There's nothing inappropriate about salvaging good ideas.

The question is whether, in the context of his actual views and statements, whether he actually had the ideas attributed to him or whether the ideas he defended and advocated were not entirely different. It is like when a republican advocates a 'free market' and he means 'corporate subsidies'.

that's all true, but what I'm referring to is this. Locke's had some good ideas. I don't see why citing him is absolutely inappropriate. Ideas are cultivated upon previous ideas. Society isn't developed out of a vacuum, but evolves not only in theory but in application as far as society is willing to apply such theories. It doesn't matter if a republican advocates 'corporate subsidy' cause some people know what a free market actually is
