I think many of you have seen my statements calling V for Vendetta a libertarian movie, despite what the critics and even the writer, Alan Moore, has claimed.

I, of course, love Iron Man and Iron Man 2. Whenever I’ve ever done one of those silly Internet quizzes about ‘which Marvel superhero are you the most like’, it never fails to come up as Tony Stark’s alter ego. His comment about "I’m getting tired of the liberal agenda," in the latest movie was priceless and completely unexpected.

Now comes Robin Hood, who is usually wrapped around socialist cliches about ‘fighting against the man’ and ‘robbing from the rich and giving to the poor’. But, once again, the liberals and socialists have missed the point on this iconic hero, and it is sounding like the new movie actually going to be telling it in a fashion where it is more obvious.

Robin Hood::

1) Is a foreign war veteran

2) Fights against the tyranny of government, and especially overtaxation

3) Discovers over time more and more people like him, forming into the Merry Men

Oh my god, he’s a tea partier! He’s a right wing extremist!

Yes, like V, Robin Hood fights against tyranny of government. Now, let us point out one more thing about the entire Robin Hood myth, and that is the famous statement "rob from the rich to give to the poor." Socialists like this statement, because for the uninformed masses, this is the goal of socialism. However, in the Middle Ages, who were the rich? Aristocrats. The Ruling Class. In other words, the Government.

There is precious little different between Middle Age feudalism and modern day Socialism in application. The government allocates the money as they see fit. Socialism is just supposed to be more ‘enlightened’ about it and the money distributed to help the people instead of holding big parties on Wednesday nights filled with wagu beef…

Oh, er…nevermind.

So, you see, Robin Hood is not only one of us, he could be seen as one of the original tea partiers. Already one critic is in a tizzy about it. I’m sure more will be coming. Again, Russell Crowe and Ridley Scott are no conservatives, but once again Hollywood has made a libertarian movie without even realizing it.

Yes, my title is provocative, but hear me out.

Harry Reid is going to use parliamentary tricks in order to get the Health Care bill passed despite opposition of more than 55% of the electorate. He’s going to attempt to tie the Health Care bill to the tax on TARP bonuses that was passed by Pelosi’s House.

In essence, the two of them are going to ram a grab of 17% of our GDP through, and include the public option on it. 

Not only is this against any sort of common decency to follow the bill the right way through the House and Senate, but they are just trying to provoke people who are going to take major offense to this being ramrodded down their throats. Those people are already fed up, at witnessed by the Tea Parties. Until now, those people have followed the law to the letter – ask yourself how many of the one million plus at Washington DC’s September 12th rally were arrested for civil disobedience?

None.

That’s going to start to change, the more Reid and Pelosi flaunt the system and push this country into a state Stalin would be proud of, let alone Mussolini (search this blog for my November 2008 article concerning that).

The violence that Pelosi faked tears over, and warned about is coming closer and closer to reality the more this kind of garbage she pushes. If it does come about, the blame is squarely on her shoulders for using the government to oppress the freedoms enjoyed by its people, and for destroying the protections we have in the United States Constitution to restrict the power of government.

I wish I wouldn’t have to predict this sort of thing. I thought we could all be responsible individuals and not let it come down to another Civil War. If the trend continues, however, I see it as inevitable.

Let’s get it straight…I’m not advocating it, but I am predicting it. 

God help us all.
