6: The Death Penalty
The first thing Liberals try to do when attacking you on your stance of the Death Penalty, is
to somehow link that with your views against abortion (remember, they won't stay on topic!). Ask them
if they want to discuss abortion, that's fine, but we're talking about the Death Penalty right now.
And think about this:
* If society views the worth of the life of the killer as equal as that of the victim, then the result will be the same; that is, the
killer will die. If society views the worth of the life of the killer as LESS than that of the victim, then the result will be worse for
the killer, again, the killer will die. ONLY if society views the life of the killer as worth MORE than that of the victim is the
outcome better for the killer and the killer lives.
And the constantly verbalized Liberal argument: "Oh life in prison without parole is worse punishment than the death penalty" is
a pure crock. IF that were true, then WHY do all of these convicts use every protest and appeal they can to get out of the
death penalty? Don't they know that is BETTER for them?
