Swearing doesn’t improve your argument. It just makes you seem unintelligent.
You should be able to articulate your opinions in a convincing manner without cursing.
George Washington knew that. People (especially politicians) could use the reminder.
This post by the Utah Governor is an absolute embarrassment. Way to offend everybody. To call BYU fans insufferable, and Notre Dame arrogant, is something special. And not in a good way. Embarrassing…..
@Milajoy It’s not even a rule. It’s an abuse of the lack of a rule that was created by accident when the previous question notion was removed. The senate was meant to operate on simple majority, not minority rule.
If the United States is to be a city upon a hill, then we cannot hide from the hard work required to be so. We must be willing carry out public executions and let the world see that this great nation will not tolerate evil.
John Jay, Thomas Jefferson, and George Washington were all know for their leniency and mercy.
They also all understood that some crimes demanded death, and that those deaths demanded public witness.
President Trump needs to reverse his decision to cancel the livestream.

Though regulation is indeed far too heavy, it’s not the entire problem, as even Adam Smith acknowledged the part government has to play in a successful capitalist economy. The bigger issue is the implementation of the socialist welfare programs that enslave our citizens and increse government debt…
@KimballCall Agreed. If the United States was meant to be a city upon a hill, then Utah was meant to be a supernova admist a midnight sky. We should do all we can to preserve that greatness and cleanliness.
@LukeFHan The intellectually ignorant and dishonest misappropriate “separation of church and state” because they want to stop you from using your religious morals to influence politics while they use their religiously-secular morals to do just that.
I am getting lots of incoming questions about the public execution of Nidal Hasan, mostly because I have been outspoken on wanting public executions for over a decade.
My position is simple: Executions should be public and brutal, not private and medicalized. They are the ultimate example of the state's monopoly on violence, and the only way to keep that from running out of control is to confront voters with the trade they have made every single time, that they might have appropiate confidence or revulsion in the institution.
This is not new thinking. George Washington thought the same. The way we have shifted from hanging to firing squads to doctors quietly injecting chemicals that send our worst gently off to sleep is awful and dystopian, a total short-circuiting of important feedback mechanisms. It makes needless executions more likely, not less so. People who demean this as barbaric or yucky miss the whole point. It doesn't somehow become torture or inhumane (as the UN is suddenly claiming) just because we decline to hide the act behind a curtain.
And then there are those who suggest any revel in the death of those who truly deserve it is an indicator of a broken or diseased mind. To the contrary. It is normal, good, and aligned with our natural and national order. That it has not been done here in 60 years is an indictment in and of itself.
And that is without even getting into the fact that men were not hung for stealing horse, but that horses may not be stolen.
"I would to God that one of the most attrocious in each State was hung in Gibbets, up on a gallows five times as high as the one prepared by Haman. No punishment, in my opinion, is too great for the Man, who can build his greatness upon his Country’s ruin."
- George Washington, 1778
