One said it’s because they saw him as “one of them”. He said what he meant by that is they went to the same ivy league schools, he was the “smart choice”. If you want to insert “sucker’s” for “smart”, WE are in the same camp.
I’m sorry, New York City is full of complete and total classless morons who like to look down their noses at others because they think they are better, are smarter than every one else. Are they? Again, just think Obama. That Kurt Russell movie “Escape from New York” had a very smart title.
Do I hate all New Yorkers? Of course not. There are some smart, normal, real Americans there. I might be able to name the ones I know on two hands. Okay, maybe one.
I first traveled to New York City in 1986. It was dirty and nasty. I remember watching some Midwesterners being chased around The Village by some fool yelling expletives and later watching a transvestite being pelted with fries outside a McDonald’s in Times Square by a group of thugs who proceeded to chase him (her) down the street. I’ve yet to see heels move that fast again.
When I traveled back to the city on business in the 90s, it was a total transformation. Rudy Guiliani had left his mark; and, the difference was amazing. Times Square was night and day. I didn’t want to leave. Many of the New Yorkers I knew, of course, thought he was a horrible mayor for the city. See? Idiots.
In the late 90s, when the New York Yankees played the Atlanta Braves in the World Series (I lived in Atlanta), I remember fans throwing BATTERIES at Braves players in the outfield. Yeah, that’s some class.
September 11, 2001, occurred and on that day, it seemed we were all New Yorkers. As most of the nation, I watched in horror. I cried. I couldn’t imagine being there, yet, in some ways I wanted to. I didn’t even want to see the horror, but I did want to help, to hug, to comfort, to pitch in. I wanted to help share their pain because I truly did feel their pain. (Unlike the other fool they STILL support.)
September 11, 2010, I’m disgusted as many New Yorkers – along with their city leaders who approved it – are supporting a mosque to be built just blocks from Ground Zero. Honestly, I don’t give a damn where mosques are built. Except for that one. As has occurred around the world, Muslims often like to declare a victory with placement of a mosque. It’s their way of demonstrating power, they WON. If you do not wish to send that message, if that is not your goal, great: MOVE IT. The mosque backers wanted to put up this 14 story structure in just over a year when first announced. This while nearly 10 years later most of Ground Zero is still a blank space. Priorities, priorities. Quite a tribute to those whose lives were forfeited that day.
In the times in which we live we face many challenges, obstacles. Personally, I believe they get bigger from here, not smaller. New Yorkers, stop being such weak, appeasing pansies. (. . . Said the gay man.) Seriously, you people like to think you’re so tough, snap out of the idiot liberal funk you've been in, stand up to the insanity promoted by the morons you have elected. CHANGE the people you have elected, truly be smart going forward, be as strong as you like to think you are. No one attacks the bully on the school yard, but the weak kid, the obnoxious kid, the arrogant kid, they’re the first targets. Right now, you're one good damned target.
Start showing your best side again and I will possibly love New York once more. Even consider no longer looking down my nose at you.
