On Friday, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo (D), who has been widely discussed as a possible 2016 presidential candidate, toldSusan Arbetter of The Capitol Pressroom that “extreme conservatives” should leave the state. He said that “extreme conservatives who are right-to-life, pro-assault-weapon, anti-gay” have “no place in the state of New York.”

He began by ripping into the Tea Party without naming it:

You have a schism within the Republican Party. … They’re searching to define their soul, that’s what’s going on. Is the Republican party in this state a moderate party or is it an extreme conservative party? That’s what they’re trying to figure out. It’s a mirror of what’s going on in Washington. The gridlock in Washington is less about Democrats and Republicans. It’s more about extreme Republicans versus moderate Republicans.

He then added:

You’re seeing that play out in New York. … The Republican Party candidates are running against the SAFE Act — it was voted for by moderate Republicans who run the Senate! 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.

New York’s Governor Andrew Cuomo says people who are pro-life, pro 2nd Amendment, and/or pro-traditional marriage “have no place in the state of New York.” Gov. Cuomo is an idiot!

Andrew Cuomo is either off his Med's or needs to get the hell back on them as soon as possible

Glenn excoriates NY Governor for telling ‘extreme conservatives’ to get out

Monday, Jan 20, 2014 at 1:22 PM EST

Video at the Page Link:

New York Governor Andrew Cuomo made headlines over the weekend for comments he made about “extreme conservatives” in New York State. During an interview with Susan Arbetter on WCNY radio on Friday, Cuomo criticized “right-to-life,” “pro-assault weapon,” “anti-gay” conservatives:
CUOMO: The Republican Party candidates are running against the SAFE Act — it was voted for by moderate Republicans who run the Senate! 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.
Cuomo did lend his support to the “moderate Republicans” that have consistently worked with Democrats to pass his agenda. But he urged the “extreme conservatives” to “figure out if your extreme conservative philosophy can survive in this state and the answer is no.”
On radio this morning, Glenn questioned whether or not the New York outpost of TheBlaze would still be welcome in the state given the company’s pro-life, pro-Second Amendment stance. Furthermore, Glenn questioned what Cuomo meant by the term “anti-gay” for he couldn’t think anyone who is against a homosexual’s right to live and work in society.
The governor of New York, Andrew Cuomo, said some conservatives have no place in the state of New York. ‘Extreme conservative’ – the right-to-life, pro-assault weapon, and anti-gay have no place in the state of New York because that’s not what we as New Yorkers are.
Wow, I didn’t know you could speak for everybody in New York. And I don’t even know what ‘anti-gay’ means. You’ll have to be more specific because I’m the guy who holds two out of those three opinions. They’re the first two. The third is: I stand with members of GLAAD or anybody who is a fascist and says you don’t have a right to live, you don’t have a right to work, you don’t have a right to pursue your happiness. I’ll stand against anybody who is a fascist, whether it’s a heterofascist or a homofascist. I’ll stand against you. And I will join with anybody who understands what fascism is because I still find these things self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they’re endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights. And nobody can change them.
Now, Andrew Cuomo says, who are these extreme conservatives who are right to life, pro-assault weapon and anti-gay… because that’s not who New Yorkers are. Well, I’d like to ask a few questions.
If you’re a moderate conservative, does that mean you’re okay with killing half the babies? Is there a number, Governor Cuomo, because right-to-life doesn’t make you a moderate to, say, half the babies? By the way, the numbers in your state fall apart… Right now it is up to five months… you can come in and kill your baby. But once you go above five months, everything starts to change with your constituents… Most people will say they’re absolutely pro-life, with an exception of incest, rape, and life of the mother. That’s where the numbers start to really get strong. And that doesn’t seem extremist. That seems rational to me. That seems like somebody who has a heart. Now, I know there are a lot of people that say, I don’t agree with that. And quite honestly, Governor, I wish I could join them. I wish I could be that way. But my heart won’t let me join them… But I don’t condemn them… I want to learn from them. And I might find that they’re absolutely right. I might find that they’re absolutely wrong. But I will decide that.
When it comes to the Second Amendment, let me ask you something: What kind of gun is okay? Because if I take the metal or the plastic off of an AR, I pretty much have a deer rifle. It’s only that we’ve spray painted them black and made them look spooky. Yes, they’re semi-automatics, but so are semi-automatic guns. Lee Harvey Oswald killed with the bolt action, so he had to put another round in the chamber himself. But look at the damage he did. So where is the line here? Is it only the ones that are spooky looking and painted black? Are deer rifles okay? And if I made an AR look like a deer rifle, I’m sure, Governor, you wouldn’t know the difference. Would that be okay? I want to know where the line is on guns because I really thought abortions should be safe and rare. I thought that was your position. Now it’s anybody who is pro-life is an extremist. Right now you’re saying ‘assault weapons’, but all of the laws that are being enacted in the state of New York are not just against assault weapons. They’re against any weapon.
And I’m sorry, Governor, but I don’t know anybody who is anti-gay. And if they do, I would be the first to point them out and say, ‘That person hates gay people because they’re gay.’ There are gay people that I don’t like. It has nothing to do with their sexuality. There are straight people I don’t like. It has nothing to do with they’re sexuality. I think basing your like and dislike on somebody’s sexuality is one of the most moronic things I’ve heard. How about on this Martin Luther King, Jr. Day we judge the man by the content of his character… because I have a dream today that someday liberals and conservatives, our children can go and play together, and learn together, and be together. I have a dream today that I’m not a second-class citizen in this country.
My good friend, Pastor Hutcherson, died a few months ago. He was a black man who watched the freedom buses burn. He watched them burn. He watched his own people beaten. He hated Martin Luther King when he was young because he wanted revenge. And then he found the Lord. And that changed his heart. He no longer wanted revenge. He was thirsty for love. And he spent his whole life trying to find people who are like-minded, that understood anger and rage is not the answer. Love is the answer. If you say that people who are pro-life, pro-assault weapon, and however you define anti-gay don’t have a place in your society and in your state, I don’t think I have a place in your state… I don’t want to live in a country where we round people up for their opinion. The arrogance is astounding from the left.
Cuomo’s office has since come out and said the governor’s comments were “distorted.” The office points to another portion of the interview in which Cuomo says “it is fine” to oppose gun control measures and to be anti-abortion, adding that “he respects both positions.”

