The glorification of the bandit goes a LOT farther back than Bonny and Clyde.

Think Robin Hood, Jesse James and Billy the Kid.

Today we've got people looking up to the the thugs of the rap industry and the narcotraficantes.

Robin Hood is slightly different. Liberals like to adapt the Robin Hood tale to modern day capitalist democracies in order to justify their tax & social program policies, i.e. their “fight against greedy robber barons”. However medieval England and 21st century U.S. are different.

Here everyone has the opportunity to rise up from their station through hard work and determination.

Back then you were locked into your class. Hard work amounted to little. Hmmmm, that sounds an awful lot like communism.
