    California Politician Apologizes For Concisely Expressing Radical Progressive Agenda


    California Politician Apologizes For Concisely Expressing Radical Progressive Agenda

    A city council member in Santa Barbara has officially apologized for his recent statement about the progressive agenda that resulted in blowback and mockery.

    Santa Barbara has been all over the news over the last two weeks for its "leadership" on the issue of plastic straws. Like Seattle, the progressive-run city has decided that straws must be banned for the good of the environment. ...


    ...For the second offense, employees face the possibility of a $1,000 fine or jail time, National Review notes....



    ...Among those who supported the radical measure was Santa Barbara city councilman Jesse Dominguez.

    At a meeting two weeks ago, Dominguez said in response to a question from residents about "what's next?" on the city's progressive agenda that "what's next" is "every aspect of people's lives"...

    "Unfortunately, common sense is just not common,
    " said Dominguez. "We have to regulate every aspect of people’s lives."


    The comment sparked strong backlash for the overly-direct expression of the progressive's top-down approach to imposing "common sense."

    In response, Dominguez officially apologized at a recent meeting, but made sure to insinuate that all those who took him literally don't understand the concept of "rhetorical" language.

    "I just wanted to apologize," he said, Noozhawk reports. "A few weeks ago I made a string of words in a rhetorical fashion about regulation and they were not taken as rhetorical and that’s my fault so I want to apologize."...



    ...As Powerline's Steven Hayward points out, Dominguez's attempt at downplaying his "string of words" won't play well among conservatives and libertarians:

    I know of a new editorial board member at the New York Times who will buy that, but otherwise I think everyone can understand exactly what the councilman believes.

    That “string of words” combines into a noose for individual liberty.

    And common sense.

    Here’s to hoping the voters of Santa Barbara recover their common sense and pull the string on Dominguez (and his “words”) at the next election, along with the other five knuckleheads who voted for the plastic straw ban.






    This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity (futility) of their mind, having the understanding darkened...
    (Ephesians 4:17-18)

    Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly...
    (Psalm 1)

    To add, this is how liberals think. I'm right about what I think, and if you don't agree, we'll just regulate every minutiae of your life until we conform you to how we thing.

    it hurts when you accidentally articulate the truth.

    I hope that's on a lot of campaign signs.

    It is frustrating to see that, not only do these people believe they have a moral right to change our nation into a dictatorship, but so many stupid people are willing to give up their freedoms to follow this "Utopia" the dems are offering them.

    These university students at Columbia U dont even know the rights afforded in the FIRST Ammendment. They honestly dont know what they want to give up. Columbia is where our former pres Obama studied how to destroy America from the inside. He nearly pulled it off.
