LOL. They could only DISAGREE with what Locke said. It is pretty plain and simple, his point: every man that hath any possession or enjoyment of any part of the dominions of any government doth hereby give his tacit consent, and is as far forth obliged to obedience to the laws of that government, during such enjoyment, as any one under it, whether this his possession be of land to him and his heirs for ever, or a lodging only for a week; or whether it be barely travelling freely on the highway; and, in effect, it reaches as far as the very being of any one within the territories of that government.

You're slipping into dementia.

Most rational conservatives here at FR agree with Lockes basic principles, -- when they are protected by a constitution based on upholding individual rights.

You interpret his principles as favoring a communitarian state. -- Dream on.
