WHAT ARE ALL THOSE ISMs? PART II

Liberty - Equality = Privilege. Now if equality is more important to liberals than conservatives, are we to conclude that Thomas Jefferson's declaration of Independence is Liberal propaganda? For doesn't it say in the Declaration that we are created equal?

Liberals believe in equality of outcome. Conservatives believe that if one person sacrifices his time to go to school and on to high education and ends up with a high paying job, he deserves the money he earns. Liberals believe that those who do not bother to go to school deserve equal pay, i.e. equal outcome. We are all created with equal opportunities. Obviously, not everyone is equal nor is everyone expected to be equal. For example, a mentally handicapped person is not expected to be a surgeon. If the person who goes to school for many years and works part-time to earn money to earn his way is considered to be privileged, then what about people like Obama who never had to lift a finger to earn his way through school? Who is the privileged person? Once again, liberals believe in equality of outcome, not equality of opportunity.

This is outstanding! What a great treatment of the additional "isms" in one document. I am going to be coming back to study this some more.

Thanx so much for taking the time and effort to put this up. Hope a LOT MORE people stop by to take advantage of your essay!

I have to apologize for not responding earlier. This is the first I've seen your comment and it really excites me to see that you thought so much of my work. It took a lot of research and I've still got more isms I want to cover. Thanks so much for your comments. Gunny
