I hate to tell em but all cities are going to mirror Detroit in the end.
Rudy had two accomplishments as mayor:
He got rid of the beggars at stop lights and he cleaned up Times Square.
He also screwed up by putting security high up in the WTC against all sound advice. He has since made a career out of saying he was the mayor when NYC was attacked. Congrats, Rudy. You are a real superstar.
stop N frisk is not a conservative thing, its a fascist thing
That's why Obama , and the UN is pushing for AGENDA 21!!
You are not a Noo Yawker or you would know better.
The irony is the crony-capitalist triangle of FED money-printing, Government debt and spending, and Wall Street are NY City’s only financial props now - and the thing that makes a home for NY’s leftists. They seem loathe to admit it.
I’m sorry to say that NY City needs to be taken down a few pegs. It used to be a diverse city - economically, politically, socially - but no longer.
NYC floats on debt and worthless paper
and it will sink
He was everywhere at once and spoke calm and comfort...not only to NYC but the whole country.
He's one of those leaders that God raised up at the right time IMO.
He is
yep.
of course, being a fascist thing, it suits the left just fine.
except that it catches too many of Holder's people, and that is strictly verboten in any self-respecting leftist paradise.
I don’t think Chicago has ever had a Mayor as bad as this Psycho ideologue De Blasio. This guy will be on the list of worst big city Mayors ever.
Good post yours. Giuliani is a genuine American hero.
Giuliani certainly has many faults. But on 9/11 he was out in front. Right out in front. He was not in a command bunker somewhere. It's worth repeating. Giuliani is a genuine American hero.
FReepmail me if you want on or off my New York ping list.
Maybe if you lived in Peoria or Boise it'd be fascist - but we're talking NYC here.
I have no problems with the police frisking gang-bangers and dope-dealers.
Has any big city ever “woke up” and “smelled the coffee”? As the late Jack Benny would have deadpanned, “I am thinking. ...” But Jack comes up empty-handed too.
I agree. Laws like this are a result of society not the other way around. Detroit has recently restarted the stop and frisk policy ended by Coleman Young many years ago.
Its kinda funny. This summer in Detroit I was introduced to an old black man walking down the street carrying a bag of groceries with an AR-15 slung across his back. Police came rolling by and slowed way down but they weren’t looking at the old man, they were checking me out because I was in a seriously black neighborhood.
The 20 billion dollar debt of Detroit is just a fraction of the debt held by NY or Chicago.
People say that other cities have taxpayers but the taxpayers will leave when paying down the debt becomes urgent and taxpayers are the ones who will be milked.
randomly frisking the average people walking by is a stupid policy though
impy dude:
I just got back from afternoon of doorbells in DEM precinct for MUNI election here in my DEM city in my DEM state.
People love us this year. The challenge slate.
Do I get a gold star, or do that wait until election night?
If only I spoke Polish, then I could get even more votes for my guys. Yep. Polka-town doorbells for me this month.
Jin-kuu-ya
