I don’t know if we’re infested with sociopaths, or people whose parents never taught them basic civilized behavior, or both. Being an optimist, I’ll assume you liberals were just cheated out of the basics at home and in kidergarten, so we’ll cover them now.

Bob works for a living and what Bob owns is his. That includes his paychecks. Now John may not own as much as Bob, but that’s irrelevant. Bob’s stuff is Bob’s stuff. If John takes it, he is a thief, period, that’s it.

John may be as black as the ace of spades and Bob may be so white he’s pink, but that’s irrelevant. What Bob owns, Bob owns. If John takes it, he is a thief, period, that’s it.

John can go on all he wants about being “oppressed” or “marginalized” or “disenfranchised,” and he can go on all he wants about “racism,” but if John takes what Bob owns, John is a thief, period, that’s it.

Of course, John can vote for a thief, who will then go to Congress, and with the other thieves, vote to take part of Bob’s property and give it to John. But theft is theft, and that is what it is, period, that’s it.

It doesn’t make a damn bit of difference why Bob has more things than John, or how many more things Bob has. Not. One. Goddamn. Bit. Of. Difference. If John takes Bob’s property, either himself or through taxes, John is a thief, period, that’s it.

Unfortunately, children are now being taught in school that Bob’s property belongs to everybody but Bob. Children come in on the first day, put the books and notebooks and pencils and pens in a big box so the teacher can pass everything out and everybody will have the same things.

That’s theft, period, that’s it. Theft.

After the Kelo decision, liberals objected, but for entirely the wrong reasons. Liberals howled because the city stole private property to give to a developer. Who is getting the property is irrelevant. Theft is theft, no matter if the city gives the property to a business or turns it into some bullshit walking trail or wildlife preserve.

I’ll wrap up with this updated fable.
