    It seems that the scandals just keep on coming. First, Americans are abandoned to die in a terrorist attack in Benghazi and the American people are lied to about the attack by the President and members of his cabinet. All of the facts are still unknown and the cover up continues. Then we learn tha...

    I spent this past weekend in Syracuse with family I haven’t seen in forty years, sat in the same church in the same pews I once sat next to my Grandparents in and visited their graves with my cousins and “Uncle Bill from the Hill”. Sunday was a perfectly sunny day, sandwiched in be...

    Vincent Ross Well, I am not sure if it is a compliment, precisely, since Robin Hood was, IMO, simply a thief. Whether he actually gave to the poor or not is irrelevant. But I do find it strange that liberals would think they are making some sort of insult by it, sin...  more

    Glen Davis Yeah, Vincent. But all the people he robbed could go to the other elites and brag about how they gave to the poor, right?

    Vincent Ross And I guess the thing which bugs me is that these days, we see a mentality among liberals that they imagine they are Robin Hood or something... take from the rich to give to the poor, and all that. In the fable you cite, any justifications given are too ...  more

    Vincent Ross Another thing which makes the whole thing rather distasteful to me is the angle of idealizing a criminal. I know this is unrelated to the Robin Hood thing really, but in a way it is an example of the same sort of idealization. So personally... just spea...  more
