Why don't they show the whole video of Hitlery?? IT was at the end where whe was literally screaming to talk over the boos! Everyone stops it halfway through...it's the end part that was the best part!
The "smart" people elected them and let them ride roughshod over the country for 8 years. Slugging countless decent people as they went along. The "smart" people want to elect Hillary president so they can loot the US Treasury even more than they did recently.
They won't beat "W". Because he IS the smart one. And Hillary knows it and she knows that recent events have doomed her. Unless they can do the most foul of things to "W". They won't, because we won't let them.
The NY fire fighters and police were just being truthful and honest in their reactions to the grifters. And nobody will shut them up. Not now, not ever.
A new day has come. A new clarity has arrived. And it does not include the most foul Bill/Hill and their gang of thugs, fags and thieves.
This article is the standard Clinton tactic -- attack and trash your attacker. But this tactic won't work any more. Imagine this fool, on behalf of the Clintons (him and her) thinking that an attack on New York City police and fireman as "uneducated" boobs who are just in their line of work for "20 years and then a pension." The only difference between the police and firemen who booed Hillary! and the ones who were burned or crushed to death on 911 is that those who died were closest to the scene and got there first.
"And today, the Awful American Award goes to (NAME] who wrote an article in the [NAME OF BIRDCAGE LINER] which attacked the police and firemen of New York City as uneducated money-grubbers. The phone number of this moron is [NUMBER]. You might want to speak with his Eidtor, too. His name is [NAME]. You can congratulate them on winning the Awful American Award."
What do you think?

I think it was Dave Barry who wondered why it is that "power to the people" so often seems to really mean "power to me and a few of my friends who know what's good for the people"...*****
Ah, perfect. It is so true, isn't it. And it is so against the principles of our Founding Documents!
New York is not big enough for both her and the cops and firemen.
They are working stiffs looking for a secure job from which they can retire in 20 years.
Yes - some of them were rushing up the stairwells of the Two Towers looking for a little bit of extra pension cash, n'est-ce pas?
Effing Clinton-loving New York elitists.
And an ugly American academic pastime is to characterize Americans as "anti-intellectual" and politically "paranoid." Richard Hofstadter, a famous professor of American history at some Ivy League school or other about 50-60 years ago, wrote two books that said it all: "Anti-Intellectualism in American Life" and "The Paranoid Style in American Politics." They're both still standard texts in American history courses in colleges.
I tried to sound as smart as I could. ;-p

SUBJ: Heroes vs. Clintons
Yes. They hate the Clintons because....the Clintons are smart. And they are dumb. Now you, sir -- you like the Clintons, it seems. Why? Because you are smart? That's a tidy little worldview: that which you like is smart, because you are smart. That which you dislike is dumb. Let's take it a step further: that which dislikes that which you like is dumb. So we have two opposing qualities, smart and dumb; you, intrinsically smart, are the font of smartness for all else. The remainder of reality may either concur with you or oppose you, and in doing so it will render itself smart or dumb accordingly. The only free actor, the only point fixed (at least in its smartness) and yet unfixed (in its capacity to unilaterally redefine) is you. Bravo. So what was that again? Ah yes -- they hate the Clintons because the Clintons are smart; hence they are dumb.
What nonsense.
It is possible to love the Clintons and yet possess a high degree of intellectual capacity and moral integrity. Surely you agree with that. But if you do not find it possible to have those same qualities and loathe the Clintons, then you clearly do not possess them yourself. What a failure of perception and imagination; what a triumph of self-delusion to sincerely hold that the only possible grounds for booing and heckling the Clintons is -- what? -- a lack of basic intelligence! An inherent anti-intellectualism!
How, I ask, are you any different from the blinkered fundamentalist who rests easy in his assurance that those who disagree with him are the enemies of God? How are you different from the political extremist who convinces himself that his opponents are on the wrong side of history? You are not. Those who disagree with me -- they serve Satan. They are petit bourgeoisie. They are dumb.
You must be very proud. I hope you are, really. For there is a pleasure in pride; and with an ego so breathtaking, so monumental, I daresay you deserve whatever pleasure you may derive from it.

I'm so sick of reading that the cops' and firefighters' opinions don't matter because they are white and/or right wing. This is at least the third article I've seen that says just that, in so many words.
Boy, it sure is a good thing that leftists are so tolerant, open-minded, sensitive and inclusive! (sarcasm)
Awesome reasoning, Josh. May I assume that you are not the typical Liberal Arts major at an Ivy League college?
Good job.
I wonder why most of their supporters are dumber than dirt? Or, entertainers? Redundant!
. The lauding has gone so far that it now encompasses the schmucks, turds and rejects who clutter up what are otherwise decent professions, until those who are undeserving start to believe they are somehow worthy of the glory, the praise, the attention
If the SHTF, I want these "Schmucks, turds, and rejects" on my side.
the large number of the cops and firemen in this town are politically conservative, from undiverse neighborhoods, not educated much above high school, and as small-town as you can get and still be from New York City.
Most cops I know are conservative. Same with firemen. These BLUE COLLAR conservatives make this country. They are the backbone. Not you(writers of "World New York"). As for not educated much beyond high school, so what. They come from the best schools in the universe. The School of Hard Knocks. If you are robbed, WTF would a college education do? Who would you want on your side? Professor Smith? Or John McClane? I'll take McClane. As for small towns? Why are people leaving cities for small towns?
People distrust her, and her husband; or rather, the Clintons tend to bring out anti-intellectualism. It's an ugly American past-time, hating the smart.
We don't hate the smart. We hate arrogant jackasses like the Klintons. I'm college educated. I'm also from a blue collar family. I repect the blue collar professions as well. I'm not 'above' these people.
If you know what you're talking about, and you're confident, people think you're lying.
No, it's just that in small towns, and in blue collar areas, we have a damn good BS detector. We KNOW the Klintons lie. We know they don't give a damn about us.
So to "World New York". Two things. One, you are full of crap. Two, we are smarter than you. That's not an opinion. That's an undisputable fact. Why? It's simple. We aren't dumb enough to write this piece of crap article. That's why.
