The New York Times will say and do anything to advance their liberal agenda. They lie, they cheat and they beg. Most New Yorkers don't think like that, save for the extreme left, who look to the New York Times as some sort of moral standard to live by. And, we're the brainwashed -- you gotta laugh!
Of course. But I don't believe people on this thread and several others just like it understand what happens next. These cultural elites are neo-Marxists. Marxists believe the end justifies the means. Therefore, since we red state "rednecks" obviously don't know what's good for us, only the "sophisticates" with their superior knowledge and utopian intentions should be allowed to decide America's future.
Expect a full-bore assault to eliminate the Electoral College, so only states with large populations decide the outcome of elections. The drumbeat began before this election and we can expect it to get louder and louder. The campaign will be executed with traditional liberal duplicity and will be accomplished "by any means necessary."
They looked very sophisticated when they were at a dead run, pants wet, away from the trade center when their globalist friends were flying their highjacked planes into the buildings. There is no more parochial person on this planet than a New Yorker. They think the sun rises and sets on their city. It's a nice city in a few respects but it's tiny part of the world.
Upstate New York has lost ALOT of population and is no longer significant politically. NYC and its suburbs (most of the latter voting for Kerry as well) are what decide elections.
"They're very 1950's," she said of Midwesterners. "When I go back there, I feel I'm in a time warp."
Boy do I have news for you, Chickie-poo--
that isn't "very 1950's" you're encountering--that's "very 21st century!"
Read it and weep, slut.
"New York, feed thyself."
LOL! I bet someone has the old NY Post headline:
"FORD TO CITY: DROP DEAD!"
This is why we in the heartland should get used to the eastern fringe as "Out East," like Cali/Ore/Wash is "Out West". We used to call it "back east" but let's face it: we aren't EVER going back.
"People who are more competitive and proficient at what they do tend to gravitate toward cities."
"Gee, little redneck me thought people who were competitive and proficient believed in capitalism, and those who were not able to compete got government jobs or went on the dole. And civil servants and welfare recipients vote almost exclusively for Democrats."
NO no you don't understand. All the losers and incompetents are located in the country.
That's why all the slums, crime, violence, tenements, crumbling schools, teen pregnancy and prostitution, and disease are concentrated in small town America.
And the Bronx is a shining city on a hill.
I read it. It's delusional and depressing.
"A Blue City (Disconsolate, Even) Bewildered by a Red America"
If they're so smart, why are they bewildered?? A child could figure it out, but professors at the New School for Social Research don't get it!!
"Since we're in the majority now, Do you suppose we could switch colors? I have a problem with being called "red"."
Relax! Under Ronaldus Magnus we won the biggest ever game of Capture the Flag. Wear it proudly! I have one in my room!
These folks are about as a sharp as a bowling ball..
A midwestern farmer knows more about global interdependence and foreign interests than any NYC MD. His livliehood depends on foreign markets and prices and events. Midwester plant workers for John Deere or CAT are much aware of the events that will affect demand for their products in Indonesia or Chile. And you know most of us New Yorkers aren't all that sophisticated. Even those who vote Blue are basically neighborhood guys who go to work, pay bills, have a night out once a month for a good meal (Though in our case it's not to a chain, but to the local Italian, Chinese, Fill in your choice).
The Blue voters here are not convinced that the Republicans care about their concerns, just like the Red staters know the Dems don't care about them. If the two groups met in a bar or at a game they'd get along quite well. But the chicy sophisticates who have coe to personify my towm, I wouldn't give them directions, which they'd need if they ever ventured out of Manhattan or Brooklyn Heights.
I'd usually not agree with this but -
it's VERY HARD - VERY - Difficult for me to tell
you that you are Wrong ...
She is probably a hooker that claims to be an artist by erecting a male body part as a statue.
I was born and raised here in NY, and I love it. But I'm not even remotely as parochial as these people are. In fact, I met someone like those in this article today, and told her off. I said I was sick and tired of liberals assuming that everyone within earshot agrees with them. She mumbled something about "freedom of speech" and then shut up.
