Full Tile: Lupica: Next time Ted Cruz wants to criticize ‘New York City values,’ he should talk to brave 9/11 first responders

[Resolute Conservative]

On 9/11 American values were displayed, not New York.

“The next time Cruz shows up here and treats the city like an ATM machine, he should make a side trip to the Bronx and explain himself there on New York values; or to the Lower East Side, or Williamsburg, Brooklyn, or Jamaica, Queens, or 125th St. He should go talk to people in the Rockaways or Staten Island, the tough clubfighters of Hurricane Sandy, about New York values.”

Ouch.

[skeeter]

This kinda like saying 'anyone who criticizes San Francisco Bay Area values ought to talk to Pat Tillman'.

Everyone knows what Cruz meant.

New York ain't called the BIG APPLE for nothing. I visited there just to see why.

FABULOUS town.
They also have TONS of churches too, which also speaks to their values.

[a fool in paradise]

9/11 responders booed Hillary Clinton at the concert for NYC (Viacom and Sony later overdubbed cheering over the boos for rebroadcast and DVD release).

Why are they holding their tongues these days as Hillary aims to head back to the White House for another 8 years as co-president?

Maybe don’t elect all liberals all the time, NYC.

[Darksheare]

NYC values: squeegee men, park gropers, parking nightmares, taxes taxes taxes, governmental corruption, graffiti, soft drink naxis, and that unique stench permeating the city.

[cripplecreek]

That was a response. Values are something else and I’m not interested in those NY values either.

LOL

What idiot would believe that such remarks were aimed at anybody but DeBlasio? You have to attack communists wherever they are.

[The Ghost of FReepers Past]

City, not state. Does New York City have more liberals than conservatives in their government? In their population?

[miss marmelstein]

Did 9/11 happen in Iowa? Or was it Nebraska? Were the first responders from Alaska?

[cripplecreek]

Values that elected the likes of Bill DiBlasio.

[Darksheare]

Exactly.
And Dinkins.

[grania]

Everyone knows what Cruz meant

Yeah. He meant to keep Iowa caucus voters in line in spite of the Goldman Sachs loans being revealed, not gauging the negative overall impact it would have.

Again, Ted Cruz proved to be so smart that he outsmarted himself.

“The next time Cruz shows up here and treats the city like an ATM machine, he should make a side trip to the Bronx and explain himself there on New York values; or to the Lower East Side, or Williamsburg, Brooklyn, or Jamaica, Queens, or 125th St.

The Lower East Side, Williamsburg and even 125th street have all become gentrified.

Does Lupica get out much?

[skeeter]

There’re other threads for that non issue.

[miss marmelstein]

New York has its problems. But there is no graffiti, no “stench,” and no squeegees. You need to stop thinking you’re in a Cassavettes movie circa 1971.
