What About Fair Trials and Innocent Until Proven Guilty?

What About Fair Trials and Innocent Until Proven Guilty?

Let me first start out by saying I have no love for BP, and I’m not trying to defend any of their actions and such.  If any BP executive knowingly did anything to cause or neglect the oil spill situation then I hope charges will be brought if need be.   I strongly hope a fair and independent commission will investigate this disaster on both BP’s and the governments role in it.  Unfortunately, I don’t think fair will be involved as anything with dealing with the oil industry will be met with extreme bias.

However, what I have been seeing from the left has been nothing less than disgusting and hypocritical - two staples of liberalism.  Whether it has been on forums, or social networks like Twitter and Facebook, I have seen so many comments from people demanding BP execs be jailed without trial, and even executed.  I have seen so-called tech “celebrities” encouraging people to assault BP execs and even employees.  The real funny thing, looking back through their comments these people have falsely accused the Tea Party of violence, and condemned them for being “angry”.  Wow, what hypocrisy.

The real sad and pathetic part is these are people who stomp and cry for Constitutional rights for islamic terrorists, demand they have taxpayer funded public trials, and go out of their way to proclaim their innocence because they were captured on a battlefield.

This really shows the mentality of the left wing in this country.

Ultimately, I asked: why do you claim the embarassing marginal liberal fringe represent the whole liberal mentality? There are nuts on our side. There are nuts on your side.

I Think Dr Guy wrote something about it awhile back, if I recall correctly. Something about a big "L" and little "l". Liberals are some of the folks that  are offended when they are called liberal. Never heard of a conservative being offend by being refereed to as such. So it's my belief that liberals in general have not yet come to terms with what they want, or think they want to represent. Consistency is lacking. Are they for or against religion (they do seem to promote Islam while criticizing Christianity), are they for political ethics (they say they are. Remember "draining the swamp"?, news says otherwise), are they serious about the economy (I never seen a poor person spend themselves into prosperity). I could go on and on. Some would say, well conservatives don't have the answers, and they would be correct, but conservatives aren't in full control of the government either.

I always had the feeling that most U.S. media had an insufferable pro-U.S. and right-wing bias. Including the big television networks.

You must not be watching enough if you haven't got your "tingle" down your leg yet. See it before the ratings plummet, or it goes belly up (Newsweek).

This from the Ban king?  Seems you are thin skinned, yet continue to cast aspersions instead of offering substantive comment.

A small minded person indeed, as well as being indicative of and proof of the question.

But, what can be expected from a person with "infidel" for a forum name and using caps  and name calling to make a point (if this person ever had one anyways).

I guess I am supposed to be told what I think?  Sorry, that only works with mind numbed robotic liberals. I think for myself.  Do you?
