Natural rights being conceived of as eternal and immutable, the theory of natural rights did not permit of their amendment in view of a change in conditions.. . . such as the ascent to positions of power of tyrants who lust for more power. That would represent a change from all prior experience.</sarcasm>
Thanks for all the BEEPs!
I have long since determined that DemoRATS have, since the beginning of John C. Calhoun's time (1811), been the Party of socialism (progressivism). Calhoun joined with DemoRAT political activist George Fitzhugh for their fight for the DemoRAT slaver cause. The two were honest about what socialism is (unlike today's progressives/socialists) as both agreed with what Fitzhugh stated, that "slavery, is a form, and the very best form, of socialism!"
