De Blasio Backs Cuomo: Wants Conservatives to Get Out
breitbart ^ | 1/23/14 | Kerry Picket

Posted on 01/23/2014 2:10:16 PM PST by Nachum

New York Mayor Bill de Blasio emphatically backed New Governor Andrew Cuomo’s controversial remarks that “extreme” conservatives – which he defined as being pro-life, second amendment advocates, or supporters of traditional marriage – “have no place in the state of New York.”

“I stand by that 100 percent,” de Blasio told reporters at the U.S. Conference of Mayors in Washington, D.C. on Thursday.

“I agree with Governor Cuomo’s remarks. I interpret his remarks to say that an extremist attitude that continues the reality of violence in our communities or an extremist attitude that denies the rights of women does not represent the views of New York State,” he added.

Governor Cuomo riled up conservatives in New York state as well as all over the country when he told a local New York State radio program last Friday “extreme conservatives who are right-to-life, pro-assault-weapon, anti-gay....have no place in the state of New York, because that’s not who New Yorkers are.”

The remarks have snowballed into a major controversy, with Fox News host Sean Hannity vowing to leave New York City, prompting a bidding war between Republican governors to persuade him to move to their states. Hannity is reportedly eyeing a political bid in Texas. At the March for Life yesterday, one participant pushed back at Cuomo, telling Breitbart News, "We're here, we're pro-life, get used to it."

When do De Blasio and Cuomo start building the concentration camps to hold those who don’t get out of NY?

If I were a liberal Democrat in 2014, I’d be laughing and crapping on everyone too.

No one is trying to stop these people.

What would happen if these two guys said that Jews don’t belong in New York State?

Yeah, but how many have given up on the political system and are sitting back, cleaning their guns and counting their ammo?

That would seem somewhat racist wouldn't it?

I think that's an excellent idea. I've always thought this would be a good way to tie politicians like Cuomo in knots. You (politicians) want to control every aspect of our lives? Fine, then we will call your office, email you, to ask permission to do the most mundane tasks in our lives. "What can I eat and when?" "Can I go to the bathroom?" This would shut their offices down if enough people did it.

Of course they would probably miss the point and actually think we need their "guidance."

They would drop another five or six House seats, dropping them ever closer to irrelevancy. Is this what they really want?

They are acting as if they want to return Manhattan to its original evaluation of $24.

Like Detroit today.

Too many Conservatives think they are engaged in a battle of ideas with Liberals. Liberals are engaged in a war with Conservatives. As far as they are concerned, Conservatives in New York are trespassers.

The problem is that conservatives never vote in NYC (believe me, I grew up there and lived there for much of my life) because there is nobody to vote for if you’re a conservative. Giuliani was elected because Dinkins had plunged the city into perhaps its greatest dysfunction ever, so maybe that’s what it takes. Total collapse.

Actually, almost nobody of any stripe votes anymore. IIRC, De Blasio was elected by a majority out of 22% of the total voters. People have got to get out and start voting again.

Of course, when they do (as on the UES), it can be dangerous to their health and living conditions if they don’t go with the leftist program.

In the 70’s, Coleman Young, the Mayor of Detroit told white people they weren’t welcome. See how well that worked out.

“Hannity is reportedly eyeing a political bid in Texas.”

I wonder what that means? His show on Fox was taken from prime time to later in the evening and that's not a good sign for his show, so maybe he would move to Texas. We will see if he is motivated that much to actually move. I read a day or so ago he was favoring Florida and today, he's favoring Texas.

Wants Conservatives to Get Out

Anyone still there isn't "conservative." Unless they are retarded conservatives, because they would have to have a severe mental impairment to not see where this is going. They had lots of chances to get out of there and the writing was on the wall years ago. I won't have a damned thing to do with any of them. You know what all those "conservatives" leaving NY, NJ, and CA are going to do once they scurry into your neighborhood? They will bring their love of big government with them. Anyone still there and tries to leave later needs to be shunned and avoided. They fouled one nest, and they will do the same to yours.

"parasites"

That's exactly it. 50% of the people who vote for Dems are either non-working leeches, incompetent at their jobs, or have jobs that have no productive value (actors, comedians, many gov. workers). That's why they look to Dems to steal money from the producers to give to them.

There are a few red areas on the map.

Mass abandonment of the city could at least bring rents down (pleasing Jimmy Macmillan of the Rent is Too D*mn High Party).

"Too many Conservatives think they are engaged in a battle of ideas with Liberals. Liberals are engaged in a war with Conservatives. As far as they are concerned, Conservatives in New York are trespassers."

That is called normalcy bias. Too many conservatives cannot understand that the Left would deport, imprison, enslave or kill them if they had the power.

The Left has over ninety million graves of political prisoners, reeducation camps, confiscation of property, religious persecution and the wholesale exile of entire populations to show historically just how tolerant they have been.

From what I've heard you're about ten million short, but hey - what's a few more dead kulaks?

No, giuliani was elected because the people of new york city saw that he was really Gargamel and they hoped he would rid them of their mortal enemies, the smurfs.
