything wrong. Use a gun to murder a cop, and everybody from Al Sharpton to Danny Glover will show up to shield you from justice, but if you simply protect yourself from aggression by merely
producing a gun and not even firing it, you are pure evil and the liberals want your head.
This strange double standard is delved into by Guy Somerset HERE.
True, Troy Davis was no innocent, but there WAS doubt regarding his guilt of this murder.
ReplyDeleteMore, cold-blooded killing is a very poor method to try to teach that killing is wrong.
Finally, it is a very dangerous concept that a government has a "right" to kill people.
I have to side with the liberals on this one, but for different reasons. The Troy Davis murder isn't the result of "racism," but the result of giving a group of people (governments) the power to destroy others' lives.
ReplyDeleteIf you're against the death penalty, you're against the death penalty, whatever your reasons. The point of the post, of course, is that liberals are _selectively_ opposed to the death penalty and killing in general. Most aren't as consistent as Dick Gregory.
