[D-Maine] U.S. Senate candidate selects guillotine as ‘symbol of the work we have to do’ [ed]
Portland Press Herald ^ | February 6, 2020 | Rachel Ohm

A U.S. Senate candidate in Maine has selected an unusual logo for campaign T-shirts – the guillotine – citing the need for a revolution to remove big money from politics.

The logo, unveiled this week by Democrat Bre Kidman, recalls the execution device known for its role in the 18th century French Revolution and is intended to symbolize revolt by low- and middle-income people, Kidman said.

“The guillotine is an image which calls to mind what people have done for revolution before,” said Kidman, an attorney who’s running for the seat held by Republican Sen. Susan Collins. “If we can find a better path to revolution than that we owe it to ourselves and our country.”

She may not also be aware that after a few years of the Reign of Terror, the people turned against Robespierre and the Jacobins and Robespierre ended up in the guillotine himself.

Rich Logis in American Thinker: "The Democratic Party is the most dangerous group in the history of our republic, foreign or domestic — more than the Islamic supremacists, more than the Nazis, more than the Soviets and more than the communists."

Let this be fair warning to ALL AMERICANS!

What happens when LIEberal Democrats are elected to public office?

LIEberal Democrats LIE TO, CHEAT AND STEAL FROM We The People!

LIEberal Democrats routinely violate the law and ignore the US Constitution!

LIEberal Democrats routinely destroy once viable and thriving cities and states!

Want proof? See San Francisco! Chicago! Baltimore! Los Angeles! Detroit! Minneapolis! See California! Oregon! Washington! Colorado! Illinois! New York! And now, Virginia!

TAXMAN: “A vote for ANY LIEberal, whether it be in a local, state or federal election, is a vote against America!”

POTUS: “A vote for any Democrat in 2020 is a vote for the rise of radical socialism and the destruction of the American dream!”

TAXMAN: “America cannot survive a LIEberal victory in 2020!”

Fine. If that’s his symbol...ok.

Ours is an AK47 in a clenched Red White and Blue fist... held by the Statue of Liberty...

“ Ours is an AK47...”

Really? Huh.

Maybe yours is. Mine is American made.

Symbol? I was hoping we could just use a new improved one, a rotary fan with five head holes and razor-sharp blades.

Bre is one of four candidates vieing for the democrat nomination. She has raised about $15,000. She needs to collect 2,000 signatures to get on the ballot. This is not an easy task as even Sen Collins has not completed the task with an army of collectors.

A couple of weeks ago I was walking down our main street (Congress Street) and passed a woman collecting signatures. She asked me if I was a registered democrat which I replied no. I asked who she was collecting for and she told me herself, Bre Kidman to run for U.S. Senate. I wished her luck and continued on my way.

She will never be able to collect 2,000 on her own.

Robespierre never had to contend with a would-be victim armed with an AR-15.
