Are you considering ex-slaves after the war to still be 'property', Akston? - Bizarro.
They never even considered compensated emancipation. That wasn't a concept that fit in their religion.
Fighting for human freedom is a 'religion' to you? Again, strange terminology, imo.
Life, Liberty, and Property, are all equally sacred, in a just society. "Fundamentalists" can usually be found genuflecting towards one, to the neglect of the others.
Really? Where did you get this weird insight? Got some examples, - and/or facts?
I wouldn't label their excesses "fundamentalism", though. I would call it "radicalism". Where there's trouble, you'll find a radical lurking - radical abolitionism, radical feminism, radical egalitarianism, radical environmentalism, radical anti-nuclearism, radical liberalism. The problem with these things is that they aren't fundamental.
Sure hugh, whatever sounds right to you, you just chatter on. - If it keeps ya happy.
Life, Liberty and Property, are fundamental. Any more narrow focus is radical, and an obstruction to justice.
Such profound nonsense, akston. - Are you using a babblefish type word generator?
Really? Where did you get this weird insight? Got some examples, - and/or facts?
Sure, dipwad. It's amazing how you get curious about my thoughts. That wouldn't happen if you honestly thought they were babble. Start being honest with yourself about me. Since you're incapable of thinking (creatively) for yourself:
Abortion clinic bombers violate property (and sometimes life) in the name of life.
Radical abolitionists violated property in the name of liberty.
Radical abortionists violate life in the name of liberty.
Radical Islamics violate life and property, in the name of (their) religious liberty.
Radical environmentalists violate property, in the name of animal life.
Radical capitalists (can't think of any nowadays) would violate liberty in the name of property.
Read James Madison's "Note to speech on the rights of suffrage", if you think you can understand it. It is a painstakingly thorough inquiry into what type of governmental structure will insure that that personal rights (liberty) and property rights are kept in balance. Radicals (what the author of this piece you posted calls "fundamentalists") can usually be found worshipping life, liberty OR property, to the neglect of the other two. The only legitimate fundamentals (if you're talking about politics) are life, liberty, AND property. They must all be balanced.
The Squalid 14th Amendment, esp. the clause about no compensation for slave property, threw these out of balance. Property has been at a disadvantage in this country, ever since.
