Left-wing Totalitarianism in America
American Thinker ^ | 2-17-14 | Richard Winchester

Posted on 02/17/2014 6:59:20 PM PST by ReformationFan

New York's Democrat governor Andrew Cuomo recently told listeners of WCNY radio that "extreme conservatives" who are "pro-life, pro-assault weapons, anti-gay" have "no place" in New York State because "that's not who New Yorkers are."

Cuomo later tried to cushion the impact of his words by claiming they were aimed solely at "extreme conservatives" among state politicians, and not at New York's mass public.

Even if true -- and WCNY's transcript of Cuomo's blast makes that claim dubious -- one wonders what New Yorkers with the "wrong" policy opinions are supposed to do when they have no politicians to support.

If Cuomo were the only Left-wing pol to express totalitarian sentiments, one could take some solace. Unhappily, he is not. Do the names Barack Obama, Bill De Blasio, Hillary Rodham Clinton, Chuck-you Schumer, and Harry Reid ring a bell? Remember when NPR fired Juan Williams for being politically incorrect?

Anything to the right of Joseph stalin is considered “extreme conservativism” to modern American liberals. If you believe that babies have a right to life, or of self-protection, or that marriage is a sacred bond before God, or even God for that matter, you’re not part of the brave new world liberals are trying to usher in.

I will restate my prediction that 100,000 New Yorkers will go Galt by the end of the summer.

“I will restate my prediction that 100,000 New Yorkers will go Galt by the end of the summer.”

Maybe they’ll go Charles Bronson.

Intolerant breed those left-wing totalitarians. It’s a good thing our government would refute this totalitarian speech-bullying.

/sarcasm
