While at odds over whether the State or the City should get to expropriate citizens' wealth, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo (D) and New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio (D) both agree that "there is no place in the state for 'conservative extremists.'"
The extreme views deemed by Cuomo to be "not who New Yorkers are," include "opposition to abortion, refusal to accept gay marriage as the law of the land, and an anachronistic attachment to the notion that access to guns for self-defense can be tolerated in today's world."
"These extreme views go beyond the bounds of civil disagreement and create a schism that endangers the very fabric of society," Cuomo contended. "It would be best if those holding unacceptable political positions were to remove themselves from the state before something awful happens."
"We all understand there's a right to free speech," de Blasio said. "But the Governor is right. As chief executives of our respective jurisdictions we have a duty to protect citizens from having to listen to 'hateful words.' Those who characterize abortion as 'infanticide' hurt the feelings of the millions of New Yorkers who support this therapy for unwanted pregnancies. The fact that many who make such a characterization also support private ownership of firearms poses a threat to New Yorkers' values that government has an obligation to suppress."

staten island is a world unto its own.
tried to secede but the bronx went crazy because they need our money for their welfare

I had a very liberal female boss at a job at an investment bank in NYC some years ago. The whole room, besides the other boss and myself, was liberal.
maybe 50 people to 2.
liberal boss asked me what i thought we should do after 9/11. kept pushing me.
So I said @#$@#$ Iran, @#$@#$ Saudi Arabia, @$#@#$ Afghanistan, Syria, Libya, just to be on the safe side.
blow them all straight back to @#$@#$ing hell!
Two “men” had to leave the room they were so upset :)

ROFL!!!! that was the funniest @#$ing post i’ve read in a while.
You’re crazy!
We’ll be fast friends :)

LOL! he’s annoying as hell. i thought he was probably long gone. but people buy the stuff!!

From you nick I’m guessing that, if you still live in New York state, that ‘your’ governor is telling you to ‘get out of Dodge.’
I wonder how many freepers live in New York state that he just offended?
G-F
Sadly, I did move away and never looked back.
