Cuomo says "America was never that great."

if you listen to the two minutes post that dumb ass comment you can see where he was going. I'm glad he said it, sound bite is right up there with "you don't need 10 bullets to kill a deeeeeeer". Got me thinking what did the women in the audience think when he essentially described an America pre-sufferage, like they are victims, stuck in the house barefoot, pregnant with no voting rights. I would think most thinking women would have been offended by his entire premise.
 
America:
1. Man on the moon
2. Polio vaccine
3. Panama canal
4. The internet
4. First Nuclear reactor
5. Saved the world from power crazed dictators...twice.
6. The airplane
7. The cellphone
8. The production line and Model T Ford
9. The Submarine
10. The MRI


Oh, and the M-16, M1 Garand, Colt 1911, and Browning M2

Just off the top of my head...Suck it Cuomo. Cuomo was being mentioned as a possible Presidential candidate...oh well...bye.

If you listen to the whole speech this is unremarkable SJW virtue signaling. This is a bad country, full of bad people, because people who think like me are better than all of you, and we should be your rulers with unrestricted power. You are a crass, racist, selfish people who enjoy hurting and oppressing others, and I am here to bringeth light unto your darkness. Sound familiar? We have one of these self righteous morons trolling in here right now.

How is this any different from any other Progressive? It's not. It's only a political faux pa because of the sound bite that is taken somewhat out of context, but really not. To me it's like Obama's, "You didn't build that". Yes, it was a bad turn of a phrase, but his point was a normal, everyday Progressive/Socialist/collectivist idea that is actually unremarkable. Same as Cuomo. There's a good 30% of Americans who are real communists/collectivists who are nodding at that speech, so don't kid yourself. They rarely will talk about their actual ideas because they are so utterly offensive and incompatibly with liberal democracy and republicanism. This, like Obama's slip ups, are where we get to see what their actual ideas are behind their juvenile politics. Those are far more corrosive and evil than this little political kerfuffle over a phrase.

Quite frankly, to me, the whole/real idea he's putting forth is far more offensive than the sound bite. He is a little authoritarian dictator, who oppresses people and steals liberty to aggrandize himself. He doesn't care what the results of his policies are. The result isn't the point. How his beliefs and ideology make him feel IS the point. He does this with the approval of his own diseased conscience and his cartoonish, messianic opinion of himself; a trait dangerously common among "Progressives".

If there were no truth behind it there would be no Mythos or mystique. The fact is that the truth of our country and our founding is ten times more remarkable than the fictions.

I'll only give you half of 5. The rest is bullshit. If you think the war was turning against Germany in 1941 you have no idea what you're talking about. The Russians did do the heavy lifting, and may have won it on their own, meaning you would be speaking some bastardized form of Danish/Russian ala A Clockwork Orange.

But at least we didn't have an alliance with Hitler.

And the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact was hardly "work". The commencement of hostilities in WWII through the invasion and annexation of Poland and other free states was a joint German-Soviet endeavor.

I disagree on #4. The internet was invented right here in the USA, the first iteration of which is ARPANET, run by ARPA/DARPA (Advanced Research Projects Agency, part of DOD) and operates between themselves and a bunch of universities. DOD agency ARPA invented internet, not Al Gore, not French, not Brits. The OSI model has little to do with the internet, it is just a different way of abstracting the layers instead of TCP/IP, it not an invention, more over, nobody gives a crap about OSI model, the internet runs on TCP/IP, the original ARPA protocol. I don't know what you mean by british invented WWW. The concept of modern day WWW was started by NCSA (national center for supercomputing applications in University of Illinois) with its release of mosaic browsers which then branched off to the Netscape browser, another American invention. You can verify all these facts via whatever references you like to use. The original concept of system connecting every home was by American writer Murray Leinster in his book A Logic Named Joe published in 1946.

I take serious issues with you assigning credits of the most important modern day marvel to irrelevant countries.

Interesting how Trump's slogan was "Make America Great Again"
When the Hillary was running against him her retort was that america was already great (for progressives) and no need to make it great again
Now comes the SJW Como the ........ going the other way and saying America was never great.

Funny how they flop back and forth trying for whatever the SJW think will stick.

Anyone who doesn't think America is great has probably not traveled much
and certainly not lived elsewhere.

Anyone that doesn't understand "great again" doesn't remember it before libtards
And entiteled people ended up running it / ruining it.

We need quick clot and a field dressing not a funeral.
 
Much of Cuomo's utterances are simple evidence that the left minded will say anything controversial as long as it serves their purposes and gains public attention.

Andrew Cuomo was born here. He's a homegrown political activist whose activities IMHO directly and deliberately undermine the Constitution and BOR. His incumbency in any public office is a travesty of biblical proportion. It's the NY City Liberal political machine which keeps returning him to office. He only ever carries five counties in the state, the five Boroughs of NY City.

I have distrusted Andrew "Il Duce" Cuomo ever since he first took office in 2011. I left NY two years ago, literally because of him and his Communist cadre.

His Son Brother Christopher is a solidly entrenched enabler with CNN.

PS Good catch mijp5, thanks for the correction.

4.0 - Neither one did shit with it. We did the heavy lifting turning lab theory into reality
4.1 - Those immigrants didn't do it by themselves, and they could have NEVER achieved what they did in their home countries
5 - Why the fuck would we want a part in YOUR war, until that Hitler dipshit declared it on us?
9 - Drebbels boat was crude in the extreme. Bushnell's Turtle was a functioning (variable ballast), weaponized submarine actually used in war
10 - See 4.1 above

The first military submarine was Turtle in 1776. During the American Revolutionary War, Turtle (operated by Sgt. Ezra Lee, Continental Army) tried and failed to sink a Britishwarship, HMS Eagle (flagship of the blockaders) in New York harbor on September 7, 1776.

Now let's argue about who invented the radio...Marconi or Tesla

Every one of my facts are true...some points may be argued.

As to Mr. Jensen's point that I have two number 4's... I deny it, it never happened, and if it did, I suspect Russian intervention.

Untrue. The precursor to the Internet was ARPANET, a DoD project. OSI model IS NOT the Internet, and came after ARPANET anyway. The web is not the Internet either, so irrelevant. More importantly, are you trying to argue that Al Gore is not a US citizen?
 
Most people here in Ny, realize this guy is an Asshole. He is as corrupt as they come. Why someone never stands tough against him, I will never know. He controls everything! He has the unions, State assembly, Media, all in his pocket.
Im a member of a group of very active Pro 2nd , who try to get every gun owner in NY to vote! Its a hard sell.
I dont so much blame the stupid Left wing Democrats on him staying in power, but all the lazy ass registered gun owners how wont get off there asses and vote!
We have 5 million in NYS. More than enough to get rid of him.
 
Yes, but in NY where dems registered to vote is %X Repuylbicans so registered, it is not hard to see how he is reelected.
Maybe this is his "Deplorables " moment? Not that any republican has a chance in hell in NY

I get that it is a "Blue" state; however, someone else in the democratic party can't beat him out?
 
5. Didn't want to participate in helping Europe until the war was turning and they were attacked at Pearl Harbor. Nice try, though. Russians did more work.

So let me see if I understand Europeans:
1. America sucks because it didn't want to be a warmonger in WW2
2. America sucks because it is a warmonger in the middle east

You know what, FUCK EUROPE
 
I don’t think you guys understand, mr.jensen can’t be wrong he got all his facts off the internet in his moms basement....
