--Your Marxist "for the greater good" BS is just that - more Marxist drivel. I don't know how you can consider yourself a conservative or a member of a "free" republic and think the government takes supremacy over something as fundamental as private property ownership rights.--

Conservatives believe in establishing governments in order to provide for a better community and to protect property rights using laws established by their elected representatives. Anarchists believe is shooting those that try to enforce the laws.

Enforce what law? Show me a law that says a municipality can give you notice of a taking and show up two hours later to take. The city had a lesser or different easement than what they showed up to take and do with it.

That's tyranny, not law and order.

"The moment that idea is admitted into society that property is not as sacred as the Laws of God and that there is not a force of law and public justice to protect it, anarchy and tyranny commence." -- John Adams

The truth of the matter is that we are becoming a nation of Marxists, where private property is abused at the request of and to benefit the masses, and industry is perceived as evil oppressors of the proletariat.

How many rights have we lost in the name of "the good of society"?

Back in the sixties a struggle ensued to eliminate racial discrimination; it became illegal to exclude people based on their race, then on their religion, then on their age, then on their sex.

All noble causes indeed.

Where are we right now as we grow in the continuation of that noble cause?

The Boy Scouts of America cannot exclude homosexuals from becoming Scout Troop leaders.

The road to tyranny is paved with noble causes.

"Property must be secured or liberty cannot exist." -- John Adams