Gov. Cuomo: Pro-life people not welcome in New York

http://global.fncstatic.com/static/m...n-examiner.png

By Charlie Spiering
Published January 20, 2014

New York Governor Andrew Cuomo believes that pro-life activists along with anti-gay activists, and supporters of the Second Amendment, are not welcome in his state.

During a radio interview on Friday, Cuomo pointed out that Republicans were in the midst of a schism, where conservatives worked against moderate Republicans.

"Their problem is not me and the Democrats; their problem is themselves," he said. "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."

State Republicans blasted his comments, the New York Post reported, even as the governor walked them back on Sunday in an open letter to the newspaper.

SEAN HANNITY TO LEAVE NEW YORK AFTER ANDREW CUOMO'S ANTI-CONSERVATIVE RANT

http://cdn.breitbart.com/mediaserver...annity-afp.jpg


by JEFFREY POOR 20 Jan 2014, 4:40 PM PDT 1204 POST A COMMENT

In a radio interview last week, Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D-NY) made some disparaging comments about pro-life conservatives, stating they had “no place in the state of New York because that’s not who New Yorkers are.”

Those remarks drew the ire of conservative talk show host Sean Hannity, who on his Monday radio program declared he had enough and was abandoning his home state, where he hosts his widely syndicated radio show and his high-rated Fox News Channel television program.

“Now I want to tell you something – I was born and raised in New York,” Hannity said. “I want you to know that and I can’t wait to get out of here. I really can’t. I don’t want to pay their 10-percent state tax anymore. I live in the second-highest property taxed county in the entire country in Nassau County. I can’t wait to sell my house to somebody who wants it. I can’t wait to pay no state income tax down in Florida or Texas. I haven’t decided yet, but I’m leaning Florida because I like the water and I like to fish.”

