Salon thread? Why not post more of the marxist drivel:
“Alas, the cheers that broke out among a well-heeled Republican audience last week at the mention of Texas Gov. Rick Perry’s execution of 234 convicts at a recent GOP presidential debate were all too real. Such is their anger and alienation that they’d gladly drag us back to the 19th century, when public hangings competed with traveling Wild West shows as popular entertainment.”
If it takes heads of murderers on pikes at city gates to stop the violence against innocent people, and the blood running in the streets from the drug wars, fine.
If it takes public hangings to stop the crimes against Texas citizens, fine.
The rest of the USA can coddle their murderers all they want but here in Texas we want them graveyard dead as soon as possible.
How about getting serious about shutting out the influx of a demographic group — illegales from Mexico and other Latin American countries — which brings a disproportionate amount of deadly crime to Texas? An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
