Being a resident of New York state all of my life, I have seen my share of corrupt, liberal governors from Rockefeller (who died while in the company of a prostitute) to Elliot Spitzer and his client number nine moment to the abject failure of David Patterson. But, this time around, we now have the smooth and crass Andrew Cuomo.

Cuomo, when asked to run for Governor by the Democrat party, seemed very reluctant to give up his post as New York State attorney general. But in the end, he decided to run against Tea Party candidate Carl Palidino. It was a grueling campaign; and as usual, the Democrats pulled out all of the stops right down to going after Carl’s family. The tide turned on the election when Carl was nearly engaged in a physical altercation with journalist Fred Dicker over his children being exploited. Ultimately, Carl was then framed as a hothead for doing what any father would do to protect his children. Well, we ended up with Cuomo.

Upon Cuomo’s arrival in Albany, he came across as very fiscally conservative (for a liberal, that is), engaging in a fight with the public sector unions in order to reduce their impact on the New York economy. He also pushed for a two percent tax cap on all local budgets. These things made him look more like a moderate, and people were starting to warm up to him. Up until his draconian New York Safe Act gun law, he enjoyed an approval rating of 73 percent. Since that time, he still enjoys a 59 percent approval rating.

Now, he is saying that amendments will be made to the Safe Act. Such as, removing the restrictions on police officers as to magazine sizes and bullet quantities. I believe that while these amendments are done, he may try to sneak a version of AO 3908, the assembly bill requiring that firearms owners purchase 1 million dollars of liability insurance, into law.

Now, a history lesson on Cuomo. Before he was the attorney general for New York, he served as the Housing and Urban Development secretary under Bill Clinton. As HUD secretary, he was responsible for pushing the banks to give mortgages out to low income people, whom they knew could not afford to pay them back. I hold Cuomo partially responsible for not only the banking, but also the housing crises that put America into her downward spiral. Now why would he have done this, you ask? Because Andrew Cuomo has been instrumental in implementing the UN’s Agenda 21, right after Clinton signed the executive order on “sustainable development”. Cuomo is a key player in this.

Agenda 21 is the UN plan to turn ALL private property over to the government sector, thus creating a loss of US sovereignty. What better way to do this than to sell private homes to people who can’t afford them and to have the mortgages guaranteed by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, 2 government insurers who refuse to be audited? …read more
