It’s a lot if you were one of the people raped.

Don’t care.

I care! De Blasio is great for the cause of freedom because he will push more NYC businesses to move to America.

Guiliani cured NY and the City couldn’t wait to elect liberals and statists. They deserve de Blasio.

I agree. The leftists, immigrants and sodomites have infected the city. Giuliani was the best mayor in a century. Crime went down and the city was clean and prosperous. Bloomberg and his smoking, salt, gun, knife, large soda, excess fat, and fourth amendment bans have crossed so far over the line that people have just rolled over. Stop and frisk is unconstitutional. Period.

If it were not for Wall Street, the city would collapse from lack of revenues. Did you know that New York has a tax especially to confiscate wealth from the banks?

Perhaps Lhota can step in after all the democrats have eaten each other alive.

Yes, but were those rapists SMOKING in Central Park? We couldn’t have that, now could we?

Man, do I hate this city. Born and raised there and live on Long Island now, but I’m still not far enough away. One day, I will escape.

I particularly like DiBlasio’s openness in his TV ads: “I will tax the rich to pay for programs for the poor.”

Bah! And they’ll fall for it, too, like always.

Regards,

Sorry for the typo on this moron’s name. It should be de Blasio.

Regards,

I love NYC- I grew up and lived most of my life there, and I still go back regularly. But every visit since Bloomberg has gotten stranger and stranger. I think law-abiding folks feel very “monitored” at every moment, and unless you’re a raving liberal (they like to be monitored), that’s not a pleasant feeling. Every little unimportant detail of our behavior is subject to oversight, all the way down to our diet, and not only in indoor spaces, but even outside in the parks. I would never have believed that could have happened in NY.

Yet the “rights” of criminals are firmly defended, and it’s pretty clear that they don’t feel monitored at all and in fact that the positions of de Blasio and others like him with regard to “stop and frisk” are actually giving the thugs a real sense of specialness and empowerment.

How crazy is that? Intimidate the harmless New Yorker going out for a Danish or (Heaven forbid!) a cigarette, and hover solicitously over the gang-banger who has a stolen weapon practically hanging out of his pocket while he looks for someone to kill.

And then they think they’re going to extort any more from “the rich” for putting up with that? Forget it.

You hit the nail right on the head, Livius. I appreciate that you love the City (my Daddy still does, too), but I’ve had it. The liberal mindset has spoiled the water for the rest of the state, and its infestation spreads far and wide.

The minute my husband begins the retirement process, I will start packing my bags. I’m already scoping out possibilities for a new home base for us, and it won’t be anywhere near NYC.

I have a dream, Livius. A dream that one day...one fine day...I’ll be represented in Congress by someone for whom I’ve actually voted. Do you know that in my 50 years, that has NEVER happened?

...sigh...

Regards,

PS: I do like the Mets, though! Been a fan my whole life. LOL
