Newly sworn in NYC Mayor gets right to work banning.

Don't know if anybody outside that benighted city knows or cares that they just swore in a full blown communist authoritarian.

He wasted no time in getting to work banning shit.

Doomberg would be proud.

First to go: horse drawn carriages.


New Yorkers Take Last Ride on Carriage Horses Before DeBlasio Ban

I'm getting tired of being pushed around by these leftist bullies. This is a good example of why we need state sovereignty.

New York Soon to Trail Florida in Population

I think there are other reasons besides financial that are making these people leave New York State. It's changing demographically with many middle east foreigners moving to the bigger cities. I was shocked a couple of years ago when I went to Niagara Falls. Many people think that what happens in NYC eventually happens around the country. Why should anybody have to move because some hateful oppressive progressive moves into town and tries to force their will on the people? I don't blame the New Yorkers for leaving but why should they be put in that position by a few know-it-all bullies? Why do a few get their way while the majority doesn't?

This does not make sense!

Thank God you aren't the commander in chief of the United States. As soon as someone bullied you around you would raise the white flag. You have got to have some French blood in you.

BOO!!! Did that scare you?          

I'm tough enough. I'm married.

I think we have another post about that, Anti. I can't believe he is banning the horses. They are such a part of NYC. And as I said, and we thought Bloomie was a communist!!

Sorry about the double posting.

Doomberg was a fascist authoritarian.

Warren Wilhelm Jr. (That's "Red" Bill's real name) is a communist authoritarian.

At the end of the day, it all about using the power of the state and it's monopoly on violence, to boss people around.

It blows me away that half our country doesn't seem to care that they are being ruled by a group intent on taking complete control of our daily lives.

That's ok, Anti. I am glad you posted it again. It is important that people know about this. Of course the New Yorkers don't care, they voted him in.

Don’t let the door hit you on the way out!

Mayor de Blasio’s inaugural guests took turns beating up on former Mayor Mike Bloomberg at City Hall Wednesday — even calling his reign a “plantation” that callously ignored New York’s hungry children.

With the ex-mayor seated just feet away, in the front row of the dais, performer and civil-rights icon Harry Belafonte launched the first shot by calling the city’s justice system “Dickensian” thanks to Bloomberg’s stop-and-frisk policy — an apparent reference to de Blasio’s “Tale of Two Cities” campaign theme.

“New York alarmingly plays a tragic role in the fact that our nation has the largest prison population in the world,” he said, without mentioning that incarceration rates in the city had plummeted by 36 percent since Bloomberg took office in 2002.

Sanitation Department Chaplain Fred ­Lucas Jr. prayed that God free New Yorkers from the “shackles of partisan politics” and “political correctness,” and then went on to refer to the city as a “plantation.”

“Let the plantation called New York City be the city of God, a city up on a hill, a light shining in darkness,” he said.

In their eyes, the New York of today is not just a place where many people struggle mightily to make ends meet — of course it is — but a giant gladiator arena where wealthy people in glittering suites watch and laugh while the less fortunate fight to the death for scraps.

And they all suggested that cold, heartless Mayor Michael Bloomberg made it that way.

What will we do now? Things are getting worse by the day. There is no good in this world anymore. Obama is ruining this country. Liberals are just plan bullies. I'm going to fight back. I've switched parties and the Dem's are no good anymore.

Now I've got to search the web to find bad things to post. I have nothing else better to do.

Let's all do it together and see what depressing things we can find.

Ready.....GO.

I hope I can post this before someone else does.

Bad Bad Barry!!

Mayor de Blasio was elected with 73% of the vote, and the population of New York City, at 8.3 million people, has never been higher. In 2010 the population was 8.175 million people, and in 2000 it was 8 million people.

It looks like Hillary is committing to go even more "progressive". Why else would she be at the Deblasio inauguration? She is showing her support for another socialist. Now the Democrats are preparing to force yet another fracture in the heart of America. You watch. In addition to the race war the progressives keep pushing they will now try to cause even further divide in our country by instigating a new war. The war on the wage difference between those that work for a living and those along for the free ride.

A new study of how criminals vote found that most convicts register Democratic, a key reason in why liberal lawmakers and governors are eager for them to get back into the voting booth after their release.

“Democrats would benefit from additional ex-felon participation,” said the authoritative study in The Annals of the American Academy of Political and Social Science.

The authors, professors from the University of Pennsylvania and Stanford University, found that in some states, felons register Democratic by more than six-to-one. In New York, for example, 61.5 percent of convicts are Democrats, just 9 percent Republican. They also cited a study that found 73 percent of convicts who turn out for presidential elections would vote Democrat.

But despite recent moves in states to notify convicts that they can vote again, the study finds little evidence that they do, undercutting Democratic efforts to get them to the polls.

The study looked at three states which are reminding convicts that they can vote after leaving jail: New York, New Mexico and North Carolina.

They provided the following Democrat-to-Republican breakdown in felon party registration patterns:

– New York: 61.5 percent register Democratic, 9 percent register Republican

– New Mexico: 51.9 percent Democratic, 10.2 percent Republican

– North Carolina: 54.6 percent Democratic, 10.2 percent Republican


, about 2.5 percent of the voting age population. Most are young black males, it added.

Of course murderers, rapists, arsonists, and pedophiles are democrats. They are in prison because they felt entitled to something that wasn't theirs.

Thank you for that information NB. Things are looking up for the democratic party in all areas of the United States.

God bless America!

Turnout in Tuesday’s General Election for New York City mayor may have set a record low of only 22.26 percent of registered voters, according to preliminary figures from the Board of Elections.

Just over a million of 4.3 million registered voters in the city cast their ballot in the mayor’s race, not including absentee, emergency and affidavit ballots.

Since 1950, the highest turnout for a mayoral election was in 1953, when 93 precent of registered voters or 2.2 million participated, according to Board of Elections records.

The previous low in a city mayoral election was four years ago, when some 29 percent of registered voters cast their ballot.

You're welcome, Achigan! I agree that things are looking up for the Democrats around the country. God Bless America, indeed!

Speaking on a panel of political journalists and consultants at the CUNY journalism school on Tuesday night, NY1's Errol Louis suggested that the media initially dismissed Bill de Blasio's mayoral campaign because they underestimated his support among black voters.

The press, he said, assumed that Bill Thompson would get a majority of the black vote and saw de Blasio as an outerborough white ethnic candidate, in the mold of Ed Koch or Anthony Weiner. But that's not how the voters saw de Blasio.

"It turned out he was a black candidate, in terms of voting," Louis said.

"People identified with the wife, people identified with the daughter, people identified with the son, people identified with the family as a whole," he told Capital after the panel.

http://www.capitalnewyork.com/article/media/2013/11/8536370/why-was-press-late-de-blasio-one-answer-he-was-not-white-candidate

In a wide-ranging interview with New York Magazine published just before the primary vote, the billionaire businessman and three-time mayor specified that he didn’t think de Blasio (who is white) is racist himself, but that by heavily promoting his black wife, Chirlane McCray, and mixed-race kids in his campaign advertisements and commercials, de Blasio was “making an appeal using his family to gain support.”

Bloomberg added: “I think it’s pretty obvious to anyone watching what he’s been doing. You tailor messages to your audiences and address issues you think your audience cares about.”

Bloomberg likely was annoyed that his unofficial hand-picked successor, City Council Speaker Christine C. Quinn, failed to gain the nomination and possibly also perturbed by the sudden fame of de Blasio’s teenage son Dante (he of the huge afro).

Although Bloomberg’s words were awkward and ill-chosen, I kind of understood what he was getting at with respect to de Blasio.

In indigo-blue New York, where registered Democrats outnumber registered Republicans by a 6-to-1 margin, Democratic candidates usually find themselves in a crowded field and are forced to play “racial politics.” Part of that involves making appeals to the African-American voter base -- which represents about 18 percent of the population and overwhelmingly supports Democrats. Thus, a candidate such as de Blasio had to do something to stand out from the pack.

De Blasio (wisely, in my opinion) highlighted his interracial family to attract support both from liberal, progressive whites and from blacks who might eagerly endorse what they perceive to be a “nonracist” white man.

And this ploy worked beautifully -- de Blasio not only grabbed 40 percent of the total primary vote, but even snared more black voters than the lone African-American candidate in the contest, Bill Thompson. Quite an extraordinary feat for a former long-shot candidate (de Blasio) who ranked pretty low in popularity and name-recognition polls just a few months ago.

De Blasio has the largest margin of victory by a non-incumbent in any mayor’s race in city history.

Winning by a 3-1 margin by a democrat non-incumbent is something that the GOP should hang their head in shame for allowing this to happen. There wasn't anything they could do about it but if I was a republican I wouldn't have brought this up in a forum.
But thanks for doing it anyway. It's a proud day in America.
