I'm mean the state taking your life is the ultimate in stealing freedom, but these people who run around saying oh I'm so afraid of the government stealing my freedom over tax policy or business regulations are perfectly ok with the government deciding to take someone's life.
Very bad analogy.

You lose rights when you are convicted of a crime. You lose almost all rights when you are convicted of a major crime against society (murder).

Seems like they botched it deliberately to get the law changed.

Ok, so what if it is torture? Why should we care if a murderer suffers a little bit on his way to buying the farm.

See, people like you conveniently forget that there were innocent victims this person tortured to put himself in this position in the first place. What about them? What about their constitutional rights?

And just for the record, I'm all for torture if that's what you call it. I actually find pleasure knowing a murderer, rapist or child molester suffered as they took their last breath.

What fun would that be?

Easier and cheaper to eliminate the death penalty altogether.

Even cheaper to bind their hands and feet and throw them in a body of water.

Dr. Conrad Murray has the key to painless death.

Hire him to execute with a lethal cocktail injection of propofol & midazolam.

Over and out.

The last thoughts going through the dying mind would be an urge for young boys.

There is no analogy.

This is about people who say they are afraid of government power stealing their freedom when it comes to taxes and business regulations because government can do no right and us corrupt, being perfectly ok with that same incompetent and corrupt government deciding to take someone's life.

Taking someone's life is the ultimate in the government stealing freedom.

People who are honestly afraid of government power would not be in favor of that government deciding who lives and who dies because again of all the freedoms that the government can steal, your life is the ultimate freedom stealing.

So I'll say again for normal people when you hear conservatives saying they are terrified of the health care law because it steals freedom and they are afraid of big government, ask where that person stands on the state deciding who lives or dies. And get an understanding of the insanity of conservatives.


Oh conservatives don't trust the state on tax policy, or to administer a health care law, but they trust and cheer lead that same government deciding to kill people.


conservatives make no sense.
