I hope thats a picture of you by your comment because that means your old and you will die soon. Then we wont have to put up with your ancient backwards bullshit anymore. I cant wait till all you old fucks are dead. Jesus's whole message was LOVE and PEACE!! LOVE thy enemy! Not execution! You call yourself a Christian? You fucking hippocrite!

[rudy12327]

Yeah cause that was Jesus' message: love God, love your neighbor, and kill all the gays.

I would have no problem with a law executing drug offenders, most are a drain on society and have no interest in changing. However, I would also like to see the death penalty extended to cases of pederasts, sodomites and abortionists.

I'm certain that someone who smokes marijuana would rather not commit a crime because they'd rather be toking up then commit one, be too lazy to do it, or chicken out. Only harder drugs may increase crime like meth, which has been seen in criminals who have committed a crime. Gingrich is an ignorant man

"I grew hemp" "Make the most of Indian Hemp Seed...sow it everywhere!" - George Washington "I think people need to be educated to the fact that marijuana is not a drug. Marijuana is an herb and a flower. God put it here. If He put it here and He wants it to grow, what gives the government the right to say that God is wrong?" - Willie Nelson My favourite thing is sitting on the porch with a pipe of sweet hemp, playing my Hohner harmonica. - Abe Lincoln

Come on...you just called one of the most educated and accomplished men in modern American politics a moron. I may disagree drastically with President Obama about policy. But I wouldn't say he's stupid.
