I am listening to Mike Rowe (of Dirty Jobs) interview Will Swaim (?). The term “unintended consequences” was used in regards to the unions and environmentalists. I am reasonable sure the term is a smoke screen. There may be a few people that believe the nonsense but the leadership has an agenda beyond lining their own pockets. They intend the long term consequences.
Traditional Americans have been brought up to think the best of other people. The commissars and thugs of the left have been brought up understanding that is the way we were brought up. They know the rules we play by and giggle with glee when they are able to use our adherence to the rule of law to destroy us. Picture two men in a duel. The noble one points his pistol in the air and fires it off, signifying his honor is satisfied. The scumbag uses the pause to take very careful aim. One is praised, the other lives.
Get over assuming everyone plays by the rules or interprets them the way they were intended. Think of the judges who found the right of privacy in the Constitution when it had been missed for 200 years. Think of the crimnals who practice being insane so that they will be let off from paying for their crime. Think of the lawyers who talks circles to end up lying.
It is not unintended consequences. It is the ultimate goal.
What can we do about it? The first step is to recognize who they are and how they operate. The second is to vote and speak up to enforce the laws that are already on the books. Learn which judges rejoice in an opportunity to press their opinions as they sneer at the law. We can get things straightened out but we have to start with honest introspection.

Welcome to Varied Expressions of Worship
Welcome to Varied Expressions of Worship
This blog will be written from an orthodox Christian point of view. There may be some topic that is out of bounds, but at present I don't know what it will be. Politics is a part of life. Theology and philosophy are disciplines that we all participate in even if we don't think so. The Bible has a lot to say about economics. How about self defense? Is war ethical? Think of all the things that someone tells you we should not touch and let's give it a try. Everything that is a part of life should be an expression of worship.
Keep it courteous and be kind to those less blessed than you, but by all means don't worry about agreeing. We learn more when we get backed into a corner.
