Edmund Burke's view on Human Nature

The concept of building a country of “equals” is in violation to the laws of nature. Man is a product of nature, and by following the laws of the physical world about us, man has become the greatest and most powerful force on Earth. As I have stated on occasion, “Social equality is against nature. Economic equality is against nature. The idea of equality is subversive of order.”

Look at the world around you. It truly is survival of the fittest. It is a physical display of propagation of the strongest, the wealthiest and the most intelligent. To suggest that utopia would be a world of “equals” is to ignore reality.

The strongest empires in the world are built upon the natural and organic state of nature. Society is a contract between the living, the dead and those who are yet to be born, and we are but a small part of a society. Our societal unit was built upon the wisdom and learning of our past generations. Liberal-thinking politicians deliberately choose to destroy our past in order to build what they believe to be our future. They are wrong. Our future must be built upon respect for our past and respect for the collective knowledge we have achieved to get to this point in time.

There cannot be equality in human nature. Societies, such as ours, that have a brilliant and rich history are bound by the law of natural order to continue to be leaders in the future, and well beyond. We must be one family, one society, one people, with one heart and one soul to achieve this destiny.

We severely limit our chances of future success when we limit our abilities by lowering ourselves to support those who are not of our family and those are said to be less fortunate. This is not a popular sentiment of an “enlightened” society, but it is the only sentiment that will ensure a positive future. Lowering ourselves to help others only results in all of us being lowered, and natural law does not support reverse-evolution.
