This is the only nation I know of that locks people up for life for things like stealing $100, but tries to appease terrorists that cut off peoples heads
If in California, thank the Prison Guard Unions, even the GOP has long realized that 3 strikes is not the deterrent that it was supposed to be and is very expensive to uphold. The last time there was a CA referendum on relaxing 3 strikes, The Prison Guard union spent millions in opposition. They even went to the Democrats and made it clear they would present primary challengers to any Dem who favored any action that would reduce prison population. This as we are under court orders to spend Billions to construct more capacity due to overcrowding.
California Dems Bought off by the CTA, Prison union and SEIU
California GOP Bought off by Monsanto, big development, defense industry
Have no idea what most of your off topic wild rant is even about, but are you saying you believe the US government should pay ransom for kidnapped Americans? The ransom they requested was $100 million. You honestly believe these terrorists were seriously offering to give him back for that amount of money? They did not want ransom--they wanted to engage the US government and that is what has happened. If the government starts paying ransom for Americans--no Americans will be safe.
Good try
Barack Hussein Obama's consistent indecision's are the real issue here, look at the facts
if you can do so with out an assumption
And to be absolutely clear, I DO NOT IN ANY WAY SHAPE OR FORM SUPPORT ANY NEGOTIATIONS WITH
ANY TERRORIST FOREIGN OR DOMESTIC ! ! !

I am unclear on your point, In this case we didn't appease the terrorists and didn't pay the $100 million ransom for either Foley or Sotloff. Do you agree with giving in to ISIS ransom demands?
Yep, there is a handbook for everyone who disagrees with you. They are allllll part of a big group conspiracy.
'Be who you are and say what you feel...Because those that matter...don't mind...And those that mind...don't matter.'
Facts are facts so until some, not necessarily you accept the fact that Barack Hussein Obama
is as much of the problem as the issues the problems will only escalate !
Do you agree or disagree with the US government giving ransoms for American overseas captives - or this post just an opportunity to point out inconsistencies?
i disagree with ANY government paying a ransom of any kind to anyone. we need to get back to the days when anytime an american citizen was kidnapped, our government would mount a rescue operation using force recon or delta force, or even the seals. they would go in and rescue the hostages, and if they did it as a black op, they would take out the kidnappers, permanently. if the hostages were killed, then retribution was taken on the hostage takers. back then people respected american citizens, and generally left them alone.

I think if we make statements that we are going to sit down with terrorists and "negotiate" we shouldnt be shocked when they take actions or insist on sitting down and holding our people ransom until we do.
