Why American Conservatives Are Suddenly Freaking Out About Guillotines
http://www.alternet.org/economy/why-american-conservatives-are-suddenly-freaking-out-about-guillotines
On the June cover of the conservative magazine American Spectator, a vision arises from the collective unconscious of the rich. Angry citizens look on as a monocled fatcat is led to a blood-soaked guillotine, calling up the memory of the Reign of Terror during the French Revolution, when tens of thousands were executed, many by what came to be known as the "National Razor." The caption reads, “The New Class Warfare: Thomas Piketty’s intellectual cover for confiscation.†One member of the mob can be seen holding up a bloody copy of the French economist's recent book, Capital in the 21st Century.
blah blah blah

33. Unbelievable Whiners
The rich are--My general reaction to these persecution remarks or articles like this from the rich are more or less "What a bunch of babies, as you can't even talk about someone raising your taxes without whining."
Now my thinking has gone to "Not yet Mr. Oligarch, we've not guillotined you yet, but you just keep on doing what you're doing, and we'll get there."

26. They have had how many chances to not be assholes?
At this point the position of a rightwing one percenter is unacceptable to the human race, just cant allow it any longer as it is killing all life on the planet whether it be thru economics or climate change

6. Guillotines are actually very humane, and were designed with that in mind.
A far better system than that endured by the "common folk" in this country. They should be grateful.

11. A few months ago, someone posted a very nice
pic of a Guillotine. Which I call the 1792 French Solution. Every now and then I post it on fb. Put that sucker on Wall Street and the Congress. Off with their heads, confiscate their ill-gotten wealth, put their spouses and spawn out on the street.. In a Christian manner, of course. I'm not even sure anymore if I'm being sarcastic. After all, don't the Teabaggers tell us all the time how Jefferson said the Tree of Liberty needs to be nourished with the blood of tyrants from time to time?

14. Put that sucker on Wall Street
in place of the Wall Street Bull as a daily reminder of the consequence of greed.

19. Reform or revolution. That is always the choice.
If the political system is too corrupt to reform it will disintegrate. Who gets their heads lopped off depends on how that disintegration occurs.

DUAC! DUAC! DUAC!
All talk, no action. There are as many Dem stalwarts in that 1% 'Fat cat' population as there are Republicans, if you idiots had the balls to do anything, which you don't, Obama and Holder would have your asses gunned down in the streets as fast as any hardcore Republican would.
Dream on, ridiculous and ineffectual fools, you amuse me.

DUmmies, look at that idiotic mob mentality on your impotent little thread on a dopey internet board. You don't matter.

20. Sound like a good idea.
To paraphrase:
Q: What do you call it when a couple of Goldmann-Sachs executives go to the guillotine?
A: A GOOD START!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
From your beloved alternet:

ETA: As the thread developed, they made each other more and more bloodthirsty, coming right and saying "kill them in their beds or the street!"
We have all the guns, though.

Yep, sounds like it is almost time. If we start now we may be able to salvage some of the late summer.

Incredible!
"Why are they talking about possibly being killed? If they don't stop behaving the way they do, we're going to kill them."
You just can't invent the crazy they do everyday.

Now correct me if I'm wrong, but is not the political party that not only shows how corrupt it is on a daily basis and in some cases is proud of that corruption the demoNcrat party?

I'd say mostly the second, with some of this :stoner: and a lot of this :pervert: thrown in.

Apparently I freaked out so badly about it that my brained formed a mental block that blocks the memory of me freaking out.

I would love to see folks like Michael Moore and AlGore campaign for beheading the 1%. Oh the irony. Libs seem immune to it.

Odd. They get all panty-wadded about the death penalty, but endorse murder for the folks they don't like.
