When is a desire for equality the very opposite of the definition of equality?
When Liberals define it.
1. The Founders of this once-great nation believed that everyone should be equal before the law. That's right: they believed in equality, and, in fact, most were members of Manumission societies, the anti-slavery organizations.
a. But since the 32rd President, that belief has been changed to material equality. A subtle, but monumental change. Somehow, Americans were taught that the aim of a just society was not giving everyone equal opportunity, but equality of result...measured in ducats, dollars.
That is an astounding alteration in the objectives or our nation, and may explain Roosevelt's infatuation with the regime of Joseph Stalin, and with communism.
2. When Republicans broke the death grip that Democrats had on the South, and ended slavery, they didn't stop with the Civil War....they passed amendments that made certain that everyone had an equal chance for success, based on their efforts and ability.
3. The 14th amendment is pointed to as the vehicle of equality.
a. "Key Clauses of the 14th Amendment
Four principles were asserted in the text of the 14th amendment. They were:
1. State and federal citizenship for all persons regardless of race both born or naturalized in the United States was reaffirmed.
2. No state would be allowed to abridge the "privileges and immunities" of citizens.
3. No person was allowed to be deprived of life, liberty,or property without "due process of law."
4. No person could be denied "equal protection of the laws."
Over time, numerous lawsuits have arisen that have referenced the 14th amendment. The fact that the amendment uses the word state in the Privileges and Immunities clause along with interpretation of the Due Process Clause has meant that state as well as federal power is subject to the Bill of Rights."
14th Amendment Summary - What is the fourteenth amendment
Of course it depends on which judges do the interpreting.....
4. Using satire, George Orwell wrote the ultimate exposé of totalitarian governance, hiding truth in the same way that Aesop did, as told by animals. In "Animal Farm," we find the motto of Liberals/Progressives/Democrats....
“All animals are equal, but some animals are moreequal than others.”
According to Liberals/Progressives/Democrats certain 'authorized' groups form classes with special rights and privileges based on identifying features such as skin color and/or the language that they speak.
Such is the brave new world sculpted by Liberals.
