DEATH PENALTY

GOVERNOR MARK WARNER OF VIRGINIA PLAYS POLITICS WHEN HE REQUESTS TESTING OF STORED DNA FROM A MAN EXECUTED IN 1992. HIS EXPRESSED PURPOSE IS TO PROVE THE KILLER'S INNOCENCE, BUT HIS UNEXPRESSED HOPE IS TO SUCKER CONSERVATIVE CHRISTIANS INTO HIS CAMPAIGN, LIKE A JIHAD OF JUSTICE FOR JESUS, FOR ABOLITION OF THE DEATH PENALTY AND HIS RUN FOR THE WHITE HOUSE. LIBERAL POLITICS IS ALWAYS TRANSPARENT. I MUST OBSERVE THAT THIS MURDERER'S DEMISE WAS NOT QUICK AND ECONOMICALLY EFFICIENT FOR THE TAXPAYERS, OCCURING A DECADE AFTER HIS CONVICTION. DNA SAMPLING, ADVANCED AS IT HAS BECOME, CAN BE ROUTINELY USED TODAY TO FACILITATE IDENTIFICATION AND CONVICTION OF MURDERS AND VINDICATE THE INNOCENT.

IT IS CLEAR THAT I, A CHRISTIAN, SUPPORT THE DEATH PENALTY AS A DETERRENT, A SOCIETAL PUNISHMENT AND TO SATISFY JUSTICE. THOSE WHO DISAGREE LACK FAITH IN DIVINE JUSTICE. LET ME CLARIFY. THOSE WHOSE HEARTS BLEED BLUE FOR 'ALLEGED' KILLERS, WHO DEMAND NO DEATH ROW MISTAKES, DENY THE POSSIBILITY THAT THE ERROR OF AN INNOCENT DEATH, WILL OR WILL NOT ULTIMATELY BE RECTIFIED BY A HIGHER POWER CALLED GOD. THOSE WHOSE HEADS ARE FED WITH RED BLOOD FOR EXECUTION OF DANGEROUS MURDERERS, ADMIT THE POSSIBILITY OF ERROR TOO, BUT IF A RARE MISTAKE IS COMMITTED, THEY AFFIRM THAT GOD WILL ULTIMATELY CORRECT IT. THE FORMER POSITION IS A WIN FOR CRIME AND MAN'S MERCY (NOT GOD'S ) AND A LOSS FOR SOCIETY AND GOD. THE LATTER IS A WIN FOR SOCIETY AND A WIN FOR GOD.

AS ONE WHO WILL NEVER ACCEPT A COMMON ERA BEFORE OR AFTER CHRIST, I FIGURE EVERY WASTED YEAR ON DEATH ROW, LIKE EVERY VICTIM'S LAST GASP, IS ULTIMATELY RESOLVED IN THE YEAR OF THE LORD.
