Summary of the Equalist Philosophy

Our country became great by following the principles given to us by the genius of our founding fathers, guaranteeing ' . . . the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness." Thus we strongly value the rights and liberties of each individual citizen:

Equalist Test

Basic Beliefs

*

We stand for the Golden Rule, the written words of the Declaration of Independence, and the U.S. Constitution.

We value and celebrate the intrinsic worth of every fair-minded citizen.

*

We affirm the right of each citizen to be proud of their country, their heritage, their race, and their gender - and denounce those who profess otherwise.

*

We are all Americans first and foremost, thus we oppose division and stereotyping of our citizens.

*

Every good citizen has worth, thus we condemn hate mongers and guilt mongering groups that attack and stereotype others, whether the bigots are "politically correct" Social Marxists or white hate groups.

*

Much of our greatness comes from our "traditional" values. We denounce school programs which indoctrinate "politically correct" Social Marxist values, guilt, stereotyping, and division while condemning parents' values and traditions.

We believe in fairly helping those in need, but never by hurting innocent others.

The scales of justice must be level for all.

It is IMPOSSIBLE...to raise one side of the scale without lowering the other side.

We realize that the rights of some groups can NOT be elevated without the rights of other groups not so favored being lowered.

Thus, there must be equal rights for all citizens!

Who Are "Equalists"

Equalists are good and fair-minded people who respect the Constitutional rights and liberties of INDIVIDUALS. We are NOT a political, religious or other formal organization. Unlike extremists, we represent the majority of Americans. Both Ronald Reagan and Dr. Martin Luther King promoted Equalist philosophy, as did the Union soldiers who fought and died so everyone could be free.

Equalists are patriotic middle Americans who want to reaffirm individual freedom, rights, and pride in ourselves, our traditions, and our country. We believe in peaceful order through the rule of law based on the Constitution plus amendments as written and the Declaration of Independence. Laws must be strengthened to control only the criminals among us (with full due process), but must protect not limit or harm law-abiding citizens. There are laws which should be changed - but by votes through political process; they should not be ignored or broken. Thus we strongly OPPOSE civil disobedience, "citizen justice," violent confrontations, riots, and terrorism. We also strongly oppose "politically correct" stereotyping, social engineering, self-righteous Social Marxist revisionist history, guimongering, hate-mongering, and race or gender preference.

Equalists by definition, DO NOT favor one race or gender over another. Thus we cannot be racists, sexists, supremacists, apologists, or elitist social engineers. We MUST oppose any group which holds innocent people down or demands undeserved privilege.

Equalists believe that we are NOT a racist, violent society. Rather we are a good, noble society made up of individuals, not stereotypes, with only a small proportion of evil people. (This extends across all races and both genders.) The difference is liberating! Instead of accepting false accusations of guilt-mongers who claim "we are all guilty (of whatever)," we can be proud of ourselves as good, fair-minded citizens who give and deserve full equality, justice, and freedom to work toward achieving our dreams regardless of our race or gender - - judging people by what they DO, not how they were BORN. Instead of being fearful for the future, and blaming ourselves, we can optimistically forge a new tomorrow as one people, knowing that all we have to do to build a better country is to control the evil individuals among us. The rest will be the natural outcome of all free men and women working together.

How Do We Define Equality?

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal..."

*	under the law, protecting all (law-abiding) citizens
*	based on the U.S. constitution and the Declaration of Independence
*	without regard for the package they were born into
*	with equal responsibilities to respect fellow citizens and our laws
*	with equal opportunity to try to do their best free of government suppression
*	with equal opportunity, but not guaranteed equal results ("Equality of results" destroys equality under law and equality of opportunity)
*	thus we strongly support affirmative equality for all instead of affirmative action which favors only "politically correct" groups and discriminates against the rest
*	thus the bottom line: Either everyone is equal, or NO ONE IS

There are four core beliefs concerning equality:

*EQUALIST*	people are individuals with equal rights. Only their actions can change this - not race or gender
*PREJUDICED*	exhibit race/gender preferences, but not fully racist
*RACIST/SEXIST*	intentionally holds down/harms/blames/despises certain people solely because of their race or gender
*APATHETIC*	don't know or care.

If middle Americans don't openly discuss and address the growing problems of race, gender, stereotyping, and unfair legal privileges, our country will be torn apart.

Commentary

By it's definition, those who internalize and practice the Equalist philosophy CAN NOT stereotype, CAN NOT be racist, sexist, or bigoted. WE MUST treasure and respect the rights and liberties of each individual citizen, judging them by their skills, actions, and their respect for others.

Although we have newly formalized the term Equalist, this noble philosophy can be found in the Golden rule, in most Christian and other religions, in the Declaration of Independence, in the U.S. Constitution, and in proud American traditions. We DON'T want power to control or condemn others - we want to restore power and pride to individuals.

Many fear that our country is coming apart under hate driven by politically correct stereotyping. But Equalists and the Equalist philosophy - and only the Equalist philosophy - will bring us back together to build an even greater future "with liberty and justice for all."

Take The Equalist Test

Answer the following honestly

Equalist? - Apathetic?- Prejudiced? - Racist?

*

Will you grant to citizens of all races and genders the same legal rights you demand for yourself and your favored* race/gender?

*

Are you willing to put yourself and your favored* race/gender under the same obligations and restrictions you want placed on others?

*

Would you try** to treat others the same and react the same to what they say or do, if their race or gender were reversed?

*

Do you try to** judge people as individuals, based on what they do rather than how they were born, and do you refuse to stereotype?

Evaluate your answers:

*	If you can truly answer "yes" to all four questions, you are an Equalist. Be proud! The majority of Americans are, or at least try to be (otherwise the majority of Americans would never have fought the Civil War or passed civil rights laws.)
*	If you answer "yes" to only two or three - your thinking is prejudiced. Please try to judge individuals, not stereotypes.
*	If you answer "yes" to only one question, or none - your philosophy is racist/sexist. No matter how good or noble you think yourself or your goals to be, you are thinking and behaving like those you condemn.
*	If you are still disinterested - you are apathetic. But prejudice and discrimination (including affirmative action) is tearing our country apart. Your future and the futures of your children is at stake.

	* We use "favored race/gender" instead of "your race/gender" because some white citizens who preach white guilt have tried so hard not to be racist that they disfavor their own race. But they don't realize that they are now racist and prejudiced against their own children!
	**"try to" recognizes that all groups' natural emotions of envy and resentment have been strengthened by growing divisive attitudes and government policies.
