A Santa Barbara city councilman inadvertently let slip the primary purpose of progressivism in 21st century America.

The city recently criminalized the use of plastic straws. Speaking to that issue, Councilman Jesse Dominguez said, “Unfortunately, common sense is just not common. We have to regulate every aspect of people’s lives.”

How about regulating every aspect of this Marxist life? Start with getting him out of office!

Don't you appreciate the woman's competence to define for the rest of us, what is the "common good?" (One of the Borgia women would be better suited to be our leader!)

Nope, doesn’t appear to be a conservative at all. Sounds like they are also confusing The Sims for real life...

Someone should remind them even God doesn’t regulate every facet of our life. He likes free will.

I agree with part of his statement about common sense isn’t very commomn. I was just talking to my Father-in-law about this. How and when did it seem like no one uses common sense to solve or understand basic things, issues, or problems anymore.

Of course it all started with the nanny state regulations and change in education in the public school system.

Something. Ism.

Something ...

“We have to regulate every aspect of people’s lives.”

This is the goal of progressives at every level - local, state, and federal.

Our founding fathers knew of this tendency from the very beginning and devised an ingenious constitution to prevent it.

Then the disaster at Appomattox. Now the two million page Federal Register to regulate “every aspect of people’s lives.”

If common sense was the issue 90% of elected officials would be fired today.

God ... likes free will.

I'm not sure that God 'likes' free will, but He certainly did give it to us. To my understanding, if we didn't have free will, then what would have the point of Jesus' death on the Cross, and his subsequent resurrection?

I’ve posted this before in the tread about the myth of cosmopolitanism ( http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3659672/posts ) and I’ll post it again ...

Red Tribe: just leave us alone and get out of our faces

Blue Tribe: oh, hell no!

Red Tribe: whatever happened to he can’t even run his own life I’ll be darned if he’ll run mine?

Blue Tribe: that was only about your lot trying to limit the sexual and narcotic life choices of our lot.

Red Tribe: so you want government to administer everything that isn’t about getting your jollies? Only that’s forbidden when it comes to common sense regulation?

Blue Tribe: you’re putting words into our mouths.

Red Tribe: then don’t seek to regulate things we consider important enough and leave us alone for a bit.

Blue Tribe: oh, hell no!

“Does anyone think this is a conservative?”

Does anyone think this guy is an American?

Why do we have to live under laws he makes?

He has no connection to us and is not part of our nation.

Oh no, that would never do. They think they ARE God.
