Bloomberg: NC marriage vote sets back civil rights

2012-05-15

New York City Mayor

Michael Nanny Bloomberg has told University of North Carolina graduates that last week's gay marriage vote shows there is still a lot of work to be done for civil rights in this country.

Bloomberg spoke Sunday to thousands of graduates at Kenan Memorial Stadium.

Bloomberg told them Americans have slowly understood since this country was founded that if the government can deny freedom to one person, it can deny freedom to everyone. The mayor says every generation has brought more freedom to this country, and he expects the latest generation to continue the work, especially after last Tuesday's vote approving a state constitutional amendment banning gay marriage in North Carolina.
Greater freedom is supposed to also mean greater responsibility

Well, it depends who is denying what to whom. Isn't that what ya meant to say, Mikey?

#5 Bloomberg doesn't believe in letting the people vote. What does that do for civil rights?

#4 Bloomberg sets back rights. Another would-be tyrant who knows what's best all the time for everyone everywhere.

#3 It's Bloomberg's attacks on property rights and the right of people to earn a living and create businesses that concern me more.

NYC does not need a Nanny.

#2 Fortunately Bloomberg's fanatical attacks on the 2nd Amendment have done a lot for civil rights - namely, encouraged all of us to give more to the NRA.
