Sanctimony Rules In Iowa City

There are two stories in the Iowa Press-Citizen reporting that the City council will vote on the two ordinances which will effect activities in the bars in this city. The first will be the ordinance to prevent anyone under 21 from being in the bars after 10 p.m. in response to a petition by the 3576 "concerned" citizens of the "We Want to Rule Every part of Your Life" Nanny Group. I am sorry for disparaging people who only want to give us a better life..Yeah Right!, and I have beach front property in Florida. This is just an example as I mentioned before of a bunch of old "fuddy duddy busybodies" that cannot believe they have lost their youth. However, instead of enjoying the lives that they now have, they CHOOSE to stick their nose in everyone's else's fun and want to shut it down, so they can sit back on their sanctimonious a""e" and feel "oh so much more superior" to the rest of us.

Which brings us to the second story which is the City council will also either decide to ban all amateur fighting in the city bars or leave it for a vote in the fall. The proposed ban stems from safety concerns over the Union Bar's Fight Night. Every Wednesday since March, the downtown bar at 121 E. College St. has featured a popular mix of amateur boxing, ultimate fighting and grappling matches.
This is again just another attempt to take every bit of fun out of living in this Nanny city. The people who enjoy this type of fun should be left alone. There have been very appropriate comments that they should be regulated and have medical personnel and anything else that makes it safer, but these people are not doing anything worse than you would see on a regular episode of JackAss. I do not participate in or enjoy this kind of "fun", but I am not "Superior" enough to say that they cannot enjoy themselves with this kind of activity.

Why is it that "Progressives" are always trying to squeeze the fun out of everything in life. I swear you let them keep this up and the next targets will be the fast food restaurants, because eating high calorie foods can result in injury to your body just as great as a few punches or a few drinks. You wait and see, their ultimate goal is to decide every part of our lives for us. Big Brother lefties are just as bad as Big Brother righties, and just as scary and dangerous for people who believe in living life and personal liberty.

Take care and save us from people who just want to "help" us live better lives.
