Where liberty infringes on the liberty of others, there is no equality.

The constitution is supposed to protect our liberty, there is no constitutional right to equality.

Cons have an historical track record of using legislation to tilt the equality thing in favor of economic predators...

Example?

...and equality is actually a liberal concept.  :whistle:

I totally agree.  The left yearns for equality so they make a tortured argument that the constitution authorizes the government to force equal outcomes through the commerce clause and the general welfare language.  Conservatives read the constitution as written.

Actually the equality thing is funny.  Conservatives back the notion of equality in that they believe that the government should treat everyone equally but they also recognize that the government has no authority to force the equal outcomes when private citizens are dealing with each other.

Liberals on the other hand, see no reason for the government to treat citizens equally yet they want the government to force equal outcomes when private citizens deal with each other.

The difference is stark and classic.
