A liberal's crazy liberal

That grossly understates it.

Bill DeBlasio is a Communist.

He violated the ban on travel to Cuba for his honeymoon with his formerly gay wife...

He must be a hell of a man... or maybe not.

OK . . . when did the Big Apple turn right? It’s always been an experiment in big-government leftism, for centuries even.

We’re taking NYC all the way back to pre-1980s level. I’m betting NYC becomes uninhabitable in 10 years.

I’m growing less and less sympathetic to cities and city dwellers. It’s like choosing to live below an active volcano.

It’s 11:59 on Radio Free America; this is Uncle Sam, with music, and the truth until dawn. Right now I’ve got a few words for some of our brothers and sisters in the occupied zone: “the chair is against the wall, the chair is against the wall”, “john has a long mustache, john has a long mustache”. It’s twelve o’clock, America, another day closer to victory. And for all of you out there, on, or behind the line, this is your song.

Please! They turned left when Bloomberg the phony republican was elected, then when the council removed the two-term limit. They deserve everything they get. I won’t be visiting, probably ever.

Say hello to the Dinkin’s Days, New York...

You really do deserve what is coming, while all those “Evil Wall Street Millionaires!” the TV has told you to hate so much will be safe and comfy in the Connecticut or Upstate homes, you will be stuck in the hell you created, unable to walk down a street without fear.

How long until the Adult Bookstores and Movie Theaters begin popping up again in Times Square? I’m old enough to remember when open-air drug-dealing was the biggest market in that area.

“The new mayor of New York City is a Red Sox fan.”

Aha, there’s the problem right there. Anyone with sense was rooting for America’s team, the Cardinals. ;-)

Well, not really, unless you count cities like Hilo (Kilauea and Mauna Loa), Naples (Italy—Vesuvius), Seattle (Mount Rainier), Catania (Mount Etna), etc.

But along that line of thinking, the first man to build cities after the Flood was Nimrod, who also established the first postdiluvian pagan system. Pretty much all cities after his (save Jerusalem IIRC, established by Melchizedek) follow Nimrod’s pattern.

Had I any doubts about never going back to NYC before, they’re gone now.

Escape from New York will look like an optimists view of what it could become with some improvements.

New York elected a Communist as their mayor..be proud New York, your the laughing stock of the country..but I guess in order to find out how really bad Communism is they have to experience it themselves, so for those New Yorkers who voted in this Commie schmuck, choke on it and enjoy

ON THE ROAD TO SERFDOM - 73% OF NEWYORKERS PUT THEIR DESTINY IN THE HANDS OF A COMMUNIST

“Posterity! you will never know how much it cost the present generation to preserve your freedom! I hope you will make a good use of it. If you do not, I shall repent in Heaven that I ever took half the pains to preserve it.” - John Adams, Letter to Abigail Adams, 1777

“When you see that trading is done, not by consent, but by compulsion - when you see that in order to produce, you need to obtain permission from men who produce nothing - when you see that money is flowing to those who deal, not in goods, but in favors - when you see that men get richer by graft and by pull than by work, and your laws don’t protect you against them, but protect them against you - when you see corruption being rewarded and honesty becoming a self-sacrifice - you may know that your society is doomed.” AYN RAND

Obama/de Blasio’s fait accompli – Under de Blasio New York will suffer a worse devastation than 9/11.

You're very close to the mark. What else is a very liberal liberal but a communist? And communism always has a ruling elite.
