See my posting The Death Penalty Part I and Part II.

I don’t know why everyone on the right is getting so excited about Bush’s new SC Justice nominee. We don’t know at all how this dude is going to rule on any particular case. He just doesn’t have a long enough track record for any conclusions to be drawn. Now don’t get me wrong. I think not having a long track record could be a good thing, but I must emphasize the word “could.”

This pick reminds me of the Florida Gators picking Urban Meyer to be their new head coach. He has a decent background and has demonstrated some ability and he seems to please most of the Gator Nation faithful, BUT the fact of the matter is that Urban has not coached a down, not even one in the Mighty Southeatern Conference of NCAA Division 1 football.

Like Meyer, Roberts is about to be in the big leagues and with that power comes one of two things. Being able to remain sane, handle it and do what you are hired to do and still serve those whom you were tapped to serve is up in the air. Until Judge Roberts rules and offers opinion on his first case, we have ZERO idea what he may turn out to be.

He may not turn out to be an unqualifed, activist moron Like Ginsburg and her cronies, but he could turn out to be at the least as bad as the Wishy-Washy girl of no conviction, Sandy O, Connor.

Thou shalt not kill..

Right, but that is to the individual. Once the INDIVIDUAL breaks this commandment, it is up to the Judicial system to apply punishment, and this includes the death penalty.

Mark made great comments, as have Andy and others.
Man is prone to errors, and God knows this. I simply can NOT take the chance that I’m wrong and let a man (or woman) slip thru and still have a life after taking the lives of others ON PURPOSE.

I suppose the gentleman (and I use the term gentleman scornfully here) in Idaho who killed the family, kidnapped and molested the kids and boasted about killing the family (probably before killing the boy) should be just put in jail forever in your eyes…Nah…I think he should be removed from our world immediately and sent to judgement. *shrug* I can’t fathom you wanting to keep this man alive.

Thanks for the great work and the comments.

We threw a link & post up and we hope our visitors come by for a visit as it would be benefical for them.

“The Sixth Commandment is hereby repealed.”

The Left consistently makes faulty stereotyped assumptions about Christianity, and often about religion in general. They have a template about Christians and that template is Dominion Theology–the belief that Christians seek a union of spiritual and temporal power according to the Old Testament civil laws.

This belief is completely and entirely antithetical to scripture and a very small number hold to it today. Yet this is the label with which we are constantly painted. In the Left’s fever-laden nightmares, we wish to impose our religion on unbelievers to create an Earthly Christian Utopia. Christ’s kingdom is spiritual, in the hearts of men, and has always suffered damage when man has attempted to co-opt temporal power. In fact, this is an outright rejection of Christ’s power, Christ’s kingdom, and Christ’s methods (the foolishness of preaching) for spreading the Gospel.

There are many wise ideas in Old Testament civil law but we are in no way obligated to enact them. They belong to the Old Testament state of Israel. While the New Testament church is unified with the Old Testament church, God has forever dissolved the church/state friendship that marked that age.

Our duty as American citizens is to ensure that our government does not overstep it’s boundaries to guarantee “quiet and peaceable lives” for its citizens. That doesn’t mean moral dictation from the Central Government.
