You Are No Longer Welcome

[Ame®icano]

I haven't lost anything in New York and have no reason to go there anyway.
If I had to list all 50 states in the order of my preference to visit on a vacation, I doubt New York would even be on that list.

Hm, then you can't list all 50. Just sayin'

"Who are they? Are they these extreme conservatives who are right-to-life, pro-assault-weapon, anti-gay? Is that who they are? Because if that’s who they are and they’re the extreme conservatives, they have no place in the state of New York, because that’s not who New Yorkers are."

Those were the words uttered by New York Governor Andrew Cuomo. These words have also signaled to me the arrival of something I've feared in America. This something is an era of hyper-partisanship, where mere political affiliation can warrant someone telling you "you have no place here." Has our partisanship reached such a level where we tell someone they no longer belong in the same state as you? Where will those of similar political leanings be speaking out against this?

Do Democrats and Republicans alike not have the same right to live in New York or anywhere? It was bad enough segregating blacks and whites some 50 and 60 years ago, now we must segregate between the letters "D" and "R"? This is why I speak in support of bipartisanship. This is why I favor it. For this is what partisanship will reap.

One will say "I will never get along with them." But I say you don't have to. However it isn't right or moral to begrudge them a place among their fellow Americans that they have made for themselves to live because of what their political beliefs are. The law notwithstanding, a man of any idea or philosophy should be welcome in America.

What Governor Cuomo demonstrated to the rest of America is an utter lack of tolerance, a lack of goodwill. No aspect of partisanship towards his fellow New Yorkers. The onus rests with the people who elected him, those people being the Democrats themselves. He is the manifestation of the intolerance they profess to combat. Cuomo represents an aspect of hatred that Democrats claim not to possess towards those of different beliefs.

You just don't get it.....

Trying to apply bible belt conservativism will not work in the Northeast. It is the reason why Republicans have lost the region.
Those Republicans you call RINOs are the ones who can still win. Forcing anti gay, anti abortion, assault weapon theology on the Norteast is a sure way to lose

Cuomo understands that....why don't you?

Do you know what's in New York, Teabagger? One World Trade Center, the New York Stock Exchange.

You don't know what Socialism is. Corporate bailouts aren't "socialism" in your misinformed mind, are they? No. Social Security for retirees? That's Socialism. Why should your tax dollars go to helping poor people who worked their entire lives to help make America what it is today, right? But the 1% job creators who nearly destroyed the world economy through illegal financial schemes? They deserve billions of dollars in public funds so that they can stay in business and reap 95% of the financial gains during the economic "recovery".

Here's a fun fact: Southern Confederate red states are the largest recipients of Federal financial aid, so all of those inbred mouth-breathing Teabaggers waving their stupid rebel flags who want to cut food stamps and other Federal aid "entitlement" programs are trying to cut funds to their own states which will increase poverty in those states, creating even more poor people who need help. The teabagger idea is that "private charities will pick up the slack". But private charities have all said that they are struggling to keep up with the number of people who need help, because the people who used to be able to donate to those charities are now also standing in line for assistance. Teabaggers can't learn, and when an animal can't learn, it fails to adept to an ever-changing environment and it dies.

Keep up the stupidity, Teabaggers. Real people are waiting for you to die off so we can make this world better.

Your arrogance and stupidity are astounding. Its not even worth addressing. I really do pity people that are dumb as you are.

That's the best you can come up with? "I pity the foo". Brilliant retort, Teabagger. You're obviously Alabama's smartest person. Try reading. Oh wait. You want to abolish the Department of Education for oppressing your stupid ******* religion by not printing science textbooks that mention the invisible man in the sky. When you stifle education, you get Teabaggers who can't think. Remember how the Texas GOP wanted to get rid of teaching "critical thinking skills" in public schools? Because they want more Republican voters. If a person can't think critically, then they will accept whatever mindless bullshit that comes out of Gretchen Carlson's mouth.

Learn to read something other than the ticker at the bottom of FOX News and then you won't be a Teabagger anymore.

Ive surmised from your posts that emotion is clogging your ability to think logically. Again, I'm sorry.