Hannity has hosted a radio show in New York City since the late 1990s. In 2001, the show was syndicated and has since filled the current 3 p.m. ET to 6 p.m. ET time slot. He will be following in the footsteps of conservative radio talkers Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck, who had also fled the Empire State for Florida and Texas, respectively.

“Gov. Cuomo, I’m going to leave and I’m taking all of my money with me – every single solitary penny,” he added. “And by the way governor, because I work here – there’s a whole bunch of people that work for me and benefit because I do two shows. And I guess maybe some of them will be out of work, governor. I’m sure you’ll take care of them.”

Alabama Governor Extends Welcome Mat to Shunned NY Conservatives: Come on Down!

http://d1ovi2g6vebctw.cloudfront.net...26433e6d63.jpg

• On January 20, 2014

Earlier this week, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo declared that “right-to-life, pro-assault-weapon, anti-gay” conservatives are not welcome in his state.

Fortunately, those “extreme conservatives” have a place to go: Sweet Home Alabama.

On Monday, Alabama Governor Dr. Robert Bentley had a simple message for them. FromYellowhammer News:

“In Alabama we strongly support and uphold our great U.S. Constitution on which our nation and our states were founded,” Bentley told Yellowhammer. “The Constitution serves to protect individual Freedoms. Among them are those guaranteed in the Second Amendment, which protects the right of the people to keep and bear Arms. We will protect the Freedoms of individuals and welcome any one or any company to Alabama to discover as so many have, that we are a pro-business state filled with good, hardworking people.”

“Alabama has so much for people to enjoy, from our warm sunny beaches to our beautiful lakes and rivers,” Bentley said. “We’re proud of the cultural diversity that makes our state so unique, and we welcome New Yorkers and anyone to experience for themselves what makes our state so great.”

Since his election, Governor Bentley has been an outspoken supporter of conservative talking points and has worked with the state legislature to issue some of the nation’s toughestimmigration and abortion laws.

Alabama House Speaker Mike Hubbard joined Governor Bentley in welcoming New Yorkers to Alabama:

The comments made over the weekend by New York Governor Andrew Cuomo are reprehensible. If he doesn't want hard working pro-life and pro-2nd Amendment people in his state, we will gladly take them here in Alabama. Like this post if you agree with me that Gov. Cuomo should be ashamed of himself.

Now, before everyone starts throwing around the inevitable string of jokes that is to follow, I’d like to point out that, unfortunately, there are plenty of racists, rednecks and hypocrites in every state. However, as an Alabamian myself, I’m happy to extend our noteworthy hospitality to anyone who wants it. We’d love to have y’all!

New York now has a state landlord. And he wants to evict most of the population...New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo blasted people who oppose his push for gun control, unfettered abortion and gay marriage. Cuomo said those who are “right to life, pro-assault weapon, anti-gay”…they’re “extreme conservatives,” and they “have no place in the state of New York.” That’s odd, I thought a lot of New Yorkers were pro-life Catholics. In fact, his own father, former Gov. Mario Cuomo, supported legal abortion but claimed to be personally pro-life. He’d better start packing. And so should a lot of New Yorkers. A poll last year found that 80 percent of them oppose unlimited abortion. But then, thanks to high-tax, leftwing policies like those of Andrew Cuomo, between 2000 and 2010, about one-and-a-half-million people already moved out of New York, taking their unapproved political views and their taxable income with them. Let’s hope they found a new state that’s less liberal and more tolerant.

I am somewhat glad to know that Cuomo wants pro-life, pro-Second Amendment, and pro-marriage people like me out of New York. I pay a lot of taxes in both the state of New York and New York City because I do my Fox show from there. I'm sure both the left wing Governor and socialist Mayor are embarrassed to be taking money from someone like me who they despise. My presence there provides jobs for a number of people, but I don't live there and actually come only in order to tape my Fox show. I'll look forward to getting an exemption from paying the ridiculous high taxes in New York state and New York City since my "kind" and my money are surely not something that's welcome in the Empire State. Why any company on earth would domicile in New York City with it's animosity toward business is beyond me.

Could Southern States Benefit From Cuomo’s Hatred Of Conservatives?

