To most readers of this column, the question is absurd. The reason is not because the question is, in fact, absurd; it is because most readers of this column are conservative, and many are religious.
Am I implying that most leftists do not believe stealing is wrong?
Yes, I am.
As incredible as this assertion is to just about all religious people and virtually all conservatives, most leftists do not believe stealing is wrong. Since I always draw a distinction between those on the left and liberals, let me add that I suspect most liberals think stealing is wrong. But it almost doesn't matter because they vote for people who do not think it is.
One proof is the passage of Proposition 47, a California ballot initiative passed in 2014, under which theft of less than $950 in goods is treated as a nonviolent misdemeanor and rarely prosecuted. As a result, in Democrat-run California cities such as San Francisco and Los Angeles, retail theft has soared.
Walgreens stores in San Francisco are racking up four times the average amount of theft in Walgreens stores across the country; spending on security guards in San Francisco is 35 times more than the chain's average in other cities. Walgreens has been forced to close 22 stores in the city since 2016.

Unless they are the ones stolen from
I’m glad Ted Cruz is in the senate. Can’t say the same about John Cornyn.
Once you’ve accepted that, anything goes.
Exactly.
If you or I took something of theirs, watch how fast and loud they’d scream and have us arrested.
Prayer also makes the point all the time that to a leftist truth is not a value. Lying is fine if it is for their causes.
Should be Prager not prayer. Auto correct again.
How do you think they managed to gain control of the House, Senate and the Poopy House?
Complicit media, apathy, Dominion voting machines, education system... that’s how.
They’re like #2 Avis - they try (steal) harder...
When you go and start the practice of making a law, then along the way...you start finding various ways of zero-enforcement, then the law doesn’t really exist.
You repeat this over and over....a thousand laws...a thousand ways of non-enforcement. Eventually, you end up with a society who feels the same way, they won’t obey the set laws. What kind of society or government do you have then?
It’s Whitey’s fault for making them want it so bad.
You are correct. Libs can justify any action they take which they see benefiting them, but turn around and have the same action occurring to them, stuck pig sound!
His parents are arguing about the maid. The mother had fired the maid because she was stealing.
The father yells, "She has a right to steal! She's Puerto Rican.
Allen was satirizing his liberal Jewish upbringing. I remember seeing the film in NYC in the 1970s. I assume there were many Jews in the audience. Many laughed at that line, probably because they all knew someone like the father.

Did he include corruption by the drug cartels?
“Thou shalt steal,” is one of the left’s commandments. Can you guess the other nine?
Case in point: here in Boise most bike theft occurs in the parts of town where all the libs are located.
