A pro-Lifer who thinks Death is fitting for those who don't revere Life is hypocritical?

Should I turn my back and ignore a murderer? Or is it even more hypocritical to deny the survival instinct God gave us? And just who the hell are you or any other bleeding heart speaking for the ones who faced that pickaxe?

I'm sorry, JoJo Gunn, I didn't mean to imply that you or anyone else was a hypocrite for supporting capital punishment while opposing abortion. I was only talking about my own heart, my own coming to understanding on how I feel about two extrememly important issues. There's enough hypocrisy in my own life that I can't go accusing it in others. It was my mistake for not making that more clear.

Am I a troll? I dunno. Depends on your definition. I think the modern conservative movement is in danger of stagnating with too much "me too!" and not enough of asking why we individuals believe the things we do. The two threads I've posted to are things I believe passionately about with beliefs not held by a large number of people here. I can see that people hold their beliefs very dearly, but less clear is why they hold the beliefs they do, beyond the "I'm just right, they're just wrong" rhetoric.

It's certainly possible that other people's views make more sense than my own, and I want to see that. However, if FR is meant to be a place where unified conservatives can discuss things without outside intrusion by dissenters, that's wonderful. I'll fade into oblivion, everyone will say "good riddance" and life will be back to normal by Inaguration Day.

As for writing too much, well, that's a habit I've always had. My views are very important to me, and I want to set them down as clearly as possible. I can't persuade anyone with just a sentence.

Thanks for the welcome, OSHA.
