Good article. I would add that the primary reason that Liberals always break the law of unintended consequences is that a big part of being a Liberal to begin with is that they are fundamentally blind to the notion of consequences altogether. It goes to the fact that they are emotionally immature, acting on impulse and in complete denial that there might be a consequence associated with the action.
And what is evil, if not the unrestrained impulse of a child backed by the power of government?
Great article and wonderful examples... The sad thing is: it could have gone on for 10,000... no 50,000 words.
This article is a treasure that can be shared with everyone’s liberal friends. It is not pejorative, but glaringly factual. We, who agree with this author, have to consider ourselves dissidents now, who have to spread the word by underground person-to-person means.
Bump!
Seems they are hoisted on their own petards, the over reaching will result in their landslide loss in 2010.
Bttt
And what is evil, if not the unrestrained impulse of a child backed by the power of government?
Precisely. The really unfortunate aspect of the disease, is it’s easy communicability in large groups and gatherings.
I would further submit they not only are in denial, some know exactly what the detrimental consequences are, and do not care!
Yes, that is evil. When you turn away from "Good" (God) then you're only going to be left with one thing, and that is evil.
None of this matters to ME because all the Republicans are just a bunch of RINOS and I’m never gonna vote for any of them against and I’m gonna vote third party instead and let the Democrats win every election and trash the country because I felt like throwing a little temper tantrum and hissy fit instead of getting behind Republican conservatives to....
((breath))
....take back the country for the conservatism that I say I believe in but show that I don’t because I’m an idiot who would rather navel gaze and pick my nose and gripe about the RINOs instead of doing something to get rid of them and replace them with solid conservatives because actually....
((breath))
....doing something but gripe and piss and moan would require me to get off my duff and invest some time and effort and maybe even money so I’m not gonna do it but will instead just destroy everyone else’s morale by being a lame-o loser who would rather whine about how the Republicans....
((breath))
....are all a bunch of RINOs and I’m never gonna vote for them instead of helping to retake the Party for conservatism and the country for conservatism and if you don’t like it that I’m going to vote Liberaltarian or Constitution or some other loser third party....
((breath))
....that doesn’t have a frog’s eye chance of winning then you’re just a sheeple who is also probably a liberal or a RINO too since you obviously don’t share my skewed whacked out idea of principles which allow me to sit around and do nothing but gripe and complain and let the Democrats win every election.
/whew
Oops. I violated the first law of HTML and didn’t close my italics function.
It IS sad that it could have gone on and on for 50,000 words. - It’ll be sadly interesting to see the “unintended consequences” of a monstrous spending bill that wasn’t even read by the lawmakers who voted for it - AND all the executive orders that Obama has hastened to sign into law.
The problem with Liberals is WE get what THEY deserve!
“Seems they are hoisted on their own petards, the over-reaching will result in their landslide loss in 2010.”
Hopefully the case, but what effect will an ACORN organization have on that scenario, which is now armed with billions of dollars and access to the levers of power?
It just did for 1,107 pages.
Liberals believe that only the elites deserve to have the personal liberty to make choices in their lives because the little people might not make the "right" decision. However this leads liberals to hypocrisy. Al Gore can harangue us for having too big a carbon footprint because we drive SUVs, keep our homes warm in winter and cool in summer and have too many kids, yet he can live in a mansion, ride in limos and private jets and have a flock of kids. Tom Daschle can lament about tax cheats on the Senate floor yet has no problem cheating himself.
Great article! Thanks for posting.
It’ll be sadly interesting to see the “unintended consequences” of a monstrous spending bill that wasn’t even read by the lawmakers who voted for it...I am way more afraid of the intended consequences.
Bang! You nailed it.
