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.”
There’s no place for views or beliefs contrary to the Marxist Left Agenda in Cuomo’s New York according to the governor himself.
While this is news from last week, the fact that a sitting governor specifically lists the political and moral beliefs of Conservative Christians as ‘having no place’ in his state – should frighten every American to their core, not just those in his state. Can the government now decide that if you oppose abortion, revere the Second Amendment and hold to values opposed to MarxoFascism that you must surrender your beliefs or move out the state? Will this progress to policies that will dictate you cannot work, live or earn a living in New York if you believe in things contrary to the Democrat/Marxist party in power?
This is the mark of a beast. When the government declares that those who hold to biblical, moral and political values opposed to the party in power ‘have no place’ in their state because ‘that is not who we are’ – then that same government and ideology will transform society into a totalitarian state. A political ideology that publicly states it will not tolerate dissent is the first stage of a political and physical purge.
History teaches the lesson that this is how genocides begin. They progress from simple demonization, to advocation of ostracizing which is always quickly followed by criminalization before pograms of eradication are adopted and passed.
America is now well on that path. This is not just an isolated revelation in New York – but it is a Zeitgeist spreading from Washington throughout the nation. Our future may well be sealed to this fate.
In a media interview Friday, Gov. Andrew Cuomo tagged his opponents as “extreme conservatives” and said that they “have no place in New York.”
Who are these “extreme conservatives?” Opponents of gun control, abortion, and homosexual marriage, that’s who:
“The Republican Party candidates are running against the SAFE Act… Their problem is not me and the Democrats; their problem is themselves. 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.”
Let’s deconstruct this for a moment. New York’s ultra-draconian “SAFE Act” permanently outlawed all military rifles developed in the past sixty years. It created State Police surveillance of all ammunition sales, and a required that the State Police keep a database of all ammunition purchases. It criminalized the possession of firearm magazines that were legally purchased decades ago without compensating the owners. It was passed at 2 A.M. with no committee hearings and no debate. Legislators were given 15 minutes’ notice to vote on a 39 page bill — not enough time to read it. And Cuomo waived a legal requirement that a three-day waiting period for public input occur before the legislation took effect.
And if you think that violates the Second, Fourth, and Fifth Amendments to the U.S. Constitution… you “have no place in the State of New York.”
Do you oppose abortion, which the science of biology absolutely proves kills a nascent human being in utero — largely to maintain culture of reckless promiscuity? Then you’re an “extremist” who has “no place in the State of New York.”
Do you oppose homosexual marriage, which did not exist in any culture in the history of mankind until 20 years ago or so? You extremist! You have “no place in the State of New York.”
The idea that a sitting governor of the fourth-largest state in the nation can tell people he disagrees with politically that they have “no place” in the state he governs is breathtakingly frightening. I cannot recall any American governor anywhere essentially telling American citizens to shut up or get out of his state. What about the constitutional rights to free speech, free association, and freedom of the press? What ever happened to the Madisonian idea that the rights of political minorities are to be protected from the tyranny of the majority? Whatever happened to all the incessant leftist rhetoric about “diversity” and “multiculturalism”? I guess “diversity” doesn’t apply to conservatives, does it?
How is this any different than saying “The Jews have no place in the Fatherland?” How is this any different than saying “The kulaks have no place in the Soviet Union?” “How is this any different than saying “The capitalist pigs have no place in the Peoples’ Republic of Kampuchea”?
Answer: it isn’t different. Every dictatorship marginalizes, delegitimizes, and dehumanizes its opponents before it strips them of their rights and crushes them.
If you’re under the mistaken impression that the U.S. is still a free country, and New York is still a free state… you’d better read Cuomo’s comments again.
Zero Tolerance for Christians in New York compared to Occupy Protests that dragged on for weeks. Christians arrested on site for praying against the ban on churches meeting in public places.
In a sickening proof that Amerika is become a hostile land for Christians who are no longer welcome or permitted their free exercise. Last Thursday New York City arrested 43 pastors and laypersons who dared to defy the Established Secular Order and PRAYED in protest about the city’s new ban on Christian use of public places for worship services that goes into effect February 12.
Police were ordered to arrest them all immediately for criminal trespass. Apparently New York has a Zero Tolerance policy if you kneel and pray in public and are a Christian, but if you are a secular anarchist who likes to shut down businesses and bridges, do drugs, rape and rob people – then you and your Occupy Wall Street pals will go unmolested by the Police for weeks and weeks, while the media rages in protest on their behalf if any of those scum are arrested for their disruptive and violent behavior.
And If you are Muslim you will get to pray in the streets facing Mecca while blocking traffic to call attention to your protests of America:
But if you are Christian, and are protesting for your Constitutional Right of free exercise from being prohibited by law in public places such as schools, streets and public buildings – if you join hands, kneel and pray – why then – you will be arrested with brute force in moments of your defiance to take a knee and pray.
Christians haves deceived themselves into thinking that injustice and persecution of Christians is something that happens only in far away backward countries.
They would be wrong. Institutionalized persecution – of which this author has personally witnessed and experienced in a land hostile to Christians, is already having a foundation poured beneath our feet and knees.
It makes no difference who you are if you are Christian, police arrested New York City Councilman and pastor Fernando Cabrera, pastor Bill Devlin, and five others on charges of “criminal trespassing.” Their alleged trespass was kneeling and singing two hymns outside the doors of the New York City Law Department.
THAT earns you jail time. But if you are protesting rich people and businesses and support Communism – then you can set up tents and shut down bridges and take over public spaces without so much as a shout against you by police.
But take a knee and pray in front of a public building in New York – you will get to enjoy plastic hand restraints and a ride in a paddy wagon to the local lock up.
