Virginia Beware of New Yawkas on the Prowl

I read an article today on Virginia Governor McAuliffe's impassioned campaign to empower and mobilize criminals in his state to, well, to enable them to support the Democrats, with whom they are oh so comfortable.  20 years working in several State prisons convinced me of their sympathies.

I'm a Civil War reenactor and whenever I drive into VA I say "wow, I'm in Dixie land".  In so many ways its true; waitresses address me as "darling" ; I see roads titled Jubal Early Drive and taking me every few miles to places so significant in our history.  But I also see the spreading cancer of "New Yawk" and I fear for the real American majority in Virginia.  A recent election for the Virginia legislature would, but for the pure luck of a draw, have put Dems in control. Eastern megalopolis style crowding is obvious on the coast.  The baleful cultural influence of DC permeates and pollutes its VA environs.  Virginians, you are in danger of becoming "New Yawk" and being a lifelong resident of the common sense upstate majority of  that oppressed state, I'd like to give you a preview of what could be in store for you.

Most of New York State is an everyday place with much more in common with the midwest than with Gotham. Certainly its that way where I live; there are no Dems at all in our county legislature.  But within our state border is the political malignancy of New Yawk City and we cannot outvote them at the state level, plain and simple.  Of course they know that and have no misgivings about forcing their foreign views and ways on us. (" I don't know from Buffalo".) They recently reelected a very far left Mayor and that says it all about them. Oh, I know there are alot of good people there but they are in the same quandry we are in and in which Virginians will be mired soon unless they repel the onslaught of the "enlightened".

The exemplar of the New Yawk attitude is our Governor Andrew Cuomo and was his father Mario Cuomo.  His father acknowedged that 80% of NY voters wanted the death penalty on the books (not that it would be or has been enforced in a state where only criminals are privileged to carry it out, without, mind you, benefit of due process).  But that was as nothing to him; he was a consummate liberal bigot to whom it was unthinkable that he could be wrong in blocking it.  Andrew is his father's son and you may be getting one like him soon, courtesy of your burgeoning population of New Yawkas and like minded people in Alexandria, Richmond, Fredericksburg and even seeping into the country.  They are coming to VA in the first place to get out of the hell holes so many of them (not all) have fostered in New Yawk, MA and NJ.  They see that there are JOBS in states uninfected with the notion that only government can assure prosperity. But they don't see the connection (or the disconnect) with the reality that the free enterprise and self reliance so valued in the South is the key to that happy and sensible situation.

You are wise in Virginia to have strict term limits on your Governorship.  You should defend that lest you get Cuomo III, who would regard the office as his inherent right.  If you do get a Cuomo type (Clinton loving McAuliffe is only a hint) here's what you can expect if you are of the real Virginia and the real America:  he has characterized us upstaters in NY as simply a "vocal minahritty".  Actually that's a left handed compliment coming from him. Frankly, he sees us as insects; we are there to be sure but we must be controlled.  That's what's in store for you if you don't act.

How to act?  Give those from places like New Yawk and most of New England who enter your communities to know that they are welcome unless they seek to take over. Those of good will among them will understand.  For those who purpose the transformation of your localities - resist them resolutely at the local level.  Beware lest they infest town and school boards.  Assume that if they run for office AT ANY LEVEL as  Democrats that their own views notwithstanding, they will answer to the Pelosis, the Schumers, the Clintons and the Virginia avatars of these incipient totalitarians.  Take your noble state back, Virginians, or languish as we do in Upstate New York -  as subjects, not citizens.  Jack
