I mean the same people who cry over and over about the incompetence of government is willing to let that same incompetent government execute people.

Seems stupid

It gets even more f'ked when the conservative is also pro-life.

Killing people seems like one thing conservatives usually support the state doing, preferably as many and as brown as possible.

I think the state has proven itself effective at killing.

We should let it do what it does best!

Adjudicating our laws is one of the things government must do and be as fair and impartial as possible. When it comes to capital punishment, I don't see the government being very cavalier about it. The process takes years and probably has the most safe guards than any other activity the government preforms.

Never ascribe to malice, that which can be explained by incompetence.

I hate being in agreement with the Swede, so as of 1 minute ago I am now a fervent capital punishment supporter.


I have some Outposters I would like to nominate for the honor.

Im for the US not having the death penalty anymore. Life in prison with no parole is better

I'm not *actually* for the death penalty.

Then again I'm not an (R), nor characteristically American Conservative, and I've never yet admitted on this board what my full position is on abortion.

My position on the penal system is complicated enough it would take about a 500 page essay so I'll spare you.
