Quoted: Liberalism is a Mental Disorder and it's destroying this Nation

Liberals don’t have the moral certainty to deal with crime.
A very good friend of mine did something really stupid when he was a teenager… (Breaking into storage warehouses and stealing crap.) And he got to spend a couple years in prison. He’s not, and wasn’t, evil. He was just stupid.
In my world he wouldn’t have gone to jail. He would have been dragged kicking and screaming to a post outside the courthouse one Saturday afternoon and given a good public beating with a whip or cane. All his friends could have come out and watched. People could have gathered, insulted, and ridiculed him when he started screaming and whimpering in pain.
Then, when the beating was over, a doctor would treat his injuries, the cops would take him back home, tell him “Don’t do that again”, and that would be that. My friend would have suffered in pain for a couple days and would have been publicly humiliated, but he wouldn’t have lost two years of his life.
Prison is a terrible punishment in that it costs you years of your life, you loose your job, your family, your friends, your school. But it’s not much of a deterrent. Yet liberals consider prison to be a good form of punishment and think the public beating punishment I believe in are barbaric… Why?
Because they don’t have to see you suffer in prison. You are out of sight and out of mind. I believe that theft is a bad thing so I can deal with the screams and pleas for mercy from a thief. But liberals aren’t really sure… No moral certainty.
When someone is capable of abducting and raping a little girl I’m confident enough to say that person is too dangerous to be allowed to live. Being a normal compassionate person I’m sure the rapists pleas for mercy would touch my heart. I might even have a tear in my eye when I shot them in the head. Probably would feel bad for at least a week too. I might cry for ‘Old Yeller’ but I would still put the rabid dog down.
A liberal can’t do that though. They can’t really face punishing anyone. So they send them off to prison to fade away. Then some more liberals release them in a few years, figuring the rapist has truly reformed.
BTW there’s a very important reason why I favor execution by gunfire. It’s fast and painless if you shoot the person right. But more importantly, it’s messy. Blood and brains go everywhere.
Punishing people should NEVER be an easy thing for society to do. We need to face the fact that we are actually killing people for justice. And if we can’t face it then maybe we are executing people for the wrong reasons. That’s why I don’t like the whole lethal injection thing. It’s too clean.
