THE OBAMA/HOLDER WAR ON LEGAL EXECUTIONS - THEIR FOOLISHNESS IS ASTOUNDING

TEA PARTY NATION

Most Americans think the death penalty is a pretty good idea.  Most Americans feel there are certain crimes that the appropriate penalty is forfeiture of your life.  Murder is one of them.  Terrorism is another.  Some people think child rapists who are multiple offenders deserve the death penalty too. 

Of course, liberals being mentally ill believe that these poor killers and hardened criminals deserve a life of ease, with three hot meals a day, comfortable beds and cable TV, paid for by the tax payer.  Or better yet, “rehabilitate” them and release them back into society to offend again.

Attacking the death penalty has never been popular.  Liberals have usually paid a political price when they go after the death penalty.   Usually they resort to unelected judges to do their dirty work. 


Now, the latest attack against the death penalty is by the most incompetent Attorney in America, Attorney General Eric Holder.   The Department of Justice has been seizing the drug that is being used for lethal injections in the states that are actually executing convicted killers. 

The rationale used by the Obama regime is they had “concerns” about the importation of the drug. 

What?  We are using this to execute convicted killers.  It works.  What is the problem?

The problem is of course, the left.

Over the years, states have used a number of methods of execution.  Convicted killers were shot, hanged, put in the electric chair or put in the gas chamber.  In the eighties and nineties, a push began by the anti death penalty zealots that all of those methods of execution were terrible and the only good way to have the death penalty would be through lethal injection.  The killer is just given and shot and goes to sleep.

Many conservatives thought, well, if we just agree to this, it will stop a lot of the anti death penalty zealotry. 

Of course, liberals never give up on something they want, even if the American people do not want it.  Some how, states came up with the idea of using a bizarre three-drug cocktail to kill convicts.  The first drug is supposed to render the convict unconscious and then the second and third, stop the heart and stop respiration. 

Oh, but wait.  Now that we had this in place, the same liberals now screamed that the convicts suffered and that was terrible.  Many of these convicts inflicted incredible suffering on their victims before the victim died, yet we are supposed to be concerned that they might suffer for a couple of minutes?

In Tennessee, the anti death penalty zealots came up with a unique strategy.  They claimed that the drugs caused the executed killer incredible suffering before they died.  There is a way to determine whether that happened.  An autopsy would answer those questions.  Amazingly enough, all the inmates on death row adopted this religious belief that says an autopsy is against their religion.

Now, the Obama regime has stepped in to take away the drugs that are used in lethal injection.  If we are going to execute by lethal injection, why not just give them a massive injection of morphine?  Or better yet, why not just go back to the old method of execution?

In the bizzaro world of Obama land, those who protect us, like CIA employees are subject to prosecution, while convicted killers and terrorists deserve every break and consideration we can give them.

What is wrong with this picture?

2013 cannot get here soon enough!