January 21, 2014 by Sam Rolley

New York’s Democratic Governor Andrew Cuomo said during a radio spot last week that “extreme conservatives, who are right-to-life, pro-assault weapon, anti-gay… have no place in the state of New York.” The Governor complains that his comment was about politicians, not residents, and is being taken out of context— but some New York conservatives are already expressing that they don’t want to live in a State so unwelcoming to their values.
Conservative pundit and native New Yorker Sean Hannity has already publically announced that he plans to heed Cuomo’s admonition and take his conservatism elsewhere.
Hannity told his audience that he plans to head down South to either Texas or Florida.
“Now I want to tell you something – I was born and raised in New York,” Hannity said. “I want you to know that and I can’t wait to get out of here. I really can’t. I don’t want to pay their 10-percent state tax anymore. I live in the second-highest property taxed county in the entire country in Nassau County. I can’t wait to sell my house to somebody who wants it. I can’t wait to pay no state income tax down in Florida or Texas. I haven’t decided yet, but I’m leaning Florida because I like the water and I like to fish.”
Hannity will be following the lead of other conservative pundits like Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck who have left New York, along with the money and employment opportunities that surround their media companies. Limbaugh currently produces his show from Florida; Beck headed to Texas.
“Governor Cuomo, I’m going to leave and I’m taking all of my money with me – every single solitary penny,” he added. “And by the way governor, because I work here – there’s a whole bunch of people that work for me and benefit because I do two shows. And I guess maybe some of them will be out of work, governor. I’m sure you’ll take care of them.”
For other disenfranchised conservatives in the Empire State looking for a place to relocate, Alabama Governor Robert Bentley is rolling out the red carpet.
“In Alabama we strongly support and uphold our great U.S. Constitution on which our nation and our states were founded,” Bentley told Yellowhammer. “The Constitution serves to protect individual Freedoms. Among them are those guaranteed in the Second Amendment, which protects the right of the people to keep and bear Arms. We will protect the Freedoms of individuals and welcome any one or any company to Alabama to discover as so many have, that we are a pro-business state filled with good, hardworking people.”

Watch Glenn Beck’s Takedown of NY Gov. Cuomo – Plus, He Tells Megyn Kelly His Biggest Regret From His Time at Fox News

Jan. 21, 2014 10:59pm Jason Howerton

Video at the Page Link:

Appearing on “The Kelly File” Tuesday, Glenn Beck continued to rip New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo over divisive remarks he made about “extreme” conservatives having no place in the Empire State.
Beck, who recently penned an open letter to the New York governor, argued Cuomo is attempting to assert a certain position in his state, which continues to move to the far-left. He said there is a “hostile takeover” by the radical left in New York, with progressive Bill de Blasio taking the reins in New York City.
“It’s a position that’s going to leave him in the dust bin of history,” he told host Megyn Kelly. “He says he’s talking about politicians, but, OK. If we can’t have politicians who stand up for the Constitution, stand up because they have the point of view that you have the right to life as an unborn child. … Those two, in particular, those are essential for us to argue about and have debate about, especially in politics.”

Fox News

As Americans, Beck continued, we need to decide if we can live alongside people who have different points of view. “If we can’t,” he added, “we’ve seen that road in the 20th century over and over again, and it doesn’t end well.”
Beck even went as far as to say Cuomo sounds an awful lot like the former governor of Alabama who told people who wanted to march with Martin Luther King Jr. and ride on the “Freedom Bus” to get out of town.
“Where would the disenfranchised of the world in history be if we didn’t have that pushback?” he asked.
Watch the latest video at http://video.foxnews.com Later in the segment, Kelly asked Beck to reflect on his time as a TV host at Fox News. His answer may surprise some people.
Though he remembers the job being a lot of fun, Beck also revealed that he has some regrets about the way he handled himself on the air.
“I remember it as an awful lot of fun and that I made an awful lot of mistakes, and I wish I could go back and be more uniting in my language,” he said. “I think I played a role, unfortunately, in helping tear the country apart.”
“I didn’t realize how really fragile the people were, I thought we were kind of more in it together,” he added. “Now I look back and I realize if we could have talked about the uniting principles a little more instead of the problems, I think I would look back on it a little more fondly. But that’s only my role.”

