Last weekend, Tea Parties throughout the country held Tax Day rallies to protest bloated government budgets, ever increasing debt, and the ballooning entitlement state. Some among the Left were not content to let the Tea Party own Tax Day.
In Arkansas, an anti-Tea Party rally dubbed "Make Them Pay" took place on the steps of the state capitol. Jim Lendall, a former state representative and 2010 Green Party Gubernatorial nominee, was applauded when he took the podium to call for the beheading of businessmen and conservatives.
The French, inspired by our American Revolution, knew how to deal with the wealthy arrogant aristocrats. The French people built guillotines. Maybe we can park a guillotine in front of every chamber of commerce, corporate headquarters, bank, investment house, and Republican Party headquarters to remind them that democracy is about people, not profits. We need to tell them in one clear voice, No more greed.The video was picked up by Breitbart. Check it out. Note the amused approving smirks, the aloof comfort, and the eagerly offered applause.
The easy point to make, which Americans for Prosperity Arkansas does, is that Lendall's call to violence higlights a double-standard. What if a similar comment were made at a Tea Party rally? There's no doubt it would be a top story for days.
However, there's a more instructive point to take away. Unlike Sarah Palin's depiction of gun sights on a campaign map, this is not a political metaphor. Lendall references the French Revolution as a template for how the Left should proceed. At the very least, he suggests that the threat of violence is a legitimate political tactic...

Fidel lit up a victory cigar when he heard Che assumed room temperature.
During the Reign of Terror they also tried to install Paganism as the state religion after outlawing other faiths, they tried to dictate how people talked to each other and what they wore.
In other words, classic liberals chopping off heads.

I trust Robespierre and Madame Defarge will call upon me. I look forward to greeting them in a true American fashion.
The libtard left, floating the idea of guillotines for evil businessmen.
First, they need to get around that pesky second amendment.
They also made buying and selling with gold or silver coins a guillotine offense. You had to accept their worthless paper, or off with your head. They even ran “sting” operations to catch people at it.
Well, I am proud to say I am one of those that will need to be eliminated.
He He He
Isn’t this inciting to riot? Why isn’t he in jail?
There is a very good reason why this was called the Reign of Terror.
But they won't. They're just full of their own shit, as always.
Wow. AS coming true, even more than it was a week ago.
“The French, inspired by our American Revolution, knew how to deal with the wealthy arrogant aristocrats.”
Nancy Pelosi is a wealthy business owner who likes big jets and bigger expense accounts. Just sayin’.
Uh, they DO realize that the French revolution was to get rid of a monarchy and create individual liberty, right? The left are today’s monarchy. If they’re volunteering, well, who am I to stand in their way?
The following verbiage is Billthedrill's contribution to our thread on Part 2, Chapter 6, the chapter that introduces Directive 10-289.
Dr. Ferris suggests off-handedly that the death penalty be applied to industrialists who vanish after the practice meted out to military deserters, but Kinnan stops him. They werent quite that reluctant in Soviet Russia, which is where Rand learned most of this process. And once it started they werent reluctant in the least. For those for whom words have no meaning, death is one of those words as long as it happens to somebody else. For the elite death is simply another of those abstractions that may be played with like counters on a board, an unfortunate necessity no, not always that, but a necessity for the building of an imagined world whose inhabitants are as abstract as the words that denote them: bourgeoisie, capitalist, counter-revolutionary, wrecker, spy. Kulak. Jew. Not real people, merely abstractions. This is a culture of death, and Rand calls it by name. The death of one man is a tragedy, famously observed Stalin, the death of millions, a statistic.
