Oh good grief!..here we go again..the one trick ponies frothing about racism just exactly like I just pointed out in my previous post!

HEY Bobert! You can thank John Locke, the 'Father of Liberalism' for that!! Here is an excerpt of my response to Firth, who referred me to John Locke, as the 'Father of Liberalism'....

"..and John Locke had a few good ideas..but considering slaves as property wasn't one of them....even Karl Marx clocked him for being a hypocrite for that! (Maybe that's why you like him so much).

Funny, that Bobert probably didn't know that about your idol, being as Locke was also a huge investor in the 'Royal African Company' The MAJOR slave traders. He also was a participant in drafting the 'Fundamental Constitutions of Carolina' (Bobert country)which established a feudal aristocracy and gave a master absolute power over his slaves...AND was quoted in the Constitution(well almost)..his phrase 'life liberty and the pursuit of property', was changed to 'life liberty and the pursuit of happiness'....because in Locke's version 'property meant slaves!!"

Gosh, did you know that?? No wonder the South is so absorbed with liberalism and prejudice!

Food for thought.....don't get indigestion...after all it was Firth that has been carrying on about Locke and liberalism...
Personally I think Conservatism/Liberalism and/or party politics is just a mental disorder......sorta like schizophrenia....you can't distinguish reality from fantasy, and illusion!