Cuomo was right. To Hell with the GOP and the Teabagger party. These people refuse to absorb new information unless it fits in line with their already mangled world view. FOX News viewers are consistently the least informed demographic in America. People who don't watch television at all have a better understanding of what is going on in the world than people who watch FOX News. These people are so braindead that they actually believe that there is an invisible man in the sky, they think that Sarah Palin is smart, they think that Reagan was honorable, and that Saddam Hussein outsmarted George W. Bush and the entire American intelligence network by shipping all of those tons of chemical weapons that everyone knew he had across the border to Syria. Teabagger GOP red state voters do not have a clue about anything. These people actually think that marijuana is dangerous even though they can't find one real example of marijuana causing a single overdose. Aspirin causes at least a thousand overdoses every year which are documented by doctors and coroners whenever it happens. Marijuana has not caused one overdose, ever, but all the Teabaggers have to say is, "Those doctors have an obvious libturd bias" and then they turn off their brains.

We can't teach these people because they don't want to learn. So we have to make them constantly aware of just how unwelcome they are. If these Teabaggers want to live in our America, then they are going to have to accept some basic facts: Ronald Reagan was a senile piece of shit who sold weapons to terrorists and funded genocide in Central America, George W. Bush lied to the entire world about the reasons for invading Iraq and set up a global network of secret torture prisons, there is no God, your religion is a psychotic cult that worships fairy tales that have no place in public government, and Ann Coulter, Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Glen Beck, Sarah Palin, Michele Bachmann, Megyn Kelly and the three monkeys on Fox and Friends are ALL WRONG ALL THE TIME.

Nope, he was wrong. The socialists can have NY though. I wouldnt move to that shit hole if I were paid millions.

Too bad for you

New York is a beautiful state

Funny how the radical left embraces dykes on bikes, hairy men in dresses, illegal aliens, jihad activists, convicted felons, homeless bums and the clinically insane but there is no room for a legitimate difference of opinion in the bigoted ignorant left wing mind.

Cuomo understands that....why don't you?

He understands that he rules over people who love govt and less freedom. They need excess govt in their lives to make it through life. He understands that and is there to lead them by the nose. He knows they can't think for themselves. Hell, its no different than when the tories were sitting up in pubs in boston getting their drink on with the redcoats and pontificating on the surly independent nature of the continental army.

Funny how the right still falls back on such simplistic rhetoric and still thinks it can win them elections

It is a beautiful state. Its too bad that their politics don't match the natural beauty of that state.

Republicans across the country should make this their theme song. Cram it down Cuomo's throat every minute of every day.

[NYcarbineer]

Like I've said many times, we have plenty of Republicans in NYS, it's just that very very very few of them are the odious rightwing extremist types,

very very very few of them especially in positions of power;

that's because collectively we NY'ers have the brains not to elect those sort of extremists.

That's what Governor Cuomo meant, and he's exactly right.

Republicans don't get it

Bible belt, TeaTard Republicanism doesn't fly in the northeast or west coast. You have to bring the type of Republicanism the people want. Anti gay, NRA driven, anti immigration will not cut it

Run a fiscal conservative who still cares about poor people and leaves the social dogma at home....you can win

Ironically, we in NY tend to elect the kind of Republicans that rightwing extremists believe have no place in the GOP.

[Governor Tom] McCall is well known for a comment he made in a Jan. 12, 1971, interview with CBS News' Terry Drinkwater, in which he said:
“ Come visit us again and again. This is a state of excitement. But for heaven's sake, don't come here to live.

Former Governor Tom McCall's Message to Visitors » Arts & Life » OPB

Referring to Oregon’s tourist industry in a 1971 speech, [Governor Tom] McCall may have first publicly voiced his famous “Come visit, don’t stay” slogan: “I urge them to come and come many, many times to enjoy the beauty of Oregon. But I also ask them, for heaven’s sake, don’t move here to live.”

Oregonians and others interpreted this message to mean many different things. But it did not stop people from moving here. (It might have even further enticed them!)

I've never actually seen you say anything bipartisan, so your harangue is a bit of a waste of time considering the credentials of the speaker. The fact of the matter is, that the democrats seek to fundamentally change America, for the worse. They wish to destroy economic freedom. From what I've judged from your posting, you appear to agree with my (and most Republican's) positions. What you are doing here is acting like a moderate hero.

I remember reading something about that a few years ago, AA. Lol, more people moved there. I think he wanted to keep the population lower to keep the solitude out there. I could definitely sympathize with that but not malice, which clearly is what cuomo represents.
