Ah.

1. A murdering thug executed
2. The USSC upholds Texas redistricting
3. We've upset the Euros once again

It's a trifecta!

Dear Europe: STFU

[dfwgator]

Would the EuroPeons have cared as much if the US executed someone who killed an abortion doctor?

[dfwgator]

Tell you what Europe, we'll just send all of our killers to live in Europe, since you believe they can still contribute to society.

[Flightdeck]

We must be doing something right.

.....Cardinal Renato Martino said. “Even a criminal is worthy of respect because he is a human being......

This is a patently untrue statement. No one is worthy of respect for simply being. Contempt trumps respect.

The death penalty is the ultimate statement of contempt.

[Red Badger]

“Even a criminal is worthy of respect because he is a human being. The death penalty is a negation of human dignity.”

I can understand their position, but when Jesus told the thief on the cross that, "This day you will be with me in paradise," he didn't set him free of the cross, which he could have easily......

[Dick Vomer]

who gives a rat's ass what they think...?

[Gaffer]

“We know the death penalty doesn’t resolve anything,” Cardinal Renato Martino said.

Well, we surely do know that it resolves that the CRIMINAL will never, NEVER commit another criminal act on this earth, don't we?

European Outrage at US Execution

Hey, Europe:

[Steve_Seattle]

In Europe, they only kill the elderly, the infirm, and the retarded.

[DakotaRed]

At the Vatican, Pope Benedict XVI’s top official for justice matters denounced the death penalty for going against redemption and human dignity.

Protestors were bringing up lots of quotes of clergy opposed to executions last night. I guess they forgot it's they that have pushed so hard for "Separation of Church and State."

Arnald - "The Tookienator"

[goldstategop]

The Europeans and I'm sorry to say, Pope Benedict's Catholic Church have de-volved. Only people lacking in Judeo-Christian values could be outraged at the execution of a cold-blooded murderer. They need to put some ice on it over there. They hate us because we are the last outpost of Judeo-Christian beliefs in the West.

[shield]

We're a bible believing country. You EUmorons might want to take a look at what the scriptures teach us to do with a killer.

Personally, I wish we were more like the middle eastern countries when it comes caring out a death sentence. You've got ONE MONTH to live with appeals. After one month, this death sentence is carried out.

At the Vatican, Pope Benedict XVI’s top official for justice matters denounced the death penalty for going against redemption and human dignity.

To the Pope, "Cleanup in pew five - slap this guy down for disagreeing with God's Word on how some of these folks will rightly be killed for committing murder.

Europeans can suck off.

What is their take on Euthanasia.

[ARCADIA]

It doesn't sound like anyone in power in Europe acually said anything. Just the usual crackpot Anti-americanism from the lunatic fringe.

[HamiltonJay]

I don't mean to sound rude here, and no disrespect for the Cardinal... but if it wasn't for the death penalty, we would never have been saved. Just a little something to chew on.