Texas Strikes Back at New York

Posted By The Common Constitutionalist on Jan 21, 2014 in Articles, Politics | 35 Comments

http://cdn.freedomoutpost.com/wp-con...omo_605_ap.jpg

By now everyone, at least the geeks that follow this stuff (like you and me), have heard New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s recent speech regarding the few conservatives that may still reside in his state.
For those who haven’t, here’s a quick recap: The governor stated that, “There is a schism in the Republican Party. They’re searching to define their soul… Who are they? Right to life, pro-assault weapons, anti-gay – if that’s who they are, they have no place in the state of New York because that’s not who New Yorkers are.”
Now that sounds reasonable, don’t you think? It sure is nice to see the lefts tolerance and acceptance of others viewpoints and beliefs on display.
Now rumor is that Rick Perry, governor of Texas is preparing a speech to counter Cuomo’s remarks. As luck would have it, I have obtained a draft copy of said speech. Let me reveal it to you now.

“Conservatives, unlike liberals, are freethinkers and thus have varying opinions on many subjects. Normally we conservatives do not march in lockstep – but I, as the duly elected speechifier (got that word from “W”) do decree the following to all who reside in the state of Texas.”

“From here on, Texas will be an abortion free state. Anyone who wishes to have an abortion will be free to leave the state and will be denied entry if they choose to return. They are not welcome here.”

“Borrowing from the Swiss, every adult citizen of Texas will be issued an assault weapon and is required to keep it in good working order and present that weapon to authorities once a year for inspection. If you refuse the weapon, you will be removed from your home and deported to New York State. You will be denied entry if you choose to return. You have no place in Texas.”

“Borrowing from Russia, Texas will be a homosexual free state. If one is found to be homosexual, lesbian, bisexual, transgendered, multi-gendered, semi-gendered or any combination, you’ll be deported to New York State. You have no place in Texas.”

“Any citizen of Texas who is found to have voted for Barack Obama will be deported to New York State. You have no place in Texas because that’s not what Texans are.”

“Furthermore, any liberal who can no longer take the oppressive taxes, overregulation and political correctness gone wild of another state will be granted asylum in Texas. They must relinquish their right to vote in any state or local election for a period of five years. At the five-year mark, they will be given a test to judge their competency and make sure they have been deprogrammed.”

Now anyone who actually believes that a word of the previous Perry pronouncements are real needs to have their heads examined!

Of course, I made them up, and did so, as Rush says, to “demonstrate absurdity by being absurd.”
Anyone who would say such things, as Goveronor Cuomo did, should be run out of town on a rail.
In a just and civil society that’s what should happen to the not so “esteemed” Governor Cuomo.
Does the phrase “recall petition” strike a chord? It should!

Shame on you New York and anyone who voted for the demagogue Andrew Cuomo.

Gov. Cuomo Furiously Backpedals on Comments Saying Pro-Lifers Don't Belong in NY

http://media.townhall.com/Townhall//.../rousselle.gif Christine Rousselle | Jan 21, 2014

http://media.townhall.com/townhall/r...OPTP_3_USA.JPG

Following Gov. Andrew Cuomo's comments on a radio show suggesting that conservative, pro-life people have no place in New York, the governor's office has morphed into damage control mode, releasing a statement saying that it's "fine" to be pro-life in the state.
The full text of the statement:

The New York Post distorted Governor Cuomo’s words yesterday, saying that the Governor said "conservatives should leave New York." The Governor did not say that, nor does he believe that.
If you read the transcript (below), it is clear that the Governor was making the observation that an extreme right candidate cannot win statewide because this is a politically moderate state (either moderate Republican or moderate Democratic).
In the same response, the Governor went on to say "it is fine" to be anti-gun control, and anti-choice” – as he respects both positions.
The Post can allow any person they want to publish in their paper but if they are to retain any credibility they cannot be entirely reckless with facts and the truth.

Cuomo's remarks were widely criticized.
Let's hope that Cuomo chooses his words a little better the next time he has to give a speech.

