the essential difference between Democrats and Republicans

In the famous legend, Democrats consider Robin Hood the hero and the Sheriff of Nottingham the villain.

For Republicans, it is vice versa

I would think the left would love the Sheriff of Nottingham he taxed everyone to death.

Robin Hood robbed from the government and gave the tax money back to the people. At least according to legend.

That is correct; Robin Hood stole from the government--its agents--and gave the money back to the people.

The primitives don't know excresence about folklore.

Where the hell do these pukes get this stuff? I don't think there's a sane person in the world that doesn't know that.

Oh I know, "steal from the rich, to give to the poor". Never mind the fact the Sheriff taxed the poor into starvation, or that it was a dictatorship by a ruthless prick, kinda like their pal Hugo, but that doesn't count.

The reason you think like this is that you and your ilk have spent years busily trying to re-write history* to convince everyone that Robin Hood stole from the rich 1%'ers to give it back to the poor 99% so that it fits your own idea of how the world should work.

* - Yes I am aware that Robin hood is folklore.

From my observation, what is the essential difference between Democrats and Republicans?  Democrats value gov't over freedom and justice.  For Republicans, it is vice versa.

Exactly. He's got that backasswards. Robin Hood was rebelling against a monarchal dictatorship, and big government employee goons.

Lincoln summed up the difference quite nicely,

"We all declare for liberty; but in using the same word we do not all mean the same thing. With some the word liberty may mean for each man to do as he pleases with himself, and the product of his labor; while with others, the same word may mean for some men to do as they please with other men, and the product of other men's labor. Here are two, not only different, but incompatible things, called by the same name - liberty. And it follows that each of the things is, by the respective parties, called by two different and incompatible names - liberty and tyranny."

- The Collected Works of Abraham Lincoln edited by Roy P. Basler, Volume VII, "Address at Sanitary Fair, Baltimore, Maryland" (April 18, 1864), p. 301-302.

Is that right?  We have a thread on this in the Politics section.  Folks around here were sharpening up their pitchforks, so to speak.
