Common sense................funny
Upstate is red, and the City denizens I know are either mild mannered libs/dems, or mild mannered libs who vote republican for economic sense.
They are pro gay lifestyle acceptance, imposing it on their kids. They wouldn’t dream of opposing abortion, forget opposing birth control. Decent people bore them, so they don’t get to know nor understand them.
There’s not a conservative in sight, save the 80 to 90 year olds.
Is that what upstate is like?
BTW, there are TV ads begging people here to come and live in NY, AND saying there are no taxes for new residence.
They just fell behind Fla as the most populous state. WOW, and Cuomo’s telling people to stay away. Does he know these come to NY ads run in Texas?
No taxes? Has to be a swindle. The property taxes on the house in which I grew up are about $30 grand a year.

“Extreme” is constantly being redefined.
Satan is alive and well.
But his time is short.
So he is working hard
to bring death.
...and they will be spewed out.
NYC and its environs have a hard time keeping up with technology.
THe buildings are very old (they are good, and they are aesthetic) and cannot keep up with even air conditioning, let alone wifi, cell phone signals, satellite, for the average resident.
“his prejudice and fear is causing his hatred”
Sometimes evil is the cause of hatred.
Where you find wholesale baby-killing, can Satan be far away?
“But those who DO trust in the Lord and call upon Him will be saved.”
Their souls will be saved. I don’t think that guarantee extends to their country. The dims will pull the United States down with them.
“Is it right to kill one year olds? Or babies born alive in an Abortion mill? Its a hard question on many levels that brings out passion.”
I’m sorry, but I don’t believe the question is difficult on any level.
Killing babies is wrong. Period.
I reside in the Capital Region where the hub (Albany) is blue but the suburbs were predominantly red. That is beginning to change as more companies relocate to this region. Not sure where you reside in the state. Here is the presidential election map.
BTW, there are TV ads begging people here to come and live in NY, AND saying there are no taxes for new residence.
I believe the ads are for business and the no taxes apply for only 10 years.
When will thisCREATUREBe EXCOMMUNICATED?????????????
Bump.

Cuomo has the job because of his greatest skill: being born to a successful father.
Wow. He’s clueless. Pray for him and all of NY.
Look for the state of New York to have bad luck. The leaders in New York defy goodness. You can’t defy goodness and prosper.
More to the point, people who are pro life are not welcome. Think about that for a minute... If you are for life, you are not welcome.
That is both incredible and damning.
The nature of the current resident at 1600 Penn. Ave. proves that's not a problem.
The world hasn’t seen a country as Christianized as this, however.
God’s own bragging rights are at stake here. Is He going to let the devil crow about how he managed to bring down the greatest display of gospel on earth yet?
Call me crazy but I’m banking that the answer is NO! And it is for God’s own sake. Not because of our sorry asses (pun intended). But because Christ gave His hide (and His blood and the rest of Himself) on the cross.
And the bible pattern is that way too. Israel was chastised but never has been sent extinct.
I feel a very strong current of redemption building under the surface of this self inflicted agony. God has something at stake here that was never at stake during the Old Testament.
Andrew Cuomo needs a great deal of our prayer...for his repentance and deep conversion.
I’m just pointing out factors that have historically hobbled Christianity’s practice in America. It seems those are two big fleshly bandwagons that manage to miss an important part of the truth bigtime. And their proponents sadly often go at one another’s throat rather than providing opportunity to evaluate both in the light of scripture.
Roman Catholics, in practice, are heavy Arminian, incidentally.
I have found an exceedingly simple personal truth with God. Give God credit for being able to do all He promises to do, ask based on the promises, and God will then come through brilliantly on the promises!
Every day I become more optimistic about God’s redemptive work. And it is not a dice-throw that distributes this optimism. Every person can believe it if he or she is willing to put down his or her self-held defenses. That often takes coming to the end of oneself. I used to dread that as a quintessential shame. But now I welcome coming to the end of myself because then the Lion of Judah starts to roar for me big time.
I feel a very strong current of redemption building under the surface of this self inflicted agony.

So do I HiTech. However, I also believe that the “agony” will worsen before that in order to fully awaken us. The great emphasis on evangelization (beginning with those IN the Church) from Church leaders and active members right now also confirms this to me.
