Justice may finally be done soon on one of the convicted murderers in South Dakota’s penitentiary.
From the Rapid City Journal:
Attorney General Marty Jackley has asked a judge to set an execution date for 50-year-old Eric Robert the week of Oct. 14.
Robert pleaded guilty to killing guard Ron Johnson during a failed escape attempt last year and asked to be put to death. He was to be executed by lethal injection in May but the state Supreme Court postponed the execution so it could do a mandatory review of the sentence. The high court last Thursday unanimously upheld the death sentence.
Robert and another inmate, Rodney Berget, beat Johnson with a metal pipe and wrapped his head in plastic. Robert then attempted to escape the prison wearing Johnson’s uniform. It happened to be the guard’s 63rd birthday.
Robert was in the pen on an 80 year sentence for kidnapping a woman in 2005 by locking her in the trunk of her car after pulling her over while impersonating a cop. The woman called police on her cell phone from the trunk, and when the police found them (before harm could come to the woman), they ended up finding a rope and shovel in Robert’s car.
A woman Robert used to live with has testified that he used to beat her until she would submit to sex, then he would rape her.
This is a violent piece of human debris who is a danger to humanity–obviously, including those who must guard him while he continues to consume oxygen. God may forgive him, and for his sake I hope he’ll ask for it, but he owes a debt that he can only pay with his life.
For justice sake, that bill should come due as soon as possible.
Convicted murderer Donald Moeller is also slated to be executed in a couple of months. The family of his victim, Becky O’Connell, have been waiting some 22 years for justice after Moeller abducted, raped and stabbed to death this 9-year-old girl.
We need to be sure the accused have a fair trial, but once they have been convicted and any reasonable review has been conducted to ensure a fair trial, dirtbags like these who have no regard for innocent human life need to receive the justice they deserve, and receive it quickly. We owe it to them, we owe it to the victims and the families of the victims, and to society.

It's how you use it
This “broken” immigration system is by design. We can pass all the legislation one desires but if laws are not enforced, they are “broken.” And the design I reference has now become obvious with the “supreme” court’s latest unconstitutional decree which, if nothing else, supports this broken chorus! In a 7-2 anti Arizona immigration decision, these ill behaved black robes have once again turned their back on our law of the land as they assign more legitimacy to foreigners than to our Constitution.
Don't you just love it when liberals (selectively) thump the Bible to browbeat good people into going along with things the Bible clearly doesn't say or condone? Ohio Governor John Kasich is now trying to scam people into believing God is a socialist and He wants Kasich to take your property and give it to other people. Last time I checked, neither the Bible nor the U.S. Constitution gave authority for that.
GOP support for the amnesty bill is drying up like a wad of spit on the sand along the southern border of the United States. Interestingly, Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL), who was backed by the Tea Party when he was elected, has not only pushed this turd of an amnesty bill with the worst of them (like Demagogue Senator Chuck Schumer), but voted against securing the border today.
In case you missed it, Rush Limbaugh interviewed Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) on his radio show earlier today. There are RINOs, there are Republicans who disappoint and flirt with becoming RINOs...and then there are real Republicans. There is every indication that Ted Cruz is the real deal, and is a reliable Republican. He tells the truth, tells it like it is, and ticks off the "mainstream" media and other liberals something fierce.
Do you know what a "demagogue" is? Webster's dictionary defines demagogue as "a leader who makes use of popular prejudices and false claims and promises in order to gain power." Does that describe any politicians you know? Does that describe a particular political party that you've heard of?

"We don't intend to turn the Republican Party over to the traitors in the battle just ended. We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged to the same goals as our opposition and who seek our support. Turning the party over to the so-called moderates wouldn't make any sense at all." - Ronald Reagan, Nov. 10, 1964 |
