It should be called "Taking money back from the government and giving it to those whe earned it." | AT SOME POINT IN TIME SOMEONE CHANGED THE NARRATIVE OF THE ROBIN HOOD STORY.  WHEN DID IT BECOME "ROBBING FROM THE RICH TO GIVE TO THE POOR"?  THE STORY IS ABOUT RETRIEVING MONEY THAT WAS EARNED BY THE PEOPLE AND STOLEN BY THE GOVERNMENT. THE SHERIFF OF NOTTINGHAM WASN'T SOME FAT CAT CEO OF A MULTINATIONAL CORPORATION.  HE WAS THE GOVERNMENT, INCREASING TAXES ON THE PEOPLE (CAUSING THEM TO BE POOR) TO FUND AN UNNECESSARY WAR.  THE STORY OF ROBIN HOOD ISN'T ABOUT A SOCIALIST HERO, IT IS ABOUT A CAPITALIST HERO.  IT WAS ABOUT GOVERNMENT GREED. | image tagged in robin hood,capitalism,private ownership,government greed,taxation is theft | made w/ Imgflip meme maker

And very recently, another story change was made, when we figured out that Robin Hood actually doesn't exist, and never did

I just knew I was going to get someone telling me that Robin Hood is fictional, even though I specifically said, "The story of Robin Hood".

The point I was trying to make was NOT about the existence of Robert Loxley but rather constantly being told that it is about "robbing from the rich to give to the poor" when clearly the story is about getting the money the poor earned back from the government who stole it. Taxation is theft.

Well, you could also say Robin Hood was a socialist hero because during the cold war, it was banned because it was too communist. yeah.

Socialism is Communism. There is not enough difference between the two ideologies. The same with Nazis, and Fascism. All four ideologies are just very minor variations of statism or collectivism.

Robin Hood was never banned in the United States. No books have ever been banned that I know of. I have heard there are some books that will put on one an FBI watch list but you can still read them. We don't ban books in this country. However that will probably start happening any day now ever since Biden cheated his way into the White House and is ruling the country by executive order.

I know Ann Coulter has spoken and written a book justifying McCarthy. I think that the Senate at this time was right. There were and still is a lot of Communists in our government. Where they were out of line was when the ended the careers of private citizens. Even if those citizens were pro-Communists they shouldn't have lost their jobs over it.

The government should never be the cause of any job loss in the private sector but too late for that Biden is signing execute order after executive order killing all sorts of jobs.

"all sorts of jobs" was a poor choice of words. However, if such actor was currently working on a movie and that movie got canned because that actor was now blacklisted then there were more jobs than just that of actors. I just don't know if that happened or not because I never looked into the McCarthy hearings. It just never interested me enough. But I sure hear Hollywood complaining like it was the worst atrocity ever committed.

Really? When was there ever an investigation? All cases were dismissed from court on standing. Meaning the judge just didn't want to be bothered with them, or had his/her family threatened, or received a huge sum of cash. Either way there was never any investigations done by any court.

There have been private investigations and they have found conclusive proof that there was voter fraud. Like in Pennsylvania there were 200,000 more ballots counted than registered voters. Arizona there were 450,000 more ballots than registered voters. And can you take a guess who those extra ballots voted for? And that is just the tip of the iceberg. There is tons more hard proof of voter fraud that is just being ignored.

And now you are told it has been debunked????? By who????? The Democrat Party???? The News media????

Don't lump me in with the anti-vaxxers. I have no idea what causes autism but I don't think it is vaccines. Vaccines save lives...end of story. I'm also not a flat earther, I don't think don't think the Moon landing was fake, I don't believe that 9/11 was an inside job and I am pretty sure that Oswald killed JFK, just in case you want to lump me in with those people also.

I hate to break it to you, but committing voter fraud has a very hefty sentence. A lot of people simply aren't dumb enough to risk 5 years of freedom along with a fairly large sum of money just to add one ballot to the mix. Oh, and if you want some evidence that there is no fraud, I got plenty.

The first one wasn't evidence either. All it said is that there was no evidence. It never said, "After an extensive investigation there was not voter fraud and here is why we say that..."

I want to see something that proves that there wasn't voter fraud at the same level that this shows that there was voter fraud.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?t=4268&v=uSfbEiV-Uxg&feature=youtu.be

And this is just Georgia. Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania all have shown similar results.

All I have ever seen from the left is, We say authoritatively, after no investigations at all (we haven't even lifted a finger), that there was no voter fraud. And they always point to Trump as if to say that none of us would have ever thought that there was voter fraud without Trump.

I knew (and said several times, starting in 2016) that Trump would not win reelection because of massive voter fraud. I didn't need Trump to say anything. Democrats have been committing voter fraud for decades. In 2016 they thought they had enough fake votes to put Hillary in office but they didn't account for the electoral college. So when 2020 came around they were going full steam ahead. And they got very very very sloppy. It was just so blindingly obvious that they cheated. Just the general fact that an extremely popular Republicans was running against a senile old man should be enough to let you know there was fraud. In a normal election Trump would have won in a massive landslide. Biden just doesn't have what it takes but your party used voter fraud to keep Bernie out.

