Equality versus Freedom Rebuttal Rebuttal

To the Illustrious Mr. Pot:

I thoroughly enjoyed your skillful avoidance of anything vaguely resembling a rebuttal. Despite your back roads trip down an historical memory lane, replete with presidential minutiae, there seemed to be no substantive defense of the leftist practice of trying to force their idea of equality down the throats of defenseless Americans. While you skillfully pointed out that Jefferson was occasionally referred to by historical scribes as a Republican, I think in all fairness even you would agree that the term Republican has evolved since then and today bears little resemblance to what Mr. Jefferson espoused. You say he was a man of contradictions. Some would prefer the term hypocrite. My preposterous example of a diminutive NBA player was intended to be exactly that: preposterous, as is the concept of a level playing field, quotas, et al. In our country, Mr. Pot, freedom equals opportunity. But opportunity will never equal equality, even on a "level playing field".

Respectfully,
Mr. Kettle
