Roseanne Barr is another lefty who’s gone completely off the deep end. Oh, and did you know she’s running for president? In a recent interview with Russia Today she said she’d like to bring back the guillotine and use it to behead “guilty bankers” who refuse to give up their wealth. But really, her plan isn’t too radical, you know, since she also said they should be afforded the opportunity to enter reeducation camps before losing their heads.
“Part of my platform is, of course, the guilty must be punished and that we no longer let our children see their guilty leaders getting away with murder. Because it teaches children, you know, that they don’t have to have any morals as long as they have guns and are bullies and I don’t think that’s a good message,” Barr told Russia Today (RT).
“I do say that I am in favor of the return of the guillotine and that is for the worst of the worst of the guilty.
“I first would allow the guilty bankers to pay, you know, the ability to pay back anything over $100 million [of] personal wealth because I believe in a maximum wage of $100 million. And if they are unable to live on that amount of that amount then they should, you know, go to the reeducation camps and if that doesn’t help, then being beheaded,” Barr said with a straight face.

Cheka (ЧК – чрезвыча́йная коми́ссия Chrezvychaynaya Komissiya, Extraordinary Commission Russian pronunciation: [tɕɛ.ˈka]) was the first of a succession of Soviet state security organizations. It was created by a decree issued on December 20, 1917, by Vladimir Lenin and subsequently led by aristocrat turned communist Felix Dzerzhinsky.[1] After 1922, the Cheka underwent a series of reorganizations into bodies whose members continued to be referred to as “Chekisty” (Chekists) into the late 1980s.[2]
From its founding, the Cheka was an important military and security arm of the Bolshevik communist government. In 1921 the Troops for the Internal Defense of the Republic (a branch of the Cheka) numbered 200,000. These troops policed labor camps; ran the Gulag system; conducted requisitions of food; ******subjected political opponents (on both the right and the left) to torture and summary execution;******* and put down rebellions and riots by workers and peasants, and mutinies in the desertion-plagued Red Army.[3]

…if we’re gonna start beheading people who are guilty of stealing money—that is, taking it in return for NOTHING of value–maybe we should star with her. What’s her worth? How much has she got in the bank, give to her for NOTHING? I never did understand how this trash-mouthed woman made it out of scuzzy “comedy clubs” to some kind of celebrity. Kind of like watching an abortion–some people dip realllllly low for their entertainment.
Why is no one questioning the outrageous amounts of money “earned” by celebrities who don’t put in nearly the hours of a Wall Street investment banker???

Roseanne Barr… too ignorant for effective satire and not funny enough to be taken seriously. That anyone gives her the time of day is an affront to those that care about our Republic. She is a hypocrite. She certainly does not represent the people of the United States of America. She barely represents the tone deaf elite of which she believes she is a viable part. One can presume that since she has yet to write the check transferring her vast wealth to our common good yet continues to vomit her nonsense whenever given the chance. One must presume she gets a check for that effort. Stop sending heo checks and perhaps she will crawl back under the rock from whence she slithered.

I saw a sign held by one of the wingnuts at the Wallstreet protest. “Live simply so that others can simply live”. What they really mean is that those who work their butts off to produce in abundance should keep doing so but should have much of it taken from them and given to others that produce little of nothing. What a cute little slogan that is meaningless and shows total ignorance. No one will continue to produce at high levels when the fruits of their labor are taken from them. If you do then what seemed like enough for everyone dwindles to be not enough for anyone. Just ask the former Soviet Union.
