Perhaps the next time New York is attacked, we will remember thar they are not really Americans.
New York and Washington were attacked, and guess who bailed out on the war on terror first.
Good. Then he won’t be mad when the US says FU when they come begging for money.
I’m all for splitting America up.
About 30 years ago, I was having a conversation with a group of Parisians, while we were vacationing in Martinique. They denied that they hate Americans, just New Yorkers, whom they viewed as being UN-cultured and pushy and rude.
Other Americans, such as Pennsylvanians, they viewed as being polite and cultured. (I’m a Pennsylvanian.:)
This may come as a shock to New Yorkers, who think themselves so cultured and cosmopolitan, that even the French don’t like them.
Most of the NYC arrogance is limited to the tiniest of the 5 boroughs,Manhattan.Come to Staten Island,where we just elected a Republican Congressman.
NY had best take care of themselves... America will never again respond for her like we did... california... much the same.

‘Indeed, one thing I don’t quite understand is why do most Christians, who are from Middle America, send their kids to secular public schools instead of creating their own religious schools like the Jews and the Catholics?’
The reason for this is simple. For most of US history the public schools were public, but not secular. They deliberately promoted a sort of generalized high church Protestantism. When I graduated high school 50 years ago, students in NY still recited a state written prayer every day. If you were Jewish or Catholic or low church Protestant and could raise the money, you built schools for your coreligionists.
Starting in the 1960’s the federal courts totally removed observances of religious faith from the public schools, leaving high church non-wealthy Protestants with no schools teaching religious ideas. At the same time the education departments produced unchurched new teachers.
The result is a public school system without prayers, but with drugs, sexual activity starting in elementary schools, and a student body without respect for their country, their teachers, or themselves.
“That New Yorkers view the rest of America with contempt is no secret”.
The feeling is mutual, only they are too stupid and insular to see it.
NY will see it when she is in flames and calling out for help... we will laugh and remind them that rubes have nothing to help them with. NY can FOAD as far as I am concerned... I have been there several times on business. I met a handful of nice people and millions of arseholes.

Oh, please. there is much human detritus per square foot in NYC as in any other place on earth. The idea that even a significant minority of NYers are glamorous Carrie bradshaws is a joke.
“In fact, for such a cosmopolitan city, it’s astonishing how parochial people are.”
You betcha!
*former NY’er and glad to be a citizen of the USA.
In NYC, there is no other world. It’s like living in an insulated grocery bag.
I’ve been in both worlds.
I’ll take the genuine, authentic, friendly, caring ‘uneducated’ backwoods hicks over a bunch of soulless, smug, arrogant stuffed shirts any day of the week, thank-you.
Well bless your heart.
UC Berkeley was originally started because the locals wanted a more conservative university than was offered at the time.
Too bad Berkeley transformed away from the original intent!
Born and bred in NYC, after I retired I moved to America.
I have actually lived in Ohio.
The author is a moron.
(the Left) They have deliberately and quite successfully taken over our media, that needs to be shattered.
Bi-coastal leftists so need competition. Real competition. Competition which can put them out of business, competition.
Yes but what is lacking here and is desperately needed is an alternative conservative news organization for Hispanic immigrants.
Right now the Left has a true monopoly on Spanish language news in this country. That is a gap the Right can not afford with the Hispanic population growing faster than any other segment of the population.
The Left also has the corner on African-American entertainment. It would be a good idea for conservatives to try and break in to that market.
Sounds like very good traditions. Such traditions will help to build strong family and community ties.
