The phrase “Equal protection under the law” is what really sums it up – for both man’s law and God’s law. Jesus died for all, and that is truly the great equalizer.

The egalitarian insists that because all human beings “are equal” (the basic fallacy of egalitarianism), if results/success/ability, etc. are not equal, then the fault lies in some external “force” such as an “unfair” legal system which must be “fixed” until results are equal. All of society suffers for their cruel stupidity.

let’s mark a difference between “equal” and “identical”. The lie of egalitarianism is not that people are equal – because they are, and we understand that males and females, blacks and whites, kings and peasents are all human beings created by God – but that they are, and ought to be, identical in their tendencies, actions, clothes, responsibilites, etc.

Any truthful person knows that men and women are ‘equal’, and should therefore respect and love each. But only an egalitarain thinks that both ought to have the exact same roles and responsibilites.

Equal but different. 16/2 is equal to 8, but nobody after a bit of thought would really say that they are the same. Both are used for different reasons and in different contexts, and one must be converted into the other before it can be used in some context.

That isn’t a perfect analogy, but it is useful.

@ Dan
How exactly do you know how much money this man makes? You fail at understanding what egalitarianism

@ Author
While the last part about God irked me. Egalitarianism leads to the lowest common denominator. It is for the pathetic, the weak, and the lazy.

@ Jan
Yet what is funny is that if all racial groups and cultures are equal it would assume that “blacks (or really called Africans) wouldn’t allow themselves to be oppressed in the first place.

@ Author
Trying to attempt to tie Darwinian to Marxism? This is laughable because Darwinism is anything but.

Nick,
Thanks for the comment and the clarification. The topic of monarchy as a form of government (though that is not the topic of this post) is a fascinating one to me and I really appreciate your adding to the discussion. I hope you’ll stop by and comment often.

I agree with the thrust of your article, but a minor point:
The divine right of kings was sorted out in England by a certain Oliver Cromwell, more than 100 years before the Declaration of Independence, reinforced by the “Glorious Revolution” in 1688 and the Bill of Rights in 1689. The American Revolutionary War was against the imposition of rule from London (including taxation) without American parliamentary representation in that city. The King was the titular head of that government, not an absolute monarch. Most Englishmen were sympathetic to your cause, if not necessarily your means.

You’re right about Socialism/Marxism. Life at the lowest common denominator. Dumbing down, anyone?

Excellent point, sir. Thank you for pointing that out.

Once again, we see that egalitarianism and communism are just different words for the same thing.

Sirs,
Always remember, with the White African farmers of Rhodesia, the Pieds Noirs, European settlers and their descendants, from what today is Algeria, abandoned by de Gaulle, because he found it politically expedient, to do the bidding of the egalitarian Socialists and Communists. The atrocities committed against the Pieds Noirs, by the Algerian nationalist “freedom fighters” are unspeakable. The Pieds Noirs, as well as the Rhodesians, had as much of a right to prosper in Africa, as we do, to live in North America. Though forgotten by the egalitarian-dominated academia of today, we shall always remember them in our hearts.

Dear Sirs,
Two points please. In the fifth line of the previous comment of yours truly, please read “categories” instead of “illegitimate categories” (though the categories are illegitimate). Secondly, yours truly, has shown Egalitarianism-Destroyer of Nations, to select friends and colleagues, which have included Christians, both Catholic and Protestant, and even atheists. All agreed, generally to completely, with the essay. New Jersey is self-censoring and intellectually stifling. One must be quite tactful in disagreeing with the highly egalitarian views and policies, now in vogue and dominant in this state, today one of the least free (as analyzed through your post, Freedom in the 50 States).
Deo Vindice.

Sirs,
The most important reason we should oppose egalitarianism, is that it negates the uniqueness of each citizen. This emphasis on the individual, sets us apart from other nations. Egalitarianism forces individuals into categories, despite many significant exceptions within each psuedo-category. The most extreme example of forced egalitarianism, is the belief that it is justified, “that hundreds shall die, so millions may live,” as has been demonstrated all too often by Communism. This concept is irreconcilable with our principle, that the life of every individual citizen is precious, for his contributions, present or potential, and there will never be anyone like him again ever. Oppose egalitarianism, and all its manifestations, always.
