The Alarming Vulnerability of New York City

It is time to talk about the Democratic nominee for New York City Mayor, Zohran Mamdani.

Not because he may well be the next mayor of one of the most important cities in America, and perhaps the world.

But because of what he represents: the core principles of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) of which he is a staunch and unapologetic member.

Let us first recognize that his socialism is not the socialism that we often attach to the Great Depression policies of President Franklin Delano Roosevelt. FDR's version of "socialism" saved the nation from the ravages of the Depression in the 1930s through programs that leveraged public works as a means of restoring paychecks and pride for millions. The creation of FDR's Social Security allowed families to put aside money that would be returned to them upon retirement. It was government with empathy.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.

I will maintain that "Socialism" is just a stalking horse for Sharia.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

The late senator, Everett Dirksen, once noted the American people have a right to vote themselves to hell if they want.  My son, who lives in NY, says it appears the voters are going to prove him correct. :smokin:
