Cuomo and the real America

A very interesting process is at work in NY State and it does have consequences even for the real America outside of our oppressed state.  Gov. Cuomo, standing for reenthronement this year, is being challenged from his very left by one Cynthia Nixon, late of tawdry fashionable TV.  Much as 18th and 19th century armies painfully probed and searched for their opponent's flank, it must be difficult to find purchase left of Andrew Cuomo.  I mean, what leftist with a lick of common sense ( assuming there is such a  creature) could find fault in Andrew?  The outcome of this grotesque engagement has national implications because success for Andrew could prompt his all out commitment to a Presidential race.  And that we must hope for; Andrew cannot abide the real America and that will be obvious if he ventures, with trepidation, into it, to his confusion. His father knew such a foray was untenable.  He doesn't.  Of course, should Ms. Nixon prevail,she might consider it too. A plague on both their houses!  And as a New Yorker I admit to the rest of the country, sans CA, MD, Conn and the like, my shame. Believe me, most of our state is with you but we cannot outvote that malignant mass at the mouth of the Hudson .

Anyway, Andrew has two current priorities.  The first he has expressed as a determination, even unto executive fiat, bypassing inconveniently empowered elected legislators, to restore to most paroled felons in NYS, a right to vote. He  says  that the present disenfranchisement of such model citizens reflects badly on our "criminal justice" (justice for criminals) system and begs justice, justice he says! Uh, he also seeks to ensure votes aplenty for the criminal apologist Democrat party which, I assure you, is very popular in the NYS prison world.

I worked in the NYS corrections system for 20 years and frankly, I saw some fairly unsavory souls restored to society via the parole system (in which, comically in a sense, thugs pledge to be good). The "parole game" is a celebrated institution in state prisons. For example, a prospective parolee to whom I had sent an overdue book notice threatened to cut my throat but was freed nonetheless two days later. Well, I'm just saying, you know.  But Andrew passes sleepless nights agonizing about  these people's "rights".

But gee, he doesn't think the same of lawful gun owners (actually one of the most law abiding factions outside of lala land) .To those of that pariah faction who have objected strenuously to his earnest efforts to have them pay the bill for the insane and left wing generated amoralism which drives mass murderers and tells  the victimizers that they are ok, really, they are OK, he expectorates:  "you are just a vocal minority (the only minority I would dare criticize) and you should leave my state because you don't belong here". OK, we got the message.

Take it from us, America. We are probably saddled with this dude or something even more extreme; we usually cannot outvote those leftist NYC types, although it can happen.  But learn from our  travails and , I urge you, see it for what it is: an accurate preview of what ANY Democrat party candidate will bring your way.   Jack
