They will cast that vote for you.
Christians will be 1st. Notice this is being voted on after the holidays.
That is just raw socialism! It must be put to a halt right now. New York is beginning to lose all reality. Now the legislature is doing it. Let’s hope the real people in New York stand up to be counted and put a stop to this craziness.
My looking further into this bill (and reading the whole stupid 4-page thing) reveals that it is a stupid flight of fantasy of one low-level fool in the NY Assembly. No one in their right mind has supported him in this. It is a classic example of “sending it to committee” where it quietly dies.
The Health Committee would not DARE even bring it up for serious discussion.
“And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?... The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin’s thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If...if...We didn’t love freedom enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the real situation.... We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.”
