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

Agree. He got the first part right. Then his common sense evaporated.
A word for those who are wise, and understand. Learn it, understand it, and FIGHT LIKE HELL against it!
Someone at DNC Headquarters just ordered a bunch of Maalox in 55-gallon drums.
Not God...only smarter than God.
That’s 2 million pages too many, and unfortunately it keeps growing.
Rather, if we didn’t all sin then what would be the point of Jesus Resurrection? ;)
Free Will didn’t get us in trouble, it was choosing sin that mucked things up. I was pointing out the God gave us options and doesn’t regulate our lives like the person in the story sees to do... they in fact, want to ‘have more control over our daily lives’ than God does.

A "string of words in a rhetorical fashion" is commonly known as a sentence. These have meanings. There is nothing "rhetorical" about regulating every aspect of people's lives. It was taken literally because that's exactly what it means.

Bump!
Is that his mother?
BINGO
A pox upon *both* groups of regulators.
Not in a hundred years will he be able to walk that back. Those horses are running and the illegal aliens mucking out the barn stalls just lost a paycheck.
