The Maverick Conservative

Did I mention that "The Magnificent Seven Ride" (only a middling movie) begins as a virtual tract in FAVOR of the death penalty (See the series of entries today in this blog on the intended PROPAGANDA AP/AOL article on the death penalty in Texas featured on AOL today, including entries on AOL comments under that article)..

At the urging of his bleeding heart wife ("He's only 18"), Lee Van Cleef lets an 18 year old criminal go, DESPITE quoting Judge Parker:  "No one I ever hanged killed anyone after that;  a LOT of people I did not hang killed people after that."

The 18 year old, of course, promptly became part of an armed robbery, where Van Cleef was shot, and his bleeding heart wife kidnapped, raped, and murdered.  Unfortunately, of course, it is not usually the bleeding heart leftists who are directly the victims of these people who kill again.  It is, rather, innocent people (sometimes not so innocent, dealing out the death penalty in prison to other innmates).

Maybe MIke Huckabee should have seen this movie and taken it to heart (along wiht many of the leftists commenting here).
