From the compassionate conservative wing of the Republican party, Rep. Larry Pittman of North Carolina speaks out.
“We need to make the death penalty a real deterrent again by actually carrying it out. Every appeal that can be made should have to be made at one time, not in a serial manner,” Pittman wrote in the email. “If murderers (and I would include abortionists, rapists, and kidnappers, as well) are actually executed, it will at least have the deterrent effect upon them. For my money, we should go back to public hangings, which would be more of a deterrent to others, as well.”
How long before execution by guillotine for liberals and atheists is proposed by Republicans?
The surprise or concern is not that wingnut politicians say stuff like this. Republicans have been running on CRAZY for a while now. No, the real worry should be that enough Americans voted for this guy to get him elected.
Pittman should read more. Several wrongfully convicted people have been exonerated after years of waiting on death row. They had their convictions overturned by new evidence. Here is a list of men who would have been wrongfully executed if the process of making all the appeals in their cases at one time had been carried out.
I am sure that Pittman would explain that occasionally an innocent person will be executed but it would be for the good of society as a whole, at least I have a Republican sister who explains it that way. I have asked her a few times if she would feel the same way if the innocent person was one of her children, her husband, or even herself. So far I have received no response.
” To assert, in any case, that a man must be absolutely cut off from society because he is absolutely evil amounts to saying that society is absolutely good, and no one in his right mind would believe this today.”

Fair and balanced Fox News would include Barack Obama as well.
Yea, Karen, not only a public execution, but a televised one.