Slander? Depends Who Says It

http://media.townhall.com/Townhall//ColPics/Charen.jpg Mona Charen | Jan 21, 2014

http://media.townhall.com/townhall/r...OPTP_3_USA.JPG

Everyone knows by now that the governor (and possible presidential contender) can be a hothead. Some have called him a bully. Even if you think that's too strong, it's undeniable that a trace of bellicosity has been important to what the professionals like to call his "brand."
Still, he shouldn't have said what he did in that radio interview. However strongly he may feel about those who disagree, and certainly he has his reasons for feeling aggrieved, he shouldn't have said that his opponents "have no place" in his state. It's understandable, considering the intemperance and intolerance he demonstrated, why the press is going wild with this story.
What? Did you miss it? That's because it wasn't possible presidential candidate and Republican Gov. Chris Christie of New Jersey who said those things about his opposite numbers, it was possible presidential candidate and Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo of New York. Speaking on WCNY radio, Cuomo told listeners that Republicans are in the midst of a civil war:
"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 if they are the extreme conservatives, they have no place in the state of New York, because that's not who New Yorkers are."
Naturally, there has been no outcry in the press. With the exception of the vigilant Kathryn J. Lopez of National Review and a few other "extremists," the interview had all the impact of a feather floating onto a blade of grass.
Let's put the equivalent words into the mouth of Christie. To do so, we must mischaracterize the Democrats' views as Cuomo was caricaturing Republican views. "Pro-assault weapon"? Few second amendment defenders see themselves as pro-assault weapon. The term "assault weapon" is inexact -- and can sometimes amount to a matter of cosmetics, not ballistics. In any case, people who resist gun control have solid arguments and can be found in all counties of the state of New York. Those who believe that the right to bear arms is a personal right that cannot be unduly infringed by the state also form a majority of the members of the United States Supreme Court. Are they not welcome in the state of New York?
As for "anti-gay," it isn't clear how Cuomo would define the term, but he is presumably referring to people who oppose same-sex marriage. Again, people who believe that a traditional understanding of marriage is a key pillar of family and social life would not characterize themselves as "anti-gay." They would observe, for example, that they had also opposed liberalizing the divorce laws (New York was a "pioneer" in that, too), and opposed the normalization of unwed parenting. According to a 2012 Quinnipiac poll, "extremists" opposing same-sex marriage still comprise about a third of New York State's population. Are they "not who New Yorkers are"?
Cuomo has grouped those who call themselves "pro-life" together with other "extremists." That's 48 percent of the U.S. population, according to a 2013 Gallup poll, and includes 31 percent of self-described Democrats, along with 46 percent of women and 51 percent of non-whites. Are they unwelcome extremists?
People who call themselves pro-life do so because they believe that every human life, at every stage, is deserving of honor and human dignity. They hold this view though they know it to be unfashionable. Fifty-one percent of those surveyed told Gallup that they believed most Americans are pro-choice, while the actual number who describe themselves that way was only 45 percent.
If Christie were to use comparable language about Democrats, he'd probably have to describe them as "pro-criminal, gun-confiscating, anti-Catholic bigots": "Pro-criminal" because some Democrats have been opposed to the death penalty; "gun-confiscating" because some Democrats have proposed gun-control measures; and "anti-Catholic bigots" because the Democratic party is responsible for Obamacare, which forces Catholic institutions and individuals to violate their religious beliefs.
Obviously, such careless and inflammatory language from the governor of a state -- all the more so when he is being mentioned as a candidate for president -- would provoke a shrieking nervous breakdown by every on-air personality at MSNBC. The cacophony would be only slightly less pronounced on other outlets.
Conservatives are accustomed to slander. But in this case, they should learn from the professional offense-takers on the other side and demand that Cuomo apologize.

