Jesus fucking christ, I'm an anarchist who clearly stated that I don't give a shit about property rights.
If you are going to see this situation as simply a case of some liberal versus conservative position, then the right wing is going to hand you your head on a plate. It *is* possible to have a position that is against eminent domain and unchecked state power, while at the same time being against the entire idea of private property rights.
