"In America natural law comes to sight in the principle of equality, which continues to confuse both conservatives and liberals. With the Democrats’ embrace of “equity,” they have cast aside equality as a principle. Conservatives have never been comfortable with equality to begin with, as Harry Jaffa consistently pointed out in his work. Equality does not mean socialism but rather government by consent, and all the institutions that follow from the preservation of this fundamental element of justice. The clearest expositor of this principle, as Thomas explains, has been Abraham Lincoln, when he attacked the evil of slavery."

As a conservative, I am perfectly comfortable with the correct meaning of equality as equality in law and justice. "All men are created equal" refers to the law, not to some evanescent Darwinian standard. All men are different but they stand equal before the law, with rights that ensure their humanity.
