Alberta's Child, YOU ARE THE MAN!!!!!
"and nor, quite frankly, is New York City. People who walk around New York City can take some comfort in the notion that there are 40,000 police officers in that jurisdiction, and that few of their fellow pedestrians are permitted to carry guns. The city is just a place to do business, and for all intents and purposes these people aren’t even Americans anyway "
When I was a little kid growing up in New Jersey many years ago, after many visits to New York City, I EVEN THEN concluded that America began at the Hudson River.
Sadly, due to the diffusion of liberal New Yorkers into the Garden State, and in some cases, even PA, America now begins at the Delaware River. Not that ALL New York City residents are liberals - but the voting record and election results over many decades indicates that a great many of them - the vast majority - are.
This is a GREAT piece. It deserves to be on FOX News, or Hannity or Mark Levin or in the National Review. You very cogently make the case against Giuliani and lay out clearly and logically why he is not the personality he is attempting to morph himself into.
Like most people here, I'm a conservative first, which explains why I am a Republican. I will work very hard for a conservative Republican like Hunter, or Gingrich. Should the unthinkable happen and Giuliani, Romney or McCain get the nomination, I certainly will never vote for the Democrat, but I will have to do some serious soul searching about voting for any of the latter three candidates. But what I decide will have little impact on the repsonse in America's heartland to any one of these three loosers. Enough of the conservative majority of the Republican base will fail to support them, guarenteeing a Hillery victory. (And I don't for one minute believe Obama or anyone else in that party can compete effectively against a dup who made Arkancide a word in the English Language.)
My prediction is that Giuliani will get nominated due tot he number of candidates running. Hunter will get exposure as a viable conservative alternative. History will repeat itself and, as with the case with Ford, Giuliani will loose to Hillery. Hillery, with the help of the Democrat Congress and RINOs will turn America into a living hell - a leftist basketcase. In 2010 the Repubs will take back the Congress and then in 2012, the Presidency. Hillery, lacking the sleazy finesse and oratorical skill, as well as the pragmatism of her consort, will be a one-term President and in her last two years will be crippled by a hostile COngress.
Needs to said again.. and hard questions answered..
The republican denial is massive..
Seems obvious to me.. but most republicans are oblivious.. even here(FR)..
So the 9/11 attack on the WTC really didn't hit America, did it? Disgraceful.
Sadly, due to the diffusion of liberal New Yorkers into the Garden State, and in some cases, even PA, America now begins at the Delaware River.
It's funny you should mention that. The Pennsylvania tourist bureau had an ad campaign about 10-15 years ago, in which their official slogan was: "Pennsylvania -- America Starts Here!"
I always thought that was a creative play on words -- for the reasons you mentioned, plus Philadelphia's place as America's birthplace.
