De Blasio hides after praying at St. Patrick’s Cathedral
NY Post ^ | December 22, 2014 | Michael Gartland, Priscilla DeGregory and Bruce Golding

As cops were being threatened and assaulted and the city reeled over the execution of two officers, Mayor de Blasio prayed at St. Patrick’s Cathedral Sunday — then went into hiding.

Police Commissioner Bill Bratton visited the scene of the horrific attack in Brooklyn and Gov. Cuomo paid a wrenching condolence call to the home of one of the slain cops, but de Blasio ran from reporters and was nowhere to be found after the church service.

I wonder if New Yorkers are feeling any buyer's remorse over picking this moron over the other great Democrat candidate ... Carlos Danger (a.k.a. Anthony Weiner).

He could probably still clear fifty-plus percent of the vote. The problem I see....the Cops and Firemen union will be totally against him from this point on out. The teachers union might still side with him...at least until he does some budget cuts. The anti-frisk crowd will also stick with him...until criminal statistics go sour.

If so, they aren't saying because New Yorkers are never wrong.

Too many of the public sector employees aren’t even NYC voters; who would make so much money and still live in that Third World hole? They vote in Westchester & Orange counties, or out on the island...

The mutants living in the city itself? Yes, they’d probably elect him again in a heartbeat; those are the freaks holding the signs.

Yes, and Cdl Dolan gave them a photo op, coming out of the Cathedral smiling with the odious Mrs. De Blasio on his arm.

DeBlasio is an avowed Democratic Socialist who raised money for the atheist Sandinistas! His appearance in St Patrick’s Cathedral was merely for show, and a poor one at that.

He contributed to the environment of hate that gunned down these police officers. He and Sharpton, Obama and Holder caused this to happen, through their political lying and poor leadership. This is the closest the nation has come to a race war, and it is getting worse. These people are a disaster.

DeBlasio, a German-American, changed his name to attract Jewish voters

NYC and it’s voting residents are no smarter than voters in Detroit. New Yor City is over rated and little more than an armpit that businesses are moving out of. Want to see the future of NYC? Look at Detroit, MI and Chicago, IL.

The smart, rich people are moving out. NYC will last longer because of the “prestige” associated with the media. But that too will pass.

He considers Al Sharpton his friend and confidant. Didn’t Al lead the rally where they chanted,

“What do we want?”

“Dead Cops!”

“When do we want it?”

“Now!!!”

That is the sort of friends democrats keep.

de Blasio is as much a Catholic as is Nancy Pelosi. In other words, he isn’t. Yet they are both more than willing to pretend to be Catholics, if they think they can use the church to their advantage.

Which raises a theological questions: should the church offer sanctuary to an unrepentant pagan who hates and wants to destroy the church? Or really, not sanctuary, but defense from public scorn?

Is that a joke? Most Catholic voters are democrats, that is why Obama won the Catholic vote both times, and why the left wants to import them by the millions, as voters.

Neither of the officers were Catholic, btw.
