Colorado Democrats suddenly move to abolish capital punishment now that Hickenlooper is a candidate.

How will a wall stop the majority of illegals who already enter through legal checkpoints/traffic?

 

Clearly that struck a nerve. The inability to articulate your position in complete sentences is gratuitous... Thanks...

 

How am I failing to articulate anything?

I’m being very clear: every person has a right to self-ownership of their bodies, this includes women. Meaning that women have a right to deny other people the use of their bodies. Removing that right means that someone else is seizing the ownership of a woman’s body.

 

Give democrats some time to come up with a way to blame Trump.

 

all it needs to do is stop one murderous scum, no? or is the life of that one citizen killed by this one illegal entrant not worth the same as the potential wrongly convicted lifer on death row... tell us who's life is more important, carries more weight, if you please...

 

Oh great. You don't want him so dump him on the rest of us.

On a serious note, maybe it is a good thing that the most radical, loopy, fanatical, corrupt, and irrational of the American left is so prominent in the news these days. It just might wake up enough Americans still capable of intellectual honesty and common sense to get out and vote for candidates with intellectual honesty and common sense. If we do not, the country will be overtaken by the Hickenlooper's and AOCs and others like them who are jubilantly jumping on those trains.

What makes them so dangerous is that we have such a dumbed down electorate after a generation of destruction of American values that it is a lot harder to object when those values are replaced by the worst of radical leftism. Too many are incapable of seeing what is happening. And when they raise up charming, endearing, or compelling candidates as the face on all that, the lemmings are all too willing to embrace them and willingly follow them off any cliff even while they revile and attack and destroy any who dare to disagree with them.

I am not willing yet to say we are already past the tipping point in which we are powerless to to restore sanity to the process and to the nation. But if the right doesn't get its act together sufficiently to provide a counter force, we will lose the country to them. And because they have no respect for the Constitution, we can't depend on it to keep them in check in any way.

 

So the actions of a government and the actions of a criminal are equal and comparable?

 

As a resident of CO I'm thrilled to see the state government move to make the majority's will the law of the state.

 

deflect much?

 

You are the one trying to compare the government to the actions of a criminal.

 

For your sake, I hope that you're not the one in the next restaurant some mass-murdering monster decides to kill people in. But, it could be a very instructive thing for your attitude about capital punishment in the State of Colorado... or, the total lack of it!

 

In any event, Hickenlooper hasn't prayer of being the Dem. Nominee.

 

Why, Andy! You say the nicest things!

If 'Hick' isn't the Demo nominee, then I imagine he'll just settle back down among his big nest of Denver/Boulder hyperliberals and continue to screw Colorado up from "behind the scenes", no doubt. Bad for us, but we're used to him by now. Besides, he term-limited out as governor, so at least we won't have to deal with him in that capacity any more....

And, we got a brand-new liberal Democrat Governor in Colorado. A REAL 'peach', named Jared Polis -- the first homosexual governor in the United States, complete with his own "partner".... And the first thing that Polis is ramming through the Colorado Assembly is a bill to outlaw capital punishment. . The timing, considering Hickenlooper's announced candidacy, is as obvious as vomit on a hot, summer sidewalk....

. "I'll prob'ly live longer than most of you, and you'll be supporting me until the day you die!"

 

If a single innocent person has been put to death, then the death penalty shouldn’t be used.

 

That million dollars which could be spent on educating people to stay away from crime in the first place. As always, they choose the INCREDIBLY EXPENSIVE bandaid, rather than go with prevention. Why? Because prevention makes them feel icky. It's all 'hard work and confrontation of uncomfortable truths', and no child thinks that's fun.

 

Agreed. But how can anyone ever justify keeping such people alive to the tune of $1mil a piece, while there are children starving to death? Is that not infinitely more immoral, and potentially deadly?

 

No, it's pretty much the same. Worse actually, since there's only a tiny chance the child killed would have turned out to be a vicious killer, while there's only a tiny chance that these men aren't vicious killers.

 

Forget Dunlap! People want to abolish capital punishment now that Trump is suspect of Treason?

 

I see, but the US took in 3.15 trillion in tax revenue. I think we could swing housing inmates, and feed hungry kids.

Criminal justice reform would go a long way of saving tax payer money as well.

 

I didn't say "hungry" kids, I said "starving" kids. Big difference. And they're not being fed.

No idea what is meant by criminal justice reform.

 

Is there some sort of famine going on in the country that I’m not aware of?

Criminal justice reform= not throwing people in prison for dumb ****, which save tax payer money.

 

There are famines all over the Third World. Children are dying. I'm surprised you weren't aware of that.

How about 'criminal reform', instead of criminal justice reform? How about people stop doing dumb **** which lands them jail?

 

Your point makes no sense. The federal budget has room for foreign aid, and housing inmates.

Yeah it’d be nice if we lived in a perfect world, where people did do dumb ****, and landed themselves in jail. But, last time I checked we don’t live in utopia.

 

When the world is so out of whack that we can spend $1mil per head on evil bustards, while ignoring starving children, I think it's reasonable to gripe.

A perfect world. Yes, that's the point (see above). But it needn't be perfect, just not nearly so ridiculously back to front and upside down. We have a citizenry which demands 'compassion', but then keeps doing stupid **** and being okay with the cost of that to those who are starving.

 

The US spends billions in foreign aid every year. Housing inmates isn’t preventing that.