Andrew Cuomo: Segregationist

Get out of New York!
That’s the message Empire State Governor Andrew Cuomo is sending to pro-life, pro-gun, pro-traditional marriage conservatives.
The Albany Times-Union first highlighted remarks the governor made during an interview with Susan Arbetter on “The Capitol Pressroom.” He was talking about a division within the state’s Republican Party and compared it to what’s happening in Washington, D.C.
“It’s a mirror of what’s going on in Washington,” he said. “The gridlock in Washington is less about Democrats and Republicans. It’s more about extreme Republicans versus moderate Republicans.”
And then he told “extreme” Republicans where to go.
“Who are they?” the governor asked. “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.”
Take that in for just a moment. New York’s Democratic governor believes people who are pro-life are extremists. Extremists.
Donald Trump? Not welcome. Cardinal Dolan -- you're outta here, pal. Cuomo just can’t have those kind of people living on the streets of New York City.
When did Governor Cuomo become Bull Connor -- trying to politically segregate the state?
What's he going to do next, unleash the dogs and turn the hoses on conservative boys and girls?
Even yours truly, could be forced find a new place to live. I live among the intolerant liberal people of Brooklyn. I'm also a card-carrying member of the National Rifle Association and an evangelical Christian.
It's only a matter of time before the governor's foot soldiers knock on my door and give this gun-toting, Bible-clinging, son-of-a-Baptist the heave ho.
That’s fine by me. I don’t want to live in a state where I’m not wanted. Besides, if my political views are too extreme for Governor Cuomo, my tax dollars must be, too.
It seems the road to tolerance and diversity is a one-way street heading due west -- across the state line. As they say, the grass is always greener on the other side. Come to think of it, they do call New Jersey the Garden State.
I just hope my U-Haul doesn’t get stuck in traffic on the George Washington Bridge.

Cuomo can kiss my Conservative extremity…

America’s cities may have pretty skylines, but big cities are armpits.

Sure there are some sight-seers’ trappings in the Big Apple — like Broadway, the Empire State building, and so on. However those famous sights are only for the Chamber of Commerce to brag about and to attract capitalists’ money.

Leave downtown [insert armpit here], and you are in the underbelly of evil, where your life expectancy drops dramatically.

You’re not going to see Brady, TX on the list of 25 most dangerous cities or neighborhoods any time soon.

How often do you hear about crime in rural areas? Outside of somebody’s car being vandalized or a mailbox smashed by rowdy teens, rural America is mostly cow-tipping and the occasional meth lab. Rural America is like living in a church, compared to America’s big cities.

But Conservative-loathing Democrat, New York Governor Cuomo, wants no part of Bible-thumping, gun-toting, America-loving, military-supporting, independent-thinking, hard-working, tax-paying extreme Conservatives.

We are a scourge on society, according to Cuomo, the ruination of America.

Cuomo prefers Liberal intelligentsia; the ones who live conservative lives privately. Those who put their kids in private school, and get their concealed weapons permits through high-power government officials, aka the hypocrites.

And Cuomo also prefers the high-crime-creating, no-tax-paying, lower class deadbeats who vote for him, because they are easily led.

It’s not Conservatives filling the jails in these urban indoctrination centers, it’s the “easily led.” And it’s not Conservatives passing laws that punish the poor in these cities.

Liberal voters in these metropolises complain about Republicans in Congress, however their real problem is their local Liberal gangsters.

New York state is phenomenal, and chock full of Conservatives. But New York state suffers at the hands of New York City: the tail wags the dog.

The Mayor of New York City is more powerful than the governor of New York. That’s why Cuomo is content to denigrate the great state of New York, most of whom are Conservatives. Cuomo caters to New York City, because he know where there is corruption, you will find the power.

Cities are run by Liberal mobs, and Liberals know it.

“The Chicago Way” happens in cities all over this country, and should be called “The Liberal Way.” New York is no different. The very people Cuomo derided in his comments represent his tax base in New York, and are the state’s most productive and law-abiding citizens. Yet Cuomo wants them gone.

Supporting life is extreme? Wanting to protect oneself with a gun is extreme? Cuomo has described “extreme Conservatism,” but what is “extreme Liberalism.”

I bet you will find ALL governors are against extreme Liberalism, whether they admit it or not.

Without extreme Liberalism, we would need fewer cops, since the crime rate would drop to almost nothing. Yes, Liberals commit the most crime. And with less crime, America could get rid of lots of prisons.

Without extreme Liberalism the graduation rates for high school would be in the 98 percentile, and we would have the smartest college graduates in the world. And those college grads would have jobs. Their jobs would be at corporations focused on quality products, not diversity of employees, because last time I checked, corporations were not in the business of social engineering.

