America has the death penalty because the majority of its people want it

America has the death penalty because the majority of its people want it. That’s called democracy, and leftists don't like democracy when people disagree with them.

By contrast, Europeans are crying out for the death penalty, but cannot have it thanks to the EU "elite" who ban it regardless of the democratic desire for it. Der Spiegel newspaper found that in 4 out of 5 European countries, a majority supported the execution of Saddam Hussein. And if you support the death penalty for any crime, it’s fair to call you pro-death penalty.

America is a democracy, land of the free and home of the brave. It is the sword and shield of freedom. It has proper punishments for criminals supported by a democratic majority of its people. I offer it my total support.
