Liberals and the mainstream media are foaming at the mouth over the comment Senator Ted Cruz made Thursday night about âNew York values.â
Now, all of us folks who are not New York City liberals know exactly what Senator Cruz was talking about -- and it had nothing to do with the aftermath of 9/11.
Senator Cruz was talking about cultural and political values.
âDuck Dynastyâ values versus Big Apple values.
As an expatriate Southerner who resides among the indigenous liberal population of Brooklyn, I know of what the senator speaks.
And to suggest that the senator was referring to the brave firefighters and police officers who were massacred in the 2001 terrorist attacks is not only disgusting but an outright lie.
But liberal politicians have never let the truth get in the way of their ugly agendas.
âI am disgusted at the insult that Ted Cruz threw at this city, and its people,â de Blasio said Friday. âAnd the bottom line is he does not understand, in the least, New York values.â
New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo called the comment âoffensiveâ and said if he âhad any class he would apologize to the people of New York.â
Thatâs the same governor who once said that âextreme conservativesâ who are pro-life and pro-gun are not welcome in his state.

Well said!
Everybody knows what Ted meant..
They just have to twist it.
That comment gave Cruz the win in the debate by a wide margin.
Bringin’ home the bacon, America wide.

Duck Dynasty people will strongly differ with you!

Yes, division is the Godly way.
(Matthew 10:34-36)
Cruz had it so right it will echo all the way to his inauguration.
>> Changing tagline.
Good one! But I still have the best tagline-good for about another year anyway.
So don’t call New York values what they are. Play nice and get along and don’t be divisive. That sounds an awful lot like the GOPe position...
And here I thought the big thing Trump was bringing to the table was calling it like it is. Not being PC. Exposing and crushing his enemies with no mercy...
Funny how you want it both ways...
I’m reminded of many of the posts here where California was bashed because of some law passed there that was very “progressive” (and therefore all Californians were painted with the broad brush, a good portion of whom are conservative).
The same could be said about most every other politically “blue” state, over the years.
But now, since Trump is from New York and Cruz is his political opponent, why, that’s just too much!
Oh my goodness! Those poor New Yorkers have been offended. The horrors of it all. Surely Cruz did not criticize New York!! Tell me it’s not so.
Used to love Fox News...Murdoch loves Hillary is all we need to know about them.
Anyone want to post again the pic of them yucking it up at a event table?
Cruz speaks for Iowa.
Cruz speaks against New York.
Trump speaks for America.
Nope, I'm from Texas, and I'm not a move in like Cruz. My family was here when it was still a Republic. Thanks for asking, though.
Cruz speaks against New York.
Trump speaks for America.
Exactly. Love your tagline, too.
It’s a shame Cruz deems it necessary to become so divisive. He’s doing this just for a handful of Iowa delegates. It’s a bad investment: he may gain Iowa delegates, but at the steep cost of losing so many more coastal delegates.
Trump is the better investor.
Thanks for the compliments on the tagline!
Good to know that you have roots.
.
Well, Fox definitely got this one right!
Ted Cruz definitely got it right, and Donnie Trump is apparently still covering for his leftie cohorts.
.
Trump speaks hipshots and NYC bullshit.
Cruz spoke for all of America except NYC lefties.
.
Cruz does America a service by dividing us from destructive NYC ‘values.’
Trump lost what little spine he had by trying to misstate Cruz’ comment in hopes of gaining points with the lefties.
Trump is history; America rejects NYC garbage.

Those roots appear to have been abandoned in support of a circus barker.