Without extreme Liberalism, cities would be able to pay their bills, and the family and the church would become the centerpieces for society’s charity, not government.

Without extreme Liberalism, America would be racially tolerant, because Conservatives don’t care about race; we care about character.

So yes, I for one am all for ridding America of extreme Liberalism, and I say let’s begin with Cuomo.

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo Tells Conservatives to Leave State

Tuesday, January 21, 2014 by: Gary DeMar

http://images.conservativecontacts.c...ripac/8783.jpg New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo says pro-life, pro-Second Amendment, and anti-homosexual marriage advocates should leave the state. He calls such Americans "extreme conservatives." If you live in New York and hold any of these views, this is what your governor thinks of you -- "they have no place in the state of New York, because that's not who New Yorkers are."

None of this should surprise us since New York City just elected a Marxist mayor. Day by day, Anthony Weiner is looking like the better choice. Well, it's certainly what some of New Yorkers are as well as millions of Americans across the United States.

Cuomo says he's a practicing Catholic. He attends church with his live-in girlfriend, supports abortion on demand, and pushed for the legalization of homosexual marriage. Where is the priest of his parish? Where is the Bishop of his diocese?

DE BLASIO BACKS CUOMO: WANTS CONSERVATIVES TO GET OUT

http://cdn.breitbart.com/mediaserver...sioCuomoAP.jpg

by KERRY PICKET 23 Jan 2014 3513 POST A COMMENT
http://cdn.breitbart.com/mediaserver...00-kpicket.pngNew 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 Hannityvowing 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."
De Blasio conceded that “we all understand there’s a right to free speech. I wouldn’t disagree with that right and neither would Governor Cuomo.”
But exercising that free speech could put you on the wrong side of New York “values,” de Blasio maintained. “I think he’s saying that the attitude of those who want to continue the status quo on guns or want to challenge and deny the right to choose does not reflect the values of New Yorkers. He was absolutely right to say what he said,” de Blasio stated.
When asked by a reporter if he does not feel the need to reach out to those who disagree with him and would rather others share his values instead, de Blasio responded, “The first point is, we represent our people and Governor Cuomo is right and I believe I’m on firm ground in saying our people, the people in New York State and the people of New York City reject extremists views against a women’s right to choose and in favor of the proliferation of guns in our society. And I stand by that 100 percent.”
De Blasio is under fire in New York for the city's disastrous response to the recent snow storm, which prompted questions about why he was in front of the television cameras in D.C. instead of working to fix the roads back home. De Blasio admitted Wednesday "more could have been done."

It’s Official: Sean Hannity is Moving from New York

May 16, 2014
By Matthew Burke

http://www.tpnn.com/wp-content/uploa...an.Hannity.jpg
Sean Hannity is making good on his promise to leave the over-taxed, over-regulated State of New York.

Following comments in January made by Progressive Democrat NY Governor Andrew Cuomo, a key player in causing the housing bubble and subsequent bust and nicknamed the “Father of the Subprime Crisis,” in which he said that people with different political beliefs than him, namely conservatives, had “no place in the State of New York.”

Shortly following Cuomo’s intolerant and mean-spirited rant, Hannity, who hosts the popular TV program on FOX News by the same name as well as one of the most popular radio shows in the nation, threatened to move to a different state where he’d feel more welcome and preferably a state without a state income tax. The states Hannity mentioned as possible targets of his relocation were Florida and Texas.

Now it’s official. Sean Hannity is moving to Florida, will have a ranch in Texas, and has listed his Long Island home for sale for $3.6 million.

On Wednesday, Hannity was interviewing Senator Marco Rubio from Florida and made the announcement:

“You’re soon going to be my senator,” Hannity told Rubio.

“Is that final?” Rubio inquisitively asked.

“I’m going to Florida, and I’m going to get a little Texas ranch,” Hannity said. “I’ve decided I’m leaving New York when my kid graduates high school.”

“Well, that’s a great choice, then. We’re glad to have you in Florida,” Rubio responded, sounding much friendlier than the caustic New York governor.
