New York about to become conservative-free? (To be a New Yorker is to hate conservatives)

Absolutely best thing to happen. NY will now have lots of productive citizens leave who will leave for other places to live and be warmly received by states like Texas.

Meanwhile, those looking for the goodies that De Blasio intends to hand out will flock to NY. Soon, the state will look like Detroit, hopelessly in debt.

This is why we are a great nation of individual states: The forefathers were wise to see that individual states should have the freedom to decide how they should treat their citizens, who are free to leave for another place if they so choose.

The only danger we have is the creeping feds taking over of rights reserved for the states. Once they have control, people have lost their freedom to move as their only choice would be the difficult task of moving out of the USA.

The South was very correct in fighting for the rights of States to preserve the fundamentals of the Constitution which limited the role of the federal govt to certain activities, preserving those unspecificed to the auspices of the states.

We need to continue this fight in order to preserve liberty.

BTW, my belief is that the citizens of states who allow those like Cuomo to destroy their wellbeing will ultimately rebel and throw out these types in order to regain their prosperity.

This will be fun to watch. NY folding like an accordion. . . .

Just wondering, has Cuomo done any backtracking on these comments?

Sure has...

From what I've read, yes. I think he's trying to say that he MEANT that conservatives couldn't get elected by the moderate voters of NY.

Conservatives should sue the state of New York like the homosexuals sue the cake makers.

[randita]

Didn’t really harm Obama when he berated those who “cling to their guns and religion”. Or when he talked about “spreading the wealth”.

This won’t hurt Cuomo either. Seems like nothing Democrats say will be held against them.

I'm going to be very interested to see how many conservatives actually do leave. If the crazy taxes haven't driven you out is this really going to? I suspect there with be lots of Hannity-esque posturing and little actual result.

The Cuomo family seems to have a history of hate speech to their fellow Americans. It is the problem with political families. Like the royals taking about their serf’s.

[CincyRichieRich]

Unfortunately it isn’t realistic. People may be conservatives and they work for a company and that is where their job is.

Sure, sell house, move somewhere else...anyone seen new jobs lately other than gov’t ones???

It would be nice though so when things get beyond bad in NY, there is no one to blame...though it still will be Bush’s fault.

Just don’t speak your stupid beliefs here and give us your money.

My Christian conservative sister in Upstate NY has stopped asking me when I was coming back to NY and is looking at places here in AZ. :-)

[Fair Paul]

Thanks, I figured he would, but a tiger doesn’t change his stripes.

[Huskrrrr]

Will the last taxpayer leaving New York please turn off the lights.

[showme_the_Glory]

You’d think a state that has disarmed itself would keep it’s hate of the red states on the down-low.

This is news?

[R0CK3T]

Political cleansing.

All the same hate the Nazis enjoyed without the entrapment's of any bad feelings.

But don't be the least bit fooled, they want to hate...they need to hate.

Hating you is something they must do because its the great elixir to assuage their guilt.

Now they have a legal and acceptable way to live their hate through political cleansing of all non Marxists, and they don't have to be concerned about being accused of ethnic cleansing like extermination of the Jews.

So its all Politically Correct to Hate in America now.

What is that old movie? Was it ‘Escape from New York’?

[jersey117]

I love that word “choice”. Why not call it what it is? The “choice” is for a mother to take the life of her own child or allow them to be born.
