Inside the "Progressive" Mind of NYC's Mayor DeBlasio

Inside the "Progressive" Mind of NYC's Mayor DeBlasio

 

I was a one-time liberal, before I grew up and learned something.  I was certainly not in the same class as today’s liberal-leftists in the Democrat Party and I always (ok, usually) get a good laugh at the extremes to which the lib-left goes nowadays.

Take, for example, the new Communist-Democrat mayor of New York City, “progressive” Bill DeBlasio.

Even prior to his November election, he courageously announced he would rescue hansom carriage horses from their involuntary servitude hauling tourists around Central Park.  If implemented, DeBlasio’s rescue plan would send dozens of carriage drivers to unemployment lines and probably consign their well-tended horses to glue factories or cans of Alpo.

As with all “progressives,” the mayor regards misplaced charities as more important than the well-being of human beings.

Both pre- and post-election, De Blasio made it vividly clear that he considered the highly-effective NYPD policy of stopping, questioning, and frisking suspected criminals constituted racial profiling and was racially discriminatory.  On assuming the mayoralty, he banned the practice, ignoring the reality that stop-question-frisk mainly benefitted blacks in black neighborhoods by getting dangerous miscreants off their streets.

Liberal-leftist politicians proudly and invariably favor criminals' rights over the rights of their law-abiding constituents.

Ever-faithful to his campaign promises, last week the new resident of Gracie Mansion launched his threatened war against what are by far the best alternatives to the miserably-failing New York City’s public school system, charter schools. 

Those alternatives also happen to be the bane of De Blasio’s most avid supporters, the National Education Association and the New York State United Teachers.

DeBlasio, the NEA and the NYSUT oppose and despise charters because, by virtue of their educational achievements; those schools accent the failures of public school systems and the mayor is counting on the products of those schools to (God forbid!) reelect him in four years.

Last Thursday, De Blasio scrapped former Mayor Bloomberg’s green-lighting of two new Success Academy . . . (Read more at http://www.genelalor.com/blog1/?p=36085.)

Quickie Liberal Updates: Eliot Spitzer and Bill de Blasio

Quickie Liberal Updates:  Eliot Spitzer and Bill de Blasio

 

Two prime exemplars of the liberal-left, aka “progressives”, in action:

Eliot Spitzer: Some people never learn from their trials, tribulations, and indiscretions.
The disgraced New York State governor who was forced to resign his office after he was exposed as a philanderer with a yen for expensive, young hookers has moved on up to somewhat older women.

According to the New York Post, “Sleazy Eliot Spitzer turned a resort hot tub into a steamy love cauldron over the weekend–kissing and sucking the toes of his topless mistress, [37 year old] Lis Smith, in front of families with children.”

Smith, you may recall, is the former Director of Rapid Response, Obama for America and former spokeswoman for New York City’s new mayor, Bill de Blasio.  She was canned by de Blasio after she and Spitzer were caught apparently spending the night together in December at her apartment.

Now, toe kissing and sucking may be kinky but aren’t morally offensive activities except when the exhibition happens at a family resort such as the Half Moon in Montego Bay and the suckee is topless and highly visible. 

One 10 year old boy noticed–as boys are wont to do–and created an audience by yelling to his mother, “Mom there’s an old guy in the Jacuzzi with this girl and she’s topless and she’s got her legs wrapped around him.”

As expected, the old guy’s camp denied everything as “totally untrue,” just as they had denied the story published by another Spitzer hooker, Rebecca Woodard in “Call Girl Confidential.”  Woodard claimed the Love Gov liked to choke her just for his jollies during their illicit assignations, fun and games we trust he didn’t play with his wife Silda Wall Spitzer who has finally dumped his sorry ass.

Bill de Blasio.  Most liberal heads aren’t screwed on too tight.
Mayor de Blasio hasn’t been caught playing with hookers or publicly sucking on topless associates’ toes in hot tubs but he is a proud “progressive” like Eliot Spitzer and, as such, sucks up to “progressive” rights movements.

Even before he ascended on New Years Day to the mayoralty of the Big Apple, described by one speaker at his inaugural as a “plantation,” de Blasio announced, “It’s over.  We are going to quickly and aggressively move to make horse carriages no longer a part of the landscape in New York City. They are not humane. They are not appropriate to the year 2014.” . . . (Read more at http://www.genelalor.com/blog1/?p=35037.)
