There is NO question in my mind Cuomo would set up roadblocks on New York's highways if he ever heard I was going to be moving in!

Thanks to liberal twits like Cuomo, maybe New York could be renamed "East California"?

I have also wondered why most of the original 13 Colonies now are so diametrically opposed to the original intent of the documents they drafted which set up our Republic based on individual liberty, limited government and the rule of law? While the establishment of the United States was a great leap forward in regards to citizens and their government, the liberals have been back-peddling ever since towards tyranny and government control of lives.

Time to re-fill my coffee. Have a great day all!


Cuomo seemed happy to inflame tensions" Isn't that what politicians do? Are both Republican and Democrats happy to inflame tensions?

No question? That is pretty closed minded way to begin a sentence. Do you really think you are on Cuomo's radar at all? If Cuomo set up road blocks for political reasons, would that make both Christi and Cuomo wrong or would that make both of them right?

I didn't know the 13 colonies were (diametrically ?) opposed to the original intent our constitution. Isn't "original intent" a matter of interpretation? Isn't that why we have courts? Do people in the original 13 really oppose individual liberty or the rule of law? I think we all want our government to be big enough to do what we want it to do, but not so big as to be wasteful or to interfere with individual liberty no more than necessary. Who defines necessary, liberty ideal size of government, original intent. A modern liberal democracy is not neat and efficient, but it works for me. I think we are most effective in negotiating what works for the most of us when we don't get too far off specifics. When we say, extremist, we are not usually referring to someone with whom we agree. Would you agree that Michelle Bachman is an extremist? Who in the Democratic party would you label as an extremist? I think some of independence we need to give up to make other parts work, drive on the right side of the street, don't urinate in streams, don't litter, don't beat your children, etc. Would you agree?

I think small government is a slogan that has come to mean, I don't want to spend money on "those" peoples things. Unnecessary ships for the Navy that employ people in my district makes the facility necessary and I vote for it. There is extreme poverty in my district and I vote for food stamp programs that I deem necessary. Our representatives get together and agree I will support your unnecessary ship building if you support my unnecessary food stamp program. The voters are now happy and vote for their reps, and decry "big government." Some thoughts.

I was in my local hardware store and a blind man was selling chocolates for his fundraiser. He was quite adept at showing his wares and accurately described what each box was and the prices for each. When I paid for my candy I gave him a ten dollar bill and 2 one dollar bills. He then had to ask me which bill was a ten and he put it in the proper spot in his envelope. Most people would think it taboo to c***t a blind person but would it not be fair and politicialy correct if the federal reserve had paper money printed with Braille so that Blind American citizens can identify them and participate in monetary exchanges without relying on the honesty of others to tell them what bills they have presented.

Rather than take the homosexual activists at face value, perhaps you should do some reading. May I suggest that you start with " My Genes Made Me Do IT" a scientific look at sexual orientation, which presents logical arguments why homosexuality is not genetic. From there go to "Sexual Sabotage" by Dr. Resiman, which shows the fraud involved in Kinsey and the group of p*******es he used to obtain his "research" data. Then go to "From Crayons to Condoms" and learn about the influence of homosexual propaganda in public education. It is amazing how 2% of the population (not 10%) can do so much to change people's minds, but as Hitler said "Tell a big lie enough times, and people will believe it"

“They’re searching to define their soul,” Cuomo told host Susan Arbetter. “Is the Republican Party in this state a moderate party or is it an extreme conservative party. That is what they are trying to figure out.”

Cuomo seemed happy to inflame those tensions, noting more than once that it was moderate Republicans in the Senate who helped him approve an agenda that included gun control and gay marriage.

“Who are they?” Cuomo said about the Republicans. “Are they these extreme conservative, 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. If they are moderate Republicans, like in the Senate right now, who control the Senate - moderate Republicans have a place in this state.”

Conservatives are now "extremists."

Gays keep saying that they want to come out and be accepted as normal. Normal folks don't declare their sexual orientation every five minutes and then look for someone to disagree with. You, in your own mind, have to accept the fact that not everyone agrees with you. Mostly, we just want you to be who or what you are and get on with your life.

Don't condemn me if I don't agree with your life style. Don't condemn me if I don't want to bake you a wedding cake. Don't want my children to be where you are, in short don't condemn me for being who I am. I am no more wrong in my mind, than you are in yours.

What exactly is the point of this post? War is terrible. In any war there are going to be innocent civilians men, women, and children that are injured or k**led. The underlying causes of war are always questionable. Almost all governments are headed by leaders who have an agenda.

