Gruesome GOP crowd applauds Perry's execution of 284 humans
snip

How can a party that has such blatant and justified mistrust for government intervention; a party that believes (or claims to believe) that the government fails at most things; a party that believes the government isn't even good at helping the poor; actually believe that this same government is perfect enough, is infallible enough, to take the life of another human being? Isn't that a blatant contradiction?

I know, they are convicted criminals. Perry was quick to point that out. But, he is also quick to point out that the government is wrong when it comes to Keynesian economics or intervention in the health care market. If the government which, after all, is made up of imperfect individuals, could be wrong about those things, couldn't it be wrong about others? Isn't it possible that the government got some of those convictions wrong as well? The government, we all know, is not perfect.

1. Their party is so full of contradictions
that if they ever really sat down and THOUGHT about any of it, their heads would explode. Have you seen all the posts about what you have to believe to be a Republican these days.

2. They're Republicans, so killing trumps everything else.
Misery and death for everybody!
