During a speech about criminal justice reform earlier this month at the annual American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) conference, anti-government crusader Grover Norquist compared criminals to fish caught in a net and exclaimed that he would like to see America revive the practice of beheading convicted killers.

“We gotta fight crime, we gotta have less crime, we have to be more secure in our persons and our property,” he said. “I’m all in favor of chopping the heads off of people who commit murder and putting people in prison for a long, long time. There’s no bleeding heart whatsoever. This is about punishing real criminals and making sure we don’t just toss everybody in the net, the porpoises and the tuna, and treating them all the same.” Read the rest here

Norquist Tells ALEC He Wants U.S. to Revive Decapitation

As long as it is a one time service to be applied to himself .......... Well - OK.

Ya, that would be almost perfect.

[-] 3 points by DKAtoday (33802) from Coon Rapids, MN 10 years ago

He could also invite his friends - Hey? To participate in the same procedure that is - {:-])

What a completely altruistic gesture to make to the betterment of all humanity - and best of all in their perspective - IS - it would be extremely cheap to do - and - better yet - they would only ever have to do it the one time. YAY!!!

[-] 2 points by GirlFriday (17435) 10 years ago

That's not a bad idea but they are actually a bunch of chicken shits.

[-] 3 points by DKAtoday (33802) from Coon Rapids, MN 10 years ago

Ahhhhhh - but give em a choice - that or pay proper taxes bring their hidden off-shore money back to the USA stop polluting the world and pay all of their employees a living wage - I think that many would go for the decapitation - less painful for em. {:-])

[-] 2 points by GirlFriday (17435) 10 years ago

I doubt it.

[-] 3 points by DKAtoday (33802) from Coon Rapids, MN 10 years ago

Still - not a problem - as long as they are made to fulfill that 1st option = pay proper taxes bring their hidden off-shore money back to the USA stop polluting the world and pay all of their employees a living wage.

It's a pretty nice fantasy. It needs some Tarantino.

LOL - Cheech holding the Axe as the choice is given?

[-] 1 points by GirlFriday (17435) 10 years ago

That will work.

See, everything is better with a little Tarantino.

Follow-up:

I mean - like - Samuel L. Jackson is quite a disappointment pimping for capital one credit cards. WTF ? Ah Hell 2 B expected I guess.

Carlin never had Sam's kind of money - though Sam could "earn" some understanding - IF - now that he's been paid - he started to bad mouth em and all credit cards. ↥twinkle ↧stinkle permalink


I understand what you are saying. I agree to an extent. In fact, I was surprised to see him in that advertizement. Here is his history in an interview he did with Playboy: http://www.playboy.com/playground/view/samuel-l-jackson-playboy-interview?page=3

So, by the same token you can't say.....well you never did jack. I have to be honest. I'm not sure that I could do the same for any other actors that are advertising credit cards. I mean, when the Henry Winkler ads came out for reverse mortgages I was disgusted and I will never look at him the same again. Ever. Am I being fair? Probably not.

SamuelLJackson Hey - How does it feel 2 prostitute Ur self 2 a credit card? It's not like U need the money. Wallstreet Next? Fossil Fuel?

[-] 2 points by DKAtoday (33802) from Coon Rapids, MN 10 years ago

Am I being fair?

U Bet. All of those celebs should be ashamed for prostituting themselves for the banks or fossil fuel or wallstreet or Insurance companies or or

Seems like they only ( mostly ) do social service - when they get "sentenced" to do community service.

Then you have people like Sean Penn and Matt Damon whose motto seems to be-oh, I can AND I will.

George Clooney & Julia Roberts?

Yes advocating for charities - how nice. It really pisses me off that no-one ( especially the charities themselves ) actually advocates for removing - say - identified/known toxins/carcinogens from our supermarkets as in foods and personal hygiene products or even from the pharmacy. ↥twinkle ↧stinkle permalink


Clooney much more so than Julia Roberts. I like Julia Roberts but he was much more active-physically. Darfur really pisses me off.

You know, I don't know how many actors or if there are any involved in removing anything from the shelves of a store. I might have just missed it.

[-] 2 points by DKAtoday (33802) from Coon Rapids, MN 10 years ago

Well it is not just off of the shelves of a store - it is also speaking out against all of the ills of fossil fuel and the lies promoted by fossil fuel companies as well - along with these companies dark doings in other countries that is not only toxic but is also murderous. And it is not just actors - it is all celebs - and the fact that world wide mission charities do not speak of such things is also so very very wrong.

[-] 1 points by GirlFriday (17435) 10 years ago

lol. Many of them do seem to only do social services as community service. There are others that are involved in services or lend their name to them that comes off more like a.........buying the stair way to heaven deal (save only the cute animals) or that I say, how very nice and don't look back.

This is in part because I am familiar with that specific charity OR it isn't something that I am very strongly attached to on my personal list of causes.

Ya, I saw that. I was like..really?

[-] 2 points by DKAtoday (33802) from Coon Rapids, MN 10 years ago

OH Hell - I don't know why I ever expected anything better from him - sure he made a nice ad for the people a while ago - but he also got paid to do it - it was not his idea or cause.

[-] 1 points by GirlFriday (17435) 10 years ago

You know, George Carlin made some questionable ads and I remember him addressing his hypocrisy. He said something along the lines of, "You gotta eat." I understand that. Has he taken to Ted Nugent rants? Or is he considering a run for AZ governor like Steven Seagal?

Nah. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y-vDYOpkoWE

Exactly.

You ready for this -50 crap? I think our high on Monday is -12.

[-] 2 points by DKAtoday (33802) from Coon Rapids, MN 10 years ago

I really am not looking forward to the next few days. We are forecast-ed -30 Monday - that without windchill. Got a fireplace? I'll bring drinks {:-])

[-] 1 points by GirlFriday (17435) 10 years ago

No fireplace. I do have a pretty good stack of books and blankets. I could put a dvd in of a fireplace or..........a dvd of a fire.....or something burning down or a candle. Ya, we have snow until tomorrow night and then the temp drop.

Something burning down . . . . . Hmmmmm ....... Wallstreet?

U R making the road trip idea sound pretty good. {:-])

How about 'Decapitate Norquist'?! I really hate that freak so I'll volunteer - so long as I can use a rusty, old butter knife to do it! Or we could send him on a one way ticket to Saudi Arabia lol.

He should really quit channeling Ted Nugent.

ALEC (and it's donors) should be charged immediately by the IRS and be forced to pay all it's back taxes with fines and interest. (38% sounds about right)

[-] 3 points by GirlFriday (17435) 10 years ago

Well, that is what we are hoping for. The IRS should be investigating these organizations.

[-] 2 points by MattLHolck (16833) from San Diego, CA 10 years ago

38% percent off the top wealth

should still drive entrepreneurs to strive

to get the public's dollar

so the government could redistribute 38% of the total wealth (money)

while those that seek money can compete for the remaining 62%

[-] 2 points by shoozTroll (17632) 10 years ago

Wait? What?

You want to remove 38% off the top of Norquist?

You should talk to ZD about that..................................:)

[-] 2 points by MattLHolck (16833) from San Diego, CA 10 years ago

lol

such a chum to ruminate with

[-] 2 points by shoozTroll (17632) 10 years ago

Just your style, though much wordier.

Education is the key to most of these problems with violence, and we are currently doing a horrific job in that department.

Until the current trend of less and less educated people changes, expect the crime to keep going forward.

Grover is an idiot, another politician that wants to make a soundbite out of the symptoms, and ignore the causes.

I'm with Ache4Change, lets start with him first.
