Gov. Cuomo: Pro-life people not welcome in New York
“Their problem is not me and the Democrats; their problem is themselves,” he said. “Who are they? Are they these extreme conservatives who are right-to-life, pro-assault-weapon, anti-gay? Is that who they are? Because if that’s who they are and they’re the extreme conservatives, they have no place in the state of New York, because that’s not who New Yorkers are.”

Interestingly NY State is an “outbound” state (people moving out of)

And where they are moving … think sun-belt (and GOP) states
One can see how demagogues can demonize a whole group of religious people and deem them enemies of the state. Nero comes to mind.
Pastor Mike Harding
He recently made a statement against tackle football. He must not have noticed the three NFL teams that call NY home.
The totalitarianism that persecutes people deemed “the opposition” begins with simple words like our Governor spoke. This is not the first time he has said something like this. Each time, he seems to become bolder. Will the citizens heed the forewarnings and seek to bring about change through peaceful and lawful actions, or shall we be fooled until it is too late?
