This week the Supreme Court decided the death penalty is too cruel for child rapists. The 5 liberal justices concluded that this would be considered cruel and unusual punishment. Many consider the brutal rape of a child to be cruel and unusual and find it disappointing that liberal sensibilities choose to protect evil over the innocent.
The Supreme Court has struck down a Louisiana law that allows the execution of people convicted of a raping a child.
In a 5-4 vote, the court says the law allowing the death penalty to be imposed in cases of child rape violates the Constitution’s ban on cruel and unusual punishment.
“The death penalty is not a proportional punishment for the rape of a child,” Justice Anthony Kennedy wrote in his majority opinion. His four liberal colleagues joined him, while the four more conservative justices dissented.
Liberal judges display a pattern of being more concerned with championing the rights of the criminal over the victim. All too often a predator is allowed to prey on the innocent time and time again. The courts make a mockery of justice while the children and their families must continue with much of their lives destroyed forever. This constant liberal cry of, “it’s for the children” must occasionally be backed up with action and not just feel-good rhetoric.
Maybe in the scheme of things a little vengeance against predators is justice for the victims and society as a whole.
Having the pleasure of riding a motorcycle for many years I can with certainty say this guy is lucky to be alive.
A motorcyclist clocked by state police driving 144 miles-an-hour in a 55 mile-an-hour zone in New York’s Putnam County faces having his license suspended.
The state police in Brewster said the motorcycle driven by 21-year-old David Puchalski, of Carmel, was stopped at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday at I-84 in the town of Southeast. The driver was clocked going 89 miles-an-hour higher than the posted speed limit.
The driver was freed pending a July 8th appearance in Southeast Court.
State Police Sgt. Ted Daley said that speeding more than 40-miles-an-hour higher than the posted speed limit results in 11 points being charged against the driver’s license, which automatically results in a suspension.
Because you have the talent to handle a bike at this speed doesn’t mean you should. You can never fully anticipate the odd animal or car pulling out in front of you and the resulting mess to follow. Puchalski should immediately sell his bike and not consider another until he is 30. I’ve been told that, at least for some, it’s the age when common sense overrides the stupidity gene.
My question now is how fast was the state police car going to catch this guy and shouldn’t he also receive a ticket for excessive speed? Just a thought.
William Delahunt (D-Mass) is once again disgracing his position by wishing publicly that the Cheney chief of staff, David Addington be identified then killed by al Qaeda. You may remember Delahunt as the long time supporter of Hugo Chavez, making it clear where his loyalties rest.
One of the most curious exchanges in today’s testy hearing in the House Judiciary Committee was this exchange between Rep. Wiliam Delanhunt (D-Mass.) and David Addington, chief of staff to Vice President Cheney.
Addington had acknowledged earlier in the hearing that he took part in discussions with CIA lawyers over the agency’s interrogation policies. Delahunt tried to find out what Addington knew about the use of waterboarding on suspected Al Qaeda terrorists, or more specifically, whether Addington knew it was approved as an interrogation technique.
Addington told Delahunt he couldn’t discuss specific techniques being used, or even discussed for use, by CIA agents because terrorists may be watching his appearance and would gain insight into what U.S. intelligence agents are up to.
“You kind of communicate with Al Qaeda if you do. I can’t talk to you because Al Qaeda may watch C-SPAN,” Addington said.
Delahunt responded: “I’m sure they are watching. I’m glad they finally have a chance to see you, Mr. Addington, given your penchant for being unobtrusive.”
Update – Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa) wasn’t pleased with Delahunt’s suggestion that al Qaeda is happy to get a look at Addington.
“With Rep. Bill Delahunt’s remarks inciting [al Qaeda] to violence, David Addington and his family will need protection until the War on Terror is over,” King said in a statement. “I wonder if Bill Delahunt is ready to guard Mr. Addington’s home and family.”
What the traitorous William Delahunt (D-Mass) doesn’t realize is that he is also a target of al Qaeda and other terrorist organizations. Only a fool like Delahunt would believe that he is immune to the same fate he wishes upon Mr. Addington. Arrogance and his perceived self-importance have blinded him to the cold reality of war and the eventual fate of the traitor.
The reduced oxygen in the Mile High City is taking it’s toll on Denver’s Mayor John Hickenlooper. It appears that the cheese has finally slid off his cracker judging from this latest attempt to appease the green gods.
Warning to Southern delegates to the 2008 Democratic National Convention in Denver this August: it will be a no-fry zone.
As part of the effort to make the August 25-28 convention the greenest ever, the Democrats’ guidelines for food catering include one that strikes at the heart of Southern cuisine: no fried food.
No fried chicken. No fried catfish. No fried green tomatoes. No fried okra. No fried anything.
In promoting healthy eating habits, the Democratic guidelines say every meal should be nutritious and include “at least three of the following colors: red, green, yellow, purple/blue and white.”
“It’s the new patriotism,” says Denver Mayor John Hickenlooper, the driving force behind the greening of the Democratic convention.
However, if presumptive Republican presidential nominee John McCain starts gaining in the polls on Barack Obama, who will accept the Democratic nomination in Denver, the Democrats may find they’ve got bigger fish to fry? – uh, make that – bake
Talk about a place where all reason is tossed to the wind. If the people of Denver accept this type of government intrusion and madness, then they deserve the increased tyrannical control that is sure to follow.
The presidential candidate that searches for a thought without prepared notes or a teleprompter now has an altar for his worshipers to kneel. For a short moment in time, he stood majestically behind his new faux-presidential seal and read to his followers the words calculated to help get his puppet-masters into the White House.
As expected, the new seal did meet with opposition, resulting in its placement in an area designated for private worship. No matter, the message of things to come was clear in its original delivery.
By now, we can safely conclude that an Obama presidency will be personally and nationally more expensive than any other event in American history. So as a tribute to the Obamanation, I give you a new faux-presidential seal worthy of such a man.
The value of this new seal not found in the first, is that this one carries with it the benefit of truth in advertising.