I have very little doubt that many of the "reasons" to go to war are exaggerated or just made up. One has to look at the actual underlining cause of the leader or leaders desire to go to war. In every case, someone or some country are some people's will reap benefits of every war.

It would be wonderful if all governments were benevolent and peaceful. That is a utopian dream that has never been a fact during the history of mankind. Humans are aggressive, humans are envious of other humans, most governments are aggressive, most governments want what other governments have. That is the way of the world. It is not pretty and we wish it were not so but it is.

This video depicts the violence and the terrible loss that innocents endure in wars. There is no argument that wars are tragic and there is no argument that a small number of people and companies will benefit from the human tragedy that is in evitable in war.

With all of that being said the fact the matter is that all of the American citizens benefit from wars. The United States government is protecting our way of life. I am not going to write a dissertation about the underlying reasons for every conflict United States has been in. But I think you'll find that there was usually an attack on American holdings or American interests in each of the wars the United States became involved. It is almost always because of economics.

This film depicts the United States as aggressors in each of these conflicts; that is an exaggeration. United States will protect its economic interest around the world. Why did the United States, for example, get into World War II? Was it because of the bombing of Pearl Harbor? Maybe, but it was more likely because of the economics associated with Japan aligning itself with Germany who was a threat to the world and had attacked our closest ally Britain. We blockaded Japan to hurt them economically which is what cause Japan to attack Pearl Harbor. Pearl Harbor was the excuse that Roosevelt needed to get involved in the war. ECONOMICS.

As a said I don't want to do a dissertation about all the wars but you could do research and you would find that every war had do with economics.

One more thing, regardless of the reasons why the United States became involved in each of these conflicts, once involved we must win. If it involves using questionable ordinance which results in the deaths of innocent civilians, as terrible as it sounds, we should use wh**ever means are necessary to win. As a for instance, should we have used the nuclear bomb on Japan? I guess it depends on how much value you put on American lives of as compared to Japanese lives. As horrible as it was, using that bomb or bombs probably saved many thousands of American lives that would have been lost and the war d**gged out until the last Japanese soldier had been k**led. The Japanese proclaimed that they would fight until the last man was k**led. How long do you think that would've taken and how many American lives would have been lost.

Looks as though Ted Cruz is the only one with any guts to say what he think no matter the results. We need more like him who will voice their opinion instead of waiting for others to do it for them. This is the very reason Obama has taken the power he has is cause no one will rebuff him in any way....

Oreilly thinks he will ask him HARD questions in his interview... little does he know, Obama will just keep talking and talking and talking about NOTHING to k**l time ... since they are allowed probably 10 minutes... Oreilly thinks he will get him to talk.. but he's in for ANOTHER rude awakening.. he will do him the same way he did the last time Oreilly got an interview with him... he will just keep talking and talking .....

Common sense went out the window! Really???
No v***r f***d came in the front door and the MSM sat on their thumb and never, never talked about it.

Too many places where obummer got 100%, 140% and some times 200% of registered v**es. How can you have a v****g area that has 100 registered v**ers and get 200 v**es for obummer and zero for Mitt except for fraud.

In Texas we had some v****g boxes turned in 12 hours AFTER the poles closed. They had to have enough time to fix the numbers which were overwhelming for obummer.

Black? I would v**e for Ben Carson and will for president, Allen West, hell yes but obummer? He will look great in a orange jump suit.

I think that would just be disagreeing. Unless you disagree with them because of their race. I know that most understand the difference between a disagreement and discrimination. I think that r****m, or seeing and wanting the opportunity to move past r****m, was more so the reason for Obama being elected as president. That and the fact that the last president almost turned us into a 3rd world country. People saw a more practical man with diversity in him. A person that, through world's perception, had to overcome a lot of adversity to become who he is. (We don't really know what he had to go through.) The people saw the most historical American story and wanted to be a part of it. Why would anyone not want to partake in it? Well that would then result back to the topic in discussion!!!

what is r****m? r****m is the act of discriminating against someone and also hindering the advancement of a person of another race economically politically and or socially.
in order to be r****t you must have power to hinder the advance of someone of another race up the social, economic, or political ladder.
r****m still exists in america today, however to all who are very sensitive to discriminatory remarks or actions, keep this in mind:
you are not r****t by simply being discriminatory!
if you discriminate against someone of another race, as long as you do not hinder the advance of the person's life, you are not r****t and are exercising your freedom of speech.
what do you think?
