Governor Cuomo wants people
who believe in the Right to Life ( technically all Catholics at a minimum) along
with the majority of New Yorkers who do not live in the "Peoples Republic of New
York" formerly known as "Bloombergistan" where the 2nd amendment is not in
effect plus everyone who believes in traditional marriage ( i.e. the majority of
Christians, Orthodox Jews, Muslims, Hindus, Sikhs etc.) to leave New
York.
You are no longer welcome
here. You are without exception, all bigots, homophobes, zealots, extremists,
Nazis and potential mass murderers!
This from a man
who believes that abortion should be on demand, including right up to the time
of delivery and that gender selection should be a valid reason to terminate a pregnancy. Scratch a Democrat and
you will find a eugenist from the Peoples Republic of China.
This from a man who
screeched about not needing an assault rifle to kill a deer but doesn't seem to
understand the difference between real "Assault Weapons" which are already
illegal and firearms that only cosmetically look like military weapons. Ban the
e-cigarettes ...they look like real cigarettes!!!
This from a man who clearly
believes that thousands of years of religious and moral teachings about men,
women and the institution of marriage are suddenly all crap and now we have to
think like him and all the other "enlightened" superior beings who are going to
drag us into a "brave new progressive world whether we like it or
not.
New York State just hung a
sign out saying no conservatives as defined above ...need apply. No matter how
much the Governor tries to walk back his words...they are out there and will not
be forgotten.
And while the number
crunchers will tell you that the 48 "upstate" counties get more from the State
than they contribute in taxes the politics of the State have become so wasteful,
corrupt and extravagant that the time may have come for New Yorkers outside the
five city boroughs in particular, to go their own way. and say goodbye to the
cannibalistic politics of NYC, that are ruining the rest of the
state.
Staten Island, and parts of
Queens, Brooklyn and the Bronx that wants to leave also should be welcome to
join the exodus.
The epicenter of waste,
spending, social justice fear mongering, failed schools, and too big to fail
unions is NYC. Because of the new demographics in sheer terms of numbers, down
state and NYC now politically dominate State Government and the rest of the
state exists to feed this voracious political monster notwithstanding the fact
they receive back more per capita than they give. The question becomes one of
vision...what would a new state with sane fiscal policies, freed of regulatory
and ideological barriers look like?
A new state without the
noose of progressive politics which is going to kill the present state if left
unchecked, could be a place where by cutting taxes, the size of government and
the stranglehold of the public sector unions would become a magnet for new
businesses and the growth of present ones.
A new state without the
insanity of an environmental movement that thinks its a religion could release
the wealth under our feet and actually make the motto "Excelsior" a reality once
again and not a joke.
A new state without the
tyranny of left wing politics could be a place where people are protected by the
constitution and are free to live, worship and speak as they like.
A new state without union
driven politics could become a place where our schools , public including
charters and private, could be the finest not only in the nation but in the
world.
A new state without the
politicians of NYC would be an instantly less corrupt political
environment.
The notion of secession in
NYS in order to form a new state is nothing new. Efforts in the past have
included making Long Island a state; creating new upstate states called
"Niagara" and "Upstate New York"; the secession of Brooklyn and Staten Island
has been urged, the merger of Manhattan, Staten Island and Long Island in
something called "The Free City of Tri-Insula" was proposed prior to the Civil
War.
In 1969 Norman Mailer
running for Mayor and Jimmy Breslin running for City council President as
independents, proposed making NYC the "51st" state. Breslin's concession speech
is memorable by him stating that he was "mortified to be part of a process that
closed the bars for an entire day"!
In 2000, members of
the NYC City Council tried 3 times to pass resolutions of secession based on the
negative balance of payments NYC received from the state as opposed to what they
sent to Albany. That effort still lives.
In 2009 Rep. Randy Kuhl
proposed splitting the state into NYS and West New York. That effort is also
still alive with Assemblyman Stephen Hawley proposing legislation in 2013 to let
each County analyze, examine and opine on what the effects and impact on
partition would be.
Despite the current
economic and fiscal objections to secession, Governor Cuomo's inexplicable
comments, which many believe were designed to shore up his street "creds" with
the maniacal progressive left of NYC that he thinks may imperil his re-election,
are the final straw. In one stupid comment both poorly delivered and insulting
to millions of New Yorkers, he has figuratively used them as a metaphorical
fire hydrant. He also doomed any future candidacy for President.
His comments marked a
division of the spirit . Mayor DeBlasio has endorsed them while Senator Schumer
has launched a vicious attack on the Tea Party. They have allowed crass
politics to slip the leash that keeps political discourse civil and civilized to
become something malignant which disunites us because it disrespects us.
No one should think that
the creation of a new state out of this existing one would be easy. It would
not. The issue and the effort however are absolutely worth fighting for because
the political monstrosity that has been created by liberals over low these many
years can only be changed by starting over and starting fresh. NYS today is
like a bad marriage where the pain of separation has become less than the pain
of staying together... a moment in time where it's always the wrong time to be
right!
So ...Welcome to West New
York...please do not park adjacent to a gas well!
