What is a Social Conservative and who’s to say? These questions are being raised in light of the unexceptional (except to Adam Kleinheider–at VolunteerVoters.com) and Roger Abramson–at flanktwoposition.com)) assertion that the “Pro-life with exceptions” position on abortion (or the Pro-Life with Asterisk position) is not the “social Conservative” position on abortion.
I’m still kind of [...]

I’ve been called out by Roger Abramson, again, but this time it’s about my post regarding Mitt Romney’s current position on abortion. You can read my post (here) and Roger’s reaction (here).
Abramson makes much of a Pew Poll showing that only 11% of the population agree with my position on abortion, but even if a [...]

MJB,
It would save me a lot of time if you would closely read what I’m writing, perhaps there’s too much on the table to keep the arguments straight, but I’ll repeat my arguments. Use of deadly force by a state is moral, in my opinion. You haven’t addressed the war [...]

DP Debate X

Come on MJB, I will gladly claim that I am choosing/supporting/advocating the Death Penalty. My point is that I am not going to behead you for having the opposite view of mine or for being, if you ever are, in the majority on the issue. You’re wasting breath trying to emotionally scare me away from [...]

MJB,
It is about “voting for candidates who support state killing” because that is the extent that I will go to on behalf of the death penalty. Though I would be frustrated to lose this policy debate, I won’t start murdering guys like “(Poor) Paul Dennis Reid” in their frogmarch outside the courthouse. I have already [...]

MJB would you feel better if we called [the execution] a late term abortion?

Only, Idgaf, if we make the pregnancy twins & you’re taken out, too. Just kidding.

Not funny MJB. Neither is it funny to lump together Al Qaeda, (Poor) Paul Dennis Reid and people who [...]

As you may know, Tennessee has been buzzing with the death penalty issue for a couple of weeks as two convicted murderers were scheduled to die on the same date. As the result of some posts to the Nashville City Paper’s forum, I recieved an email one evening from an anti-DP post-er and the “discussion” [...]

Lame holding of U.S. S.Ct. on death penalty–trying to litigate from the bench what they prefer the laws regulating the Death Penalty should be. The AEDPA (Anti-Terrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act) effectively protected against wrongful administration of the DP.
And it is absolutely laughable that some believe it is “cruel and unusual punishment” (and thereby [...]

I just read that Wellington Mara, long-time owner of the N.Y. Giants and a pillar of the pro-life movement has died from cancer at age 89. Since I’ve been paying attention to the abortion holocaust I have often heard of his pro-life views and respected him for that alone, but I was encouraged to read [...]

Re. the guy who was convicted of killing the developing child in his girlfriend’s womb (below), it is important to realize that the jury may not have believed the girlfriend’s (aside:  she was probably referred to at trial as his “fiancee”) account that she was also punching her womb.  I would call it a win [...]
