Funny, I always thought that robbing ( I mean taxing) the rich was the left’s modus operandi?

Isn’t Robin Hood about stealing from the rich to give to the poor? I Haven’t watched the movie in years but that seems pretty left wing

They’re taking back what was unjustly stolen by the capitalist-statist corpocracy. Totally conservative in my book.

If they want to live without rule of law, they should move to Somalia.

But couldn’t one argue that it’s Prince John and his baronial cohorts who are rejecting the rule of law?

The only thing that matters is the war on banditry.

Scott and Neil -

Read the post. If that doesn’t do it, re-watch the movie. The parallels are pretty funny.
