I tell you, I’ve never seen a politician so hated by the people as this guy Bloomberg, and oddly enough they all take it. No protests or nothing. I don’t know how the rest of the country feels about him, but without a doubt if he were President pulling this crap there would be riots in the street.

New Yorkers for some reason put up with abuse. One theory my brother came up with is because everybody in the city is too busy working to do anything else which is pretty true. 8 hours days at work just doesn’t exist unless your rich. Everybody I know puts in at least 12. When I was unemployed a few years ago I use to put in 24 hour days driving a taxi which was freakin nuts. I would work 12, sleep a couple hours then do another shift - rinse repeat 7 days a week. I was in debt up to my butt and had no choice, and I tell you what ticked me off more than anything was how that SOB did everything in his power to make my life a living hell. Tickets tickets tickets tickets tickets constantly constantly. Pick someone up - ticket. Drop someone off - ticket. All the time, and that’s because of the ticket quota.

They would give me tickets for “blocking a traffic lane” while dropping or picking someone up, oh and the best...Pulling to the side of the street to drop someone off and the cops putting a ticket in my windshield for “parking at an expired meter”. My lawyer was Lauren Z. Asher, one of the best traffic lawyers in NYC who would almost always get them dismissed which must have cost a lot of cops their vacation days.

I had one cop once give me 10 points worth of tickets all in one shot: improper turn, illegal turn, no signal, improper lane change, and she got them ALL dismissed. And it was an NYPD Sergeant who gave me those if you believe it! They had a freakin’ Sergeant out there harassing taxi drivers! And what’s funny is I never got a single ticket for working more than 12 hours in a 24 hour period. That’s because the city knew what was going on, they know a LOT of drivers put in 24 hour days but they want those drivers out there making as much money as possible so they can steal it or attempt to steal it.

What you've experienced is galling..disgusting. I guess the question to ask New Yorkers is, how much is it worth to you to keep your freedom, your liberty? At some point, you men and womem must decide that, work responsibilities aside, you must make an effort, you must make time to join forces with like-minded people who want to take this country back, city by city. Join up with the www.nra.org, www.oathkeepers.org, to name but a few. These organizations will give you the opportunity to meet up with others and share ideas and plans in confidence. In particular, Oathkeepers has a system that makes this possible to do just that..check them out; it is open to men and women, active and retired military, police officers, firemen/women, ANYONE who wants to take this county BACK. It will take sacrifice and families must be made to understand this. You will need people in the polling places and boots on the ground. The vote and your active presence where it is needed (i.e. the Albany rally is an example) is vital.

We have to beome the freedom fighters of THIS war that we are in. We must resist, delay, obstruct and sabotage in what ever way we can to delay oboma in his push to destroy US, until we rid ourselves of him. That means we must prioritize in terms of what is most important to us at this time in our life...New Yorkers can either keep their heads down, take the crap that Bloomturd the Nazi dishes out and do nothing, or they can MAKE the time to join up and join forces with others who feel as they do. The choice is up to them, and to us all, for that matter. I'm so glad to hear you don't live in that hell hole any longer. The fight is definitely up to New Yorkers...let's see if they ultimately prefer to live as drones and slaves to socialism, or if at some point they will have had enough and stand up and fight.
