rights plays into the hands of Democrat and Republican
party socialists who seek to control our lives. If we
buy into the notion that somehow property rights are less
important, or are in conflict with, human or civil rights, we give the
socialists a freer hand to attack our property.
As President John Adams (1797-1801) put it, "Property is surely a right of mankind as real as liberty." Adding, "The moment
the 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."

Good post. My problem with socialism is that the socialist feels the need to enforce "equality". But as the short story Harrison Bergeron shows, equality is less important than liberty.
Call them what you will they all want to steal our money.
"A liberal is someone who feels a great debt to his fellow man, which debt he proposes to pay off with your money."
