https://www.cbsnews.com/news/new-york-governor-andrew-cuomo-says-america-was-never-that-great/ "New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who has worked to portray himself as a major antagonist to President Trump, offered an alternative to the president's famous campaign slogan, "Make America Great Again," at a bill signing Wednesday. "We are not going to make America great again. It was never that great," he said. The audience, which was there to watch Cuomo sign a bill to make sex trafficking a felony in the state, reacted with audible gasps and cheers. The governor was attempting to make a larger point about women's equality, but the context was lost with the shocked reaction to his first sentence." Another case of the left coming out and telling people who they really are. America was never great? Perhaps from his vantage point as the pampered scion of a politically powerful family in NY. Has America been perfect or flawless. No. But never great? Absurd! Never the beacon of the world for refugees and still the place everyone wants to emigrate to? Never an industrial giant? Never the world's policeman and principal reason we aren't all speaking German? Or Russian? Or Chinese? Never a guarantor of women's rights? Or abolisher of slavery (at great loss of human life to Americans)? Never a model for civil rights for all? Never a leader in medical research and main reason the world is well rid of so many diseases and blights on mankind? Never put a man on the moon? Never established cultural hegemony over the globe? Never developed a large stable and prosperous middle class and a high standard of living the world aspires to? Is that the message the left wants to run with? Good luck to them and I wish them well in a search to find a better nation to live in, all things considered. Trolls will have a field day pointing out every flaw and misstep America has ever made and I declare that in spite of all that, America is objectively and unarguably a great nation now and a great nation throughout our history. If Andrew Cumo and his family want to move to Norway or Switzerland or Nepal or wherever he thinks his life would be better, America will still be great because it personally guarantees the liberty and freedom of so many other nations and it is the most charitable place on earth, bar none! I call that greatness. I'm no flag waver but sometimes when you see the hypocritical drivel of a pompous ignorant ingrate like Andrew Cuomo, speaking up is more than recommended. It is absolutely necessary.
He lives in NYC so............................................................that cesspool isn't that great.
Yet how many of them are moving out? Andrew Cuomo may be so scurrilous and so low that he cynically is making his claims merely to counter Donald Trump but just the fact that he would put himself in that position demonstrates the hollow, corrupt, corroded moral core of the left. Forum rules won't allow me to more accurately describe someone like Cuomo.
republicans said America is not great, they wear Dirty Donald's hats that say make America Great again, thus meaning they do not think America is great what some Trump supporters "fine people" really mean when they talk about the great ol days
No. MAGA supporters simply don't want the US to become a Venezuela shithole..........which is where it's headed if the left has their say.
I can't bring myself to even utter those words. America IS great, and can be even better. To say this country was never great requires one to have a lop-sided pessimistic view of things.
Only people who would fly pallets of cash to the Iranian terrorist regime would think America wasn't great.
Andrew Cuomo is not even part of the conversation! It is much like Charlie Brown's teacher - wamp, wamp, wamp, wamp...
Fake News... He was misquoted.... He meant since Trump was elected.... No Collusion.... Crooked Hillary... Get it straight... WHOMEVER the Democrats nominate will win in 2020.... He or she could shoot 2 people on 5th avenue and still win....
However, we did ENSLAVE, yes ENSLAVE, black people, due to their skin color - but I blame God/Jesus for approving of slavery in the #1 book in American history (Bible). Finally we overcame the immorality of God/Jesus, and have been great ever since.
if Republicans keep spending trillions on war an giving huge tax cuts to the rich and mega corps, we will go BK like Russia did think of all the nation building we could of done at home had Bush not of spent those many trillions overseas
While it's close, I think Chris is actually dumber than Andrew. So Andrew is the second dumbest of all the Cuomos.
Had we not attacked the Taliban, we'd be having 9/11's about every month or so, and then most all foreign investment would be removed from America, so your 401(k) would be worth about as much as the Venezuelan bolivar is.
