Fluffy-hearted liberals who try never to elevate their voices — unless in anger, protest or their favorite pastime, mockery – have found an old but driving cause to boom their voices across the modest patch of land that the traditionally tenuously timorous Los Angeles Times covers.
Megaphone in one hand, aspirins in the other, the tart Times’s lead editorial yesterday bellowed out a warning to the Boston Marathon bombing jury:
“Do not kill Butch Tsarnaev.”
Give a 19-year-old kid a decent break.
“No crime warrants the death penalty,” said the Times.
Across the world, Muslim terrorists sighed with beatific gratefulness, knowing that when they sneak up on our shores, no matter how many Americans they behead or slaughter, they will live until natural causes snuff out their well-lived lives.
Displaying the fine spirit of generosity that has become associated with leftists in recent turbulent times, the upper-case Times conceded that yeah, Butch murdered three people. Okay, he maimed 264. And we grant that he destroyed the lives of hundreds of families.
But putting Butch to death for this?, the Times argued. My God. How harsh. How final.
Throwing in its chest, the Times, acting as the newly ordained arbiter of American morality, contended that “(t)he jury should reject capital punishment … because that is how a mature society acts.”
Who knew we had matured overnight?
Who knew that maturation meant stashing the death penalty in the nearest waste basket?
Who knew the liberal bible was the new law of the land?
According to the Times, a mature society acts:
- “Not out of vengeance.
- “Not out of passion.
- “Killing another human being is immoral, whether by bomb or lethal injection.”
The Times, as you can see, especially with the third declaration, is no stranger to preposterousness.
Killing is immoral? Boys, boys.
I trust that when a Bad Guy next breaks into the home or the tent of one of the lily-livered libs who sashayed into the room and approved this editorial, that LLL will say, “I would shoot you pal, but that is immoral. Go ahead and kill me. It’s worth it.”
Darn. If the Times is right, there go my years of education and religious commitment.
The editorial said that to execute Butchie “would be to adopt the mentality of terrorists.”
My gosh, that makes so much sense, except of course to non-terrorists.
The Times admitted that it sinned – or whatever concept anti-religious liberals employ – when bellowing for Tim McVeigh to be executed after he killed 168 people in Oklahoma City.
I thought they would admit it was because Mr. McVeigh was identified with conservative causes.
But the Times said it only wanted the mass killer killed out of childish retribution.
“Bless us, readers, for we have sinned,” the Times admitted, “and for that we are darned sorry.”
In honor of the Times this afternoon, I intend to kill a little time.
