Pat Buchanan: Where is "scientific proof" all men are created equal?

[Beet]

The statement from the Declaration of Independence derives from Thomas Hobbes' observation in The Leviathan that all men are roughly equal. In general, I find this observation to be true. Society creates far, far, far larger stratification between people than are found in biology. I, for one, am a white supremacist. My political ideology derives from the thought of old, dead white men, such as Hobbes.

To see how true Hobbes' observation is, just note that the inequality between people at age 18 is far smaller than the inequality at age 48. If, one day, the least popular kid in school beats up the most popular kid, he can become the most popular kid overnight. On the other hand, if you are a homeless bum at age 48, the hurdles are far higher to overcome your former classmate who has now become president of a medium-sized company. At age 48, people have a social station, whereas at age 18, they don't. Hence, reducing people to biology has an equalizing impact, compared to how we normally conceive of human inequality.
