I didn't. I answered your question.
We’re talking about Lurker’s g-d like power to decide there are some folks who don’t even deserve a discussion of clemency.
We are having the discussion. Pollard has had all of his legal rights respected and all of his due process has been delivered right up to SCOTUS. He's lost at every turn.
Clemency means considering mitigating or other circumstances why a sentence, once imposed, should be reconsidered and shortened or otherwise ameliorated.
I've considered it and rejected it. He committed and admitted to multiple acts of Espionage against the United States. He did it for money. He's scum. Let him rot.
I don’t know, nor do I inquire about your beliefs, but, I am compelled to say: “how very un-Christian of you”
Blow me. Has Pollard asked for forgiveness? Has he repented of his behavior or has he continued to try to disseminate classified information? According to published reports he has continued to try to release classified information in letters from his prison cell. That's hardly expressing remorse. Nor is it repenting of his crimes.
You have a very poor knowledge of the Christian concept of forgiveness. Forgiveness should only be given when the person who wronged you truly repents and asks for it. Pollard has done neither.
Therefore he is undeserving of any clemency or forgiveness.
Then why didn't he sell what he knew about Israel to the Arabs? He certainly was in a position to cash in on what we knew about Israel without betraying his country.
If it has anything to do with your attitude, I am proud of my poor knowledge of the Christian concept of forgiveness. But I do remember quite a different attitude expressed elsewhere about turning the other cheek, loving your fellow man, peace and good will.
You are full of vengeance and hatred, so I won’t be relying on your definitions of Christian concepts, nor will I be blowing you. Perhhaps you will find solace in the army nowadays and you would do us all proud if you volunteered for some very, very dangerous front-line duty real soon.
You’ve proved a pathetic, unarmed opponent in a contest of thinking and logic. All you’ve got is your insults and your hatred. It’s like arguing with your kid sister who just says nu-uh to every statement of fact and logic.
As many of my good Christian friends on this site know, “I will bless those who bless you and curse those who curse you.” You are in deep, deep doo doo.
