"The Case for the Empire"

Basically, who knew the GOP was pro-Vader.

"Make no mistake, as emperor, Palpatine is a dictator--but a relatively benign one, like Pinochet. It's a dictatorship people can do business with. They collect taxes and patrol the skies. They try to stop organized crime (in the form of the smuggling rings run by the Hutts). The Empire has virtually no effect on the daily life of the average, law-abiding citizen. "

Pinochet was benevolent???

Midnight Death Caravans and murdering 2-3K of your own citizens is benevolent???

2. Ok, these assholes...
...can delve into the details and twist everything into distortions--all they want.

Everyone--even the sociopathic sect--understands the basic good vs. evil meme in "Star Wars".

Sure, sociopaths identify or admire Vader and Palpatine more. However, they at least acknowledge
the reality--that Palpatine, Vader and The Empire are inherently evil and bad--and that Luke, Leia and
the rest the Republic stands for peace, decency and harmony.

Good vs. Evil.

The person who wrote this article is attempting to justify evil.

I'm so tired of these Fascist clownballs who think they can sell us "up is down".

Epic fail.

3. On Fox, Bill Kristol said point blank he was always on Darth Vader's side.
