-----------December 12, 2005Wanna Trade?
I'm deviating from my stated purpose again. This post is useful, but not necessarily informative. It has nothing to do with Southern Gospel music.
The highly publicized execution of Tookie Williams taking place later tonight has caused a popular question to come out again in public debate. There are two versions of this question...the liberal and the conservative. Liberal Version: "How can you favor the death penalty while opposing abortion?" Conservative Version: "How can you favor abortion while opposing the death penalty?" Everyone who knows me knows I'm a conservative, but I'm not even going to attempt to answer either question. However, I'd like to make a proposal. Wanna trade? Although I'm a political conservative who strongly believes a convicted murderer should pay the ultimate penalty for his/her crimes once the appeal process is completely exhausted (and is disgusted when that process takes 25 years to complete), I would gladly be willing to surrender the death penalty if liberals would surrender on abortion. These are two hot topics that we'll never agree on, but is there room for compromise? Think about it...convicted murderers would be sentenced to life with no parole rather than going to death row while in exchange, babies would get to experience life beyond the womb. If you listen to the "squeaky wheels," it seems like the conservatives hate abortion more than they love the death penalty and the liberals hate the death penalty more than they love abortion. The question is would anyone on either side be willing to make that trade? With all due respect to the families of victims of capital crimes, I'd take that trade in a heartbeat. Make that one conservative who favors a compromise that links these two highly controversial topics. posted by David Bruce Murray @ 11:38:00 PM
