Default Re: Death penalty

I figured out a Christian way to resolve the entire death penalty debate. Every single person convicted of a crime that gets a life sentence should be given the option to choose the death penalty. That would be consistent with the golden rule -- do unto others as you would have them do to you. I would want the option.

If I was ever convicted of a crime falsely and given life imprisonment I would definitely choose the death penalty. Once you are on death row you are given many more appeals, free legal help and generally scientists and others will assist in your defense pro bono as well. It would give you the best chance to exonerate yourself.

From a Christian Biblical literalistic point of view, if the death penalty was good enough for Jesus it's good enough for anybody.

The real myth is that there never was a Palestine :

Joel 3:4 Yea, and what have ye to do with me, O Tyre, and Zidon, and all the coasts of Palestine? will ye render me a recompence? and if ye recompense me, swiftly and speedily will I return your recompence upon your own head;

2020 Dems appeal to an 'imaginary god created in their own minds,' Robert Jeffress says

"it is a “godless party” looking to an “imaginary God.”"

“But the truth is that when you talk about righteousness and unrighteousness. It is becoming clearer and clearer that the Democrat Party has truly become a godless party. It is a godless party.”

“You have seen lately, in fact even this week, that the Democrats are realizing that they have a God problem in connecting with voters,” he continued. “They don’t want to completely write-off faith voters, so they have hired this week a faith outreach director.”

Speaking about Harkins, Jeffress called him a “Trump-hating pastor” that comes from a “liberal seminary that is filled with liberal professors who couldn’t find God if their life depended on it.”

The Democratic Party which gave us slavery, resisted emancipation, protect the slaughter of the unborn, the KKK, the extermination of the innocent unborn, took the Bible out of schools, promoting trans-non-binary genders, etc. wants to have an "appearance of godliness?"

Preacher Buttigige is not working for them? Their own constituents are so easily fooled, they must think the same of all Christians. Hey, look folks, Trump may not be a Putin Puppet, but he's still a sinner!

AOC is calling the camps on the Mexican border "concentration camps" and likening them to the death camps created by Hitler. Why? Because they are overcrowded and not sufficiently stocked and staffed.

So for 2 years we see the Democrats kick and scream that there is no need for any additional funds for the border, and then they swing from that position to they are overcrowded concentration camps. This is not governing.

We are now listening to 16+ wannabe candidates and their key policies. Has any of them discussed our education system in this country? We are now 40th in a comparison of other school systems. How is anyone going to take this country seriously when we are 40th? We have learned from the countries who are in the top 5 what works. Finland and Poland have both risen to the top by doing one thing, requiring very high standards for anyone wishing to be a teacher. In order to get these teachers they have to pay more in salaries, but they don't pay more per kid than we do in the US. Instead we pay all our money for computers, smart boards and other electronic gadgets.

No, the big issue for the Democrats is to complain about the border without any solution recommended. They also make a lot of noise about climate change again without a solution. If the US made a major push for Fusion similar to our space program or effort to build the highways, then that could be seen as a solution. But no, the only ones willing to make suggestions are recommending firing 80,000 people and changing the lightbulbs.
