Socialism still seduces simpletons. Behold Obama's popularity. Cuba is a canary in the coal mine they ignore at everyone's peril.

excellent.

Hmm, must of heard wrong. I thought he was a robbin' hood.

Yes, a lot of people, far too many, were only too happy to benefit, or to be promised benefit, from the blatant theft of other people's legitimate property. My grandfather, who started poor and with nothing, not even a high school education, rose through serious, hard work to own several small businesses and real estate. It was all taken away from him, even though he had exploited no one and helped quite a few. Those who looked on approvingly, let alone shared in the spoils, have my undying contempt. I don't care if they later realized the "robberlution" was not as adverstised. They still reek for acting like scum.

If I remember correctly, wasn'the Robin Hood story about how the government taxed the people to death.

I can't remember the fellow's name, but one of the wealthier farm owners down in Venezuela, when confronted with a gang of about a dozen youths armed with various implements - who had arrived to steal several patches of his land - responded quite effectively . . . he shot two of them with a high-caliber hunting rifle.

Magnifico!
