Due to my travels and the general chaos in my life and work, I haven't been able to pay attention to the birds until recently. I have posted previously about the Pileated Woodpecker and Stellar's Jay.
We recently put up a bird feeder with four different types of bird food. It has wild bird seed mix, two different suet mixes and nectar for hummingbirds. In the past few days we have seen several different birds, but no hummingbirds.
In Maryland, Illinois, Connecticut, New York, New Mexico and others, for the commission of the most heinous crimes you are punished with free room and board for life.
Maryland lawmakers voted to repeal the death penalty following five other U.S. states that have ended capital punishment in the past six years.
The House of Delegates today passed a bill that would stop prosecutors from seeking to execute those convicted of murder, the only crime for which the state allows capital punishment. The measure passed the Senate earlier this month, and Democratic Governor Martin O’Malley plans to sign it, said Takirra Winfield, a spokeswoman.
Yes, a very, very few have been wrongfully convicted. So we should risk allowing some of these real monsters to be free? (And, yes, some will be.) I think not. and after they commit more of their heinous crimes most other people will not either. The experience of the 1970's show this.
If the Left™ should succeed in abolishing capital punishment in the United States their next move will be that a sentence of Life without Parole is unconstitutional and should be abolished. We have already heard whispers of this at protests.
Lastly, a punishment is not a deterrent if it is not used.
There are some disturbing things here and some emotional testimony.
Anyone who can watch this and still support abortion as something that shouldn't be restricted to only the most dire cases, such as the mother' impending death, is soulless. Still, it is important to see the whole thing.
In addition to the tragedies to the children and parents and families of abortion victims (yes, that includes the women who had the abortions) there is the evil of Planned Parenthood. You will be shocked at what they get away with.
If you support tax dollars going to Planned Parenthood, indeed if you support them in any way, you are a fool.
