Cuomo Backtracks: 'It Is Fine' to Be Anti-Gun Control, Anti-Choice
weekly standard ^ | DANIEL HALPER

Posted on 01/21/2014 7:44:53 AM PST by Morgana

New York governor Andrew Cuomo came under fire for criticizing pro-life and pro-Second Amendment citizens of his state -- and saying "that is not who New Yorkers are."

Their problem is not me and 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 is who they are, and if they are the extreme conservatives, they have no place in the state of New York. Because that is not who New Yorkers are.

Now his office is backtracking and insisting that the governor said "'it is fine' to be anti-gun control, and anti-choice – as he respects both positions."

And they're attacking the New York Post for highlighting Cuomo's extreme comments. "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."

If you had to pick an absolute loser of a guy to go national (besides Christie).....this is the guy

That's why 2016 will be Cuomo vs. Christie.

Power is lying on the ground - who will pick it up?

Given enough time in power, the left will silence you. Tolerance is not one of the left’s virtues, (if they have any at all).

Cuomo said there would be no place in New York. Do you think he and his fellow Marxists would be content merely with forced removal from New York? No! Marxists want us eliminated from the nation and the entire world.

Cuomo **is** telling us what he wants: EXTERMINATION of conservatives and Christians.

You can tell he was sincere when he referred to Pro-Lifers as “anti-choice”.

That’ll smooth things over.

I do not need Cuomo to interpret for me what he said.

Cuomo meant exactly what he said. Progressives and Liberals think exactly this way, they want conservatives and pro-lifer's our of their states and out of the country. They will use concentration camps and worse if given the chance to do it.

Mr Cuomo had a “oh, I wasn’t supposed to say that out loud, was I?” moment.

The deepest desire of any liberal, and especially those that seek the power to do so, is

to use the power of the State to punish, humiliate, and finally exterminate anyone that opposes them.

Let me help you with that, Andrew. You see, you are the Governor of NY State. These conservatives, though they didn’t vote for you (and probably think you are a jerk), are your constituents if they live in NY state. It’s Civics 101, you see?

As Governor you are here to serve them, just as you would your more liberal citizens, by upholding the laws & constitution of the State of NY. If you find yourself incapable of doing that I suggest you resign.

The state of New York has an "illegitimate" First Lady, the blond celebrity cooking show hostess, Sandra Lee.

She is Governor Andrew Cuomo's live-in mistress. She was at his side with a kiss when he was sworn in. She marched alongside of him in NYC's gay pride parade.

Conservative groups are beginning to question the expenses and perks she gets as his "domestic partner"....i.e., to what extent (and why) are taxpayers paying for her living expenses, plane travel, etc. seeing they are in a non-legal union.

It's interesting that Cuomo spouts off on evil pro-lifers, murderous gun-owners and bigoted "anti-gays" when he himself is in a relationship not sanctioned by his Church, nor any other Christian religion...and which used to be called "living in sin".....and which relationship is most certainly using taxpayers' dollars under false pretenses for cushy living.

He should look in the mirror when he aims derogatory invectives at good folks he considers not fit to live in New York...invectives which rightly should be directed at himself and at his own questionable values, standards and morals.

Obama: “You lost. Elections have consequences. Get to the back of the bus.”

Sebelius (when asked about people who question her competence): “I don’t work for them”

Hillary: (on her role in the Benghazi deaths): “What difference does it make?”

Pelosi (to the American people): “you find out what’s in the bill after we pass it”

Cuomo: Pro-life conservatives “have no place in the State of New York.”

For a Governor to say such a thing...

I think Cuomo’s statement may be the most heinous of all.

That's why 2016 will be Cuomo and Christie.

That's the Republican ticket; the Democrat is Hillary Clinton and Michelle Obama.

Cuomos was one of those most responsible for the '08 crash. He pushed bankers to issue subprimes up to 50% of the Fannie Mae ownership. He forced taxpayers to be on the hook for millions of toxic mortgages.

For the rest of his life he will be running to hide his garbage. I sincerely hope someone catches up to him.

If we are now called “anti-choice” does that mean that it is now okay to call them “anti-life”?

Cuomo and Francois Hollande, President of France have something in common, although Francois just kicked his live-in mistress Valerie out of the palace. She’s been demoted as Francois was already cheating and is onto his next affair. Wonder if all Valerie’s “perks” will now disappear. It’s so nice to know we have a New York governor who acts just like the French. Ooh, la la.
