Several Left-wing groups and most of the Leftist blogs in South Dakota are crying about the upcoming execution of convicted murderer Elijah Page, practically begging Governor Rounds to spare his life.
I'm reasonably sure that during the two hours Page tortured his "friend" Chester Poage in that stream, Poage probably pleaded for his life, yet those pleas obviously fell on deaf ears. If the pleas of an innocent man went unheeded, why should we now heed pleas on behalf of someone guilty of murder?
This debate also tells us something else, not only about the value of life on the Left, but also the Left's values about life. The Left fights relentlessly (not a little, but relentlessly) for the "choice" to butcher innocent unborn children, yet they get all worked up at the just punishment of someone who has displayed casual disregard for the value of human life.
Protection of innocent life vs. protection of murderers? What does that say about the values of the Left?