Yes, voter fraud is a very serious crime but Democrats very rarely ever go to prison for their crimes. They are above the law. All of the crap Obama did and nothing happened to him.

Of course there is a much larger issue this time and it is not about Democrat vs Republican. Biden is part of the global "Build Back Better" movement. The World Economic Forum wants to reset the global economy, eliminate Capitalism and create a global Socialist government. Sounds like a conspiracy theory but all you need to do is go to the WEF website and see for yourself. That is why all 81 courts rejected the fraud cases on standing. No investigation, no discovery, nothing.

If Trump stayed in office they would have to wait another 4 years and they weren't ready for that. This has to happen before 2030. That is when the UN takes over based on their Agenda 2030. Again, you can find that on the UN's website.

One wonders what you consider as logic. No, I could stand it because it was just mindless liberal propaganda. I do not need my intelligence insulted just because I do not march in lockstep with the liberal mindset. I do not find any value in what the left proposes, in fact I see the exact opposite. You do not promote individual liberty. All you promote is more authoritarian government. Despite all your (not you specifically but your side of the political equation) nonsensical insults the fact remains you hate freedom of choice.

I am looking for some conclusive evidence from you and all you are giving me is idiotic opinion pieces.

All of those articles proved nothing. It was full of typical liberal hate speech and distortions. The kind of stuff that says if you opposed to the liberal mindset then you are opposed to everything good in life. That's BS.

I am not asking for articles about how some dude says there was no voter fraud. I am asking for AN ACTUAL INVESTIGATION. All you have ever given me is liberal propaganda. You're evidence is that dude says there was no voter fraud therefore there was no voter fraud.

The reason why there will never be any investigation showing there was no voter fraud is BECAUSE THERE WAS VOTER FRAUD and if anyone on the left looked into it they would clearly see that there was.

Here is some other points you might find interesting. There are a lot of people who say the earth is flat. Guess what. People have done some investigations and found out the earth is NOT flat.

Every Democrat and even some Republicans are going to always toe the party line that there was no voter fraud. But flapping you gums ain't an investigation.

On the contrary what I showed you was an actual investigation with actual facts. I didn't just send you an article that says "listen to me, here is some dude who says there was voter fraud. He doesn't have any proof but he sure sounds sincere".

Seriously, all you gave me is people saying there was no voter fraud. That isn't proof of anything. I don't care who those people are or how important they are, they are not telling you this from a position of knowledge. All they are doing is just parroting the lie. Not one of them has even lifted a finger to find out for themselves if what they are saying is true.

I want them to say that we had a team of people who have counted and recounted every ballot. And there weren't more ballots than registered voters. We have also had a team of software engineers looking at the original source code used in the Dominion voting machines. And I want them to explain how in the real world could Donald Trump's vote count go into negative numbers. It happened in Michigan, Wisconsin and Georgia that I know of. It probably happened in other states as well. Never before in the history of mankind has anyone ever gotten a negative vote count. The reason is that it is impossible. You cannot even has a decrease in votes. Votes are additive. They either go up or stay the same. They never go down and it is impossible for them to go to a negative number.

I do not care how many people you throw at me saying "it didn't happen" you are not giving me the results of research. I have shown you that it happened in Georgia and that should be enough. I know it has happened in other states.

Is it fear that keeps you from accepting the facts? You probably don't like Trump and I am not that fond of him either. But you cannot avoid the facts. I have never ever heard anything from those saying that "it didn't happen" about how they know it didn't happen.

When I have seen and read the results from actual investigations, not just a bunch of people parroting the same line over and over, then I am saying this from a position of knowledge. And despite all of your liberal articles saying that we are all taking our cue from Trump, it does not change the facts. The only unknown at this point is did you guys commit enough voter fraud to change the outcome of the election. I personally think you did, by a long shot. Knowing how popular Trump was with the Republicans I would think that Trump won this by a huge landslide.

In the real world an extremely popular president never gets defeated by a senile old man. That defies logic.

I'm saying that the little evidence you have is not enough to convince Trump-appointed judges, right wing newspapers, and Republican investigations. Oh, and also, both Trump and Biden are senile old men, not to mention the fact that Trump is not extremely popular. The only election fraud that happened was gerrymandering (which should, by the way, be illegal and was committed by both sides)

I watched the first part of that video and I just couldn't take it. So before I smashed my laptop I shut it down.

I also watched the video showing me absolutely nothing conclusive except that Stephen Colbert is pissed and he is going to come after us with a broken bottle of whatever.

The claim that rich people who made their money from Capitalism would support a system that opposes Capitalism is absurd. The rich idiots who made their money by using politicians to fleece taxpayers are not Capitalists. They are Corporatists. They might have initially gotten rich through Capitalism but when they got a little money they jumped on the government bandwagon and got much richer than they did through Capitalism. Of course they will support Socialism, because they're idiots. They think that this working relationship between them and government will never change.

The video I linked to was hard investigation. It went into detail about how the fraud was committed. You should watch it.

