Prince Andrew Cuomo is sworn Gov of New York

Andrew Cuomo, who’s never achieved anything without the help of his daddy, former gov Mario Cuomo, is sworn into office.

New Yorkers, well make that Democrat New Yorkers have elected another big tax and spend Liberal masquerading as a conservative.

A Zebra can’t change his stripes!

If people who’ve elected this knock off Cuomo think he’s going to stand up to the public employee unions who voted for him in droves, think again.

My fellow New Yorkers, you’ve screwed yourselves once again.

MSNBC Host Openly Mocks Gay Conservative in On-Air Interview

Story here

What I find so interesting about the attitude of MSNBC Cenk Uygur concerning why a Gay man would be a Republican is that it’s the same condescending thinking that expects Blacks and Latinos to automatically be Democrats.

But, that’s the Democrat Party, a collection of different groups that don’t really think for themselves and are expected to robotically pull the lever for Democrats.

Like zombies?

Gov. Christie praises his administration and lashes out at local mayors for not doing their jobs after blizzard

This video is of a New Jersey resident giving Gov Chris Christie the business. Actually I think the strets look better than the ones in New York City.



Snow removal is the responsibility of local mayors-period! That’s why New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg continues to catch hell here in New York City and deservedly so.

New Jersey Online reports that at his first public event since a blizzard slammed the state, Gov. Chris Christie praised state workers and his administration for their response to the storm and said he wouldn't have done anything differently.

Christie signed a letter in Freehold officially requesting aid from the federal government and then took questions, blaming mayors for people being trapped in their homes and Democrats and the media for the attention being given to his decisions to remain in Disney World on a family vacation while the state was inundated with snow.

"I would give the folks in New Jersey state government and the county government an A for the effort we put in," Christie said. "We probably get a B for results."

Christie said the state will review the clean-up effort and report to him and the public about changes that should be made to better respond to future storms.

By Thursday 95 percent of state roads were cleared and the state Department of Transportation received no requests from mayors to help clear local roads, Christie said.

"I don't know whether we're supposed to have ESP when we have 566 municipalities," Christie said.
When asked about the hundreds of people trapped in their homes for days, Christie said unless they lived on state roads, it's not something his administration would have been able to change.


"If someone is snowed into their house, that's not our responsibility," Christie said.

When asked about mayors who said they were forced to divert their resources to unplowed state roads instead of clearing local roads Christie said, "I know who these mayors are and they should buck up and take responsibility for the fact that they didn't do their job."

Christie made international news when the storm dumped nearly three feet of snow in some places and he remained in Florida. He said he had promised his children that he would take them to the resort the week between Christmas and New Years and didn't want to go back on that promise. He said since he flew on a commercial airline it would have likely been impossible for him to return to the state earlier, adding that his flight this morning was delayed several hours.

Muslims bomb Christian Church in Egypt, again, killing 21 at New Year’s Eve Mass

If you’re a Christian in a Muslim dominated country, you are marked for death. Yet, when Muslims come to the United States they demand to be treated special by refusing to assimilate into the culture. However, our constitution dictates that we be tolerant of other faiths and offer them equal protection under the law.



That is not the case in the Middle East and it is unacceptable that the same kind of tolerance does not exist there!



Until I see the day that Christian churches can be built in Saudi Arabia and other Muslim dominated countries, until I see the day that so-called moderate Muslims will begin to speak out against the killing of Christians, and until I see the day that Muslims in the Middle East can demonstrate religious tolerance such as we have here in the United States, I will continue to view these people as perpetrators of peace and faith.







CBS News reports that a powerful bomb, possibly from a suicide attacker, exploded in front of a Coptic Christian church as a crowd of worshippers emerged from a New Years Mass early Saturday, killing at least 21 people and wounding nearly 80 in an attack that raised suspicions of an al Qaeda role.



The attack came in the wake of repeated threats by al Qaeda militants in Iraq to attack Egypt's Christians. A direct al Qaeda hand in the bombing would be a dramatic development, as Egypt's government has long denied that the terror network has a significant presence in the country. Al Qaeda in Iraq has already been waging a campaign of violence against Christians in that country.



Police initially said the blast came from an explosives-packed car parked outside the Saints Church in the Mediterranean port city. But the Interior Ministry later said it was more likely from a suicide bomber who blew himself up among the crowd. Both tactics are hallmarks of al Qaeda and have been rarely used in Egypt, where the government crushed an insurgency by Islamic militants in the 1990s.



Though the government of President Hosni Mubarak denies an al Qaeda presence, Egypt does have a rising movement of Islamic hard-liners who, while they do not advocate violence, adhere to an ideology similar in other ways to al Qaeda. There have been fears they could be further radicalized amid growing sectarian tensions between Egypt's Muslim majority and Christian minority.
Nearly 1,000 Christians were attending the New Year's Mass at the Saints Church, said Father Mena Adel, a priest at the church.



The service had just ended, and some worshippers were leaving the building when the bomb went off about a half hour after midnight, he said. "The last thing I heard was a powerful explosion and then my ears went deaf," Marco Boutros, a 17-year-old survivor, said from his hospital bed. "All I could see were body parts scattered all over - legs and bits of flesh."



Blood splattered the facade of the church, as well as a mosque directly across the street. Bodies of many of the dead were collected from the street and kept inside the church overnight before they were taken away Saturday by ambulances for burial. Some Christians carried white sheets with the sign of the cross emblazoned on them with what appeared to be the blood of the victims. Mubarak vowed to track down those behind the attack, saying "we will cut off the hands of terrorists and those plotting against Egypt's security."



"This terrorist act has shaken the conscience of the nation," he said in a statement, adding that "all Egypt was targeted, and terrorism does not distinguish between Copt and Muslim."
