But John, I didn’t imply that Genghis and Attila were right-thinking dudes. What I said is that the left thinks of us as scarcely different from those, well, redistributionists. Which goes to prove that they don’t know much about either history or the free market philosophy.

That gets me to thinking that maybe CBS should do a mini-series on Attila, giving us a more “nuanced” view of him as a “reformer” who wanted to throw off the hegemony of the Roman Empire and redistribute wealth to the have-nots of the world.