Other reports I have seen said there were 200,000 (not 53) MORE ballots than registered voters in Pennsylvania and 450,000 more ballots than registered voters in Arizona that is a serious problem.

The Pennsylvania courts (not the state legislature which is the only branch who can change election law according the the US Constitution) changed election law a month or so before the election. They made it so that if a ballot comes in after the polls or closed without a signature or a postmark it can still be counted. They legalized voter fraud.

A bunch of people saying that a bunch of other people said that there was no voter fraud is NOT evidence. Then saying that there were maybe 53 fraudulent votes without showing me how the came to that number is not an investigation, it is speculation.

And still, I am not saying there was voter fraud because Trump or McInerny told me there was. I watched what happened. When people complain (like they have ever since we started using those Dominion voting machines in the 2012 election) that they watched their votes get switched on the machine from whatever to Democrat I take that seriously.

And what does this do for our election process? Why should I ever vote again if I know that my vote is just going to get cancelled out?

Someone is going to have to produce some real evidence that can actually show based on their analysis which can be seen at such-and-such website that there was no voter fraud. Prove it.

Yeah, and don't worry. The Sun is a right wing newspaper, and the Independent has a remarkable track record of staying in the centre. So unless they are 'traitors of the faith' like Fox News (which also has a history of being very right wing).

I only posted the one video because I was too lazy to post everything I have read.

You're still not getting it. No one on the left has ever looked into it. All they have done is just said "there was no voter fraud".

And the Republicans you mentioned are doing the same thing. Establishment Republicans hated Trump just as much as Democrats did.

Those words are hollow and not backed by anything. It doesn't matter how many people keep saying they have no proof. They are just vapid words.

The left has made a point at calling the right "science deniers" over climate change. But when it comes to voter fraud that is all you are. You are just deniers. At least those of us that see climate change as fake science have research behind it. All you have is just your denials.
[deleted]
0 ups, 4y
Well, again, some of those judges were Trump appointed, yet they still dismissed his claims. If that can't convince you, nothing can. Oh, and, by the way, the little research climate deniers have done has huge gaping holes in it. The idea that more CO2 will increase plant growth fails to account for the lack of water and nutrients. The idea that there is no CO2 being pumped into the atmosphere has been disproven many times. Believe me, if they were Trump appointed judges, and they still didn't go along with him, then either someone is willing to pay millions to keep Biden in office to increase their taxes, or they just had a brain.

And, by the way, you saying that establishment Republicans hating Trump as much as Democrats goes against your very own words of Trump being hugely popular. Choose one or the other. You can't have both. Not to mention the fact that there surely must be a reason if even fellow right wingers are opposing Trump.

Did those "Trump appointed" judges allow those cases to introduce evidence of voter fraud? NO!!!! The cases were dismissed on standing, meaning there was not trial. No investigation, no nothing. IT PROVES NOTHING.

I was just using your claim of climate denial as an example. So if CO2 increases then where does water go? That was your claim. You said that there wouldn't be any water. Does it go out into outer space? Does it disappear? Does it just vanish? There are still 3 states of matter regardless how much CO2 there is. If the water evaporates that doesn't mean it disappears. It goes into the atmosphere and actually causes more, not less, rain.

Someone wasn't paying attention in biology in high school.

As far as the history of the earth goes we are currently in a CO2 deficit. We are far below what would be considered "normal" for the earth. Not to mention that there is no scientific evidence that CO2 causes the earth to warm. I know the government paid "scientists" want you to believe that but actual science shows ice core samples, tree rings and whatever else they use to look at the earth's history with, say that increased CO2 does not mean warmer climate. It still all comes down to that big orange glowing thing in the sky. The sun will and always has had the greatest influence over the earth's temperature.

And on top of all of that, the earth just isn't cooperating with the global warming "scientists". It just won't warm up for them. And now we are heading into a solar minimum. In the past solar minimums typically cause global cooling. Al Gore's "hockey stick" diagram conveniently left out the 2 Medieval Maximums (warming periods) and the Wolf, Sporer, Maunder and Dalton Minimums that occurred between 1280 and 1830. We ended a Solar Maximum in 2008 because since then the earth has been cooling very slightly.

But I really don't want to get into a global warming debate. Especially when I have to hunt for your comments that still have a reply link. I could go for hours on the false science of climate change. There is TONS of real science that shows that they myth of global warming is just a tool that is being used to advance global Socialism. It is the tool that will be used to tell us how far we are allowed to travel to work. Where we can live. How big of a house we can live in. How far and how often we can go on vacation. This is AOC's New Green Deal and the UN's Agenda 21 and 2030.

Tell me, very simply, out of context. Do Humans release large amounts of Methane and Carbon Dioxide?
Then answer me: What properties do CO2 and Methane have?

And, by the way, the water does not disappear. It goes into the atmosphere and becomes the big daddy of all greenhouse gasses True, many studies have found that water vapour is the biggest of all the greenhouse gasses). Then, when the water does come down, it, due to the higher temperatures, comes down in storms and hurricanes. And either way, plant growth still won't be hugely affected due to the third factor, namely the nutrients in the soil. Yeah, I think you forgot about that.
