While de Blasio whined in Germany, Trump was our defender
The New York Post ^ | July 8, 2017 | Michael Goodwin

It is a tale of two New Yorkers. Donald Trump goes to Germany to defend Western civilization and promote economic growth. Bill de Blasio goes to Germany to throw verbal Molotov cocktails and promote socialism.

One is the leader of the free world, the other is a great pretender.

The mayor was in full Putz mode as he abandoned his City Hall post to join the anarchists, socialists and violent leftists trying to disrupt the G-20 summit. In the history of low moments in New York politics, de Blasio’s stunt stands out.

His decision to join an international rabble marked by vandalism and violence to “protest” Trump, the head of his own country and a citizen of his own city, shows where the mayor’s heart is.

Politically, it’s foolish — the city needs federal cash, and biting the hand that feeds is never wise.

Yet wisdom eludes de Blasio. He came of age with a fondness for Fidel Castro and the murderous Sandinistas, and refuses to grow up.

He kept his trip a secret until he was leaving, knowing he would be denounced. So he skulked out of town in the aftermath of a police assassination, the slow-motion collapse of the subways and a record surge in homelessness.....

How New Yorkers for Mayor can put up with de Blasio is beyond me. Doesn't speak very highly of NYC voters. No wonder the city is a mess.

de Blasio “helped” with the renovation of Hamburg. Brought a whole new meaning to the true and trite phrase, “Ugly American.”

“The fundamental question of our time is whether the West has the will to survive,” he said in his remarkable speech in Warsaw. “Do we have the confidence in our values to defend them at any cost?

“Do we have enough respect for our citizens to protect our borders? Do we have the desire and the courage to preserve our civilization in the face of those who would subvert and destroy it?”

The references to values and borders were a smash with ordinary Poles, but didn’t sit well with the sloppy secularists and socialists leading Europe to ruin.
No doubt de Blasio hated it, too.

Good — that was the point.

Nobody bothered to vote for mayor last time so they get what they get. It doesn’t help that the GOP is worthless and basically writes off every city.

Every big city with large minority populations end up with a DeBlasio type as mayor. Ignorant people vote ignorantly.

That’s what happens with leftist minds and importing third world ‘immigrants’ with no standards. Ellis Island had standards.

Every big city with large minority populations end up with a DeBlasio type as mayor. Ignorant people vote ignorantly. ************************************************************ Quotes to consider to remind us of what Freedom truly requires of us and the threats we face from our own government's machinations!

"A Democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of Government. It can only exist until the voters discover they can vote themselves largess of the public treasury. From that moment on the majority always votes for the candidate promising the most benefits from the public treasury with the result that Democracy always collapses over a loose fiscal policy..." Professor Alexander Fraser Tyler writing when the states were still colonies of Great Britain, explaining why democracies always fail.

"Between a balanced republic and a democracy, the difference is like that between order and chaos." John Marshall, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States from 1801-1835

"Remember, democracy never last long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There never was a democracy that did not commit suicide." John Adams.
