Candy For Idiots

As you are most likely keenly aware, the Supreme Court decided yesterday that states don’t have the right to execute child molesters and rapists stating that the Eighth Amendment would consider this to be “cruel and unusual punishment”. Disgusting, I know… I’m peeved beyond belief because of it. I think it’s a blatant infringement on states rights and I would love to see a Constitutional Amendment be passed overriding the Supreme Court and allowing states to decide which crimes are worth the death penalty and which aren’t.

As pissed off as that court decision made me, nothing compares to the statement made by the Texas Association Against Sexual Assault, which applauded the Supreme Court’s ruling. OK, read their group name again. The Texas Association Against Sexual Assault:

“Most child sexual abuse victims are abused by a family member or close family friend,” the group said in a statement. “The reality is that child victims and their families don’t want to be responsible for sending a grandparent, cousin or long time family friend to death row.” [Emphasis added]

This is where our society has gone horribly wrong and where we need to reevaluate who exactly is and isn’t responsible for crimes. Excuse me, Texas Ass. “Against” Sexual Assault, the child isn’t the one “RESPONSIBLE” for sending a POSSIBLE family member to death row, you scum bag mother f*ckers. No, you dumb asses, the responsibility falls on the person RAPING AND MOLESTING A CHILD! That blanket statement is the most abhorrent thing I have ever read because they are essentially putting the stigma of such an act on the child’s shoulders. Shame on you Texas Ass. “Against” Sexual Assault, and shame on anyone who feels the same way.

What the hell is wrong with the people in this country?

Update

I’ve sent the Texas Ass. “Against” Sexual Assault an email informing them of my disgust of their organization, and I encourage you all to do the same thing. Here’s what I wrote:

In a recent article on CNN.com (http://www.cnn.com/2008/CRIME/06/26/scotus.child.rape.ap/index.html?eref=rss_topstories), your organization was quoted as saying:

“Most child sexual abuse victims are abused by a family member or close family friend,” the group said in a statement. “The reality is that child victims and their families don’t want to be responsible for sending a grandparent, cousin or long time family friend to death row.”

Whereas your organization has the right to support and applaud horrible acts of legislation from the Supreme Courts judicial bench, I think your organization is grossly misguided in putting the stigma of the act of sexual abuse, or the subsequent punishment stemming from that sexual abuse, on the shoulders of a child.

News flash since your organization obviously doesn’t understand the concept of blame: the person who raped and or molested the child is the one “RESPONSIBLE” for the outcome of that persons decisions, not the child! That quote by your organization is the most unbelievable thing I have ever read in my life and I am calling on you to retract that statement immediately.

Without a doubt, civil liberty and the constitution was reinforced today with the Supreme Court’s ruling on Heller v. DC. What’s more, the Supreme Court reaffirmed the meaning of the Second Amendment as quoted below from the ruling:

The “militia” comprised all males physically capable of acting in concert for the common defense. The Antifederalists feared that the Federal Government would disarm the people in order to disable this citizens’ militia, enabling a politicized standing army or a select militia to rule. The response was to deny Congress power to abridge the ancient right of individuals to keep and bear arms, so that the ideal of a citizens’ militia would be preserved.

…Similarly, the requirement that any lawful firearm in the home be disassembled or bound by a trigger lock makes it impossible for citizens to use arms for the core lawful purpose of self-defense and is hence unconstitutional.

This is absolutely outstanding and I appreciate the court accurately interpreting the Second Amendment. But it makes me wonder where the values of our Supreme Court Justices really are, after their ban of allowing states to propose the death penalty for child rapists? Where are the “individual rights” of children who have been physically and mentally tortured by bottom feeding scum bags?

Oh well, all in all, it’s a good day so far.
