Malignant Liberal Idiocy

Hat tip to Andrew Wilkow, host of The Wilkow Majority on Sirius Patriot 144 for pointing out what sort of Pandora’s Box the governor of New York may be opening with his directive on recognizing the same-sex marriages licensed in other jurisdictions. For those that may not be aware of Gov. Patterson’s declaration (undoubtedly made between revelations of yet more extramarital affairs,) today’s Washington Post gleefully shares the news. Robin Shulman writes in “N.Y. to Recognize Other Jurisdictions’ Gay Marriages“:

NEW YORK — Same-sex marriages legally performed elsewhere will be recognized in New York state, according to the office of Gov. David A. Paterson.

In response to a February state court ruling, the governor’s office has directed all state agencies to revise their regulations and policies to ensure respect for same-sex marriages from states and countries where they are legal.

In a videotaped message to gay community leaders at a recent dinner, Paterson (D) called the directive a “strong step toward marriage equality.”

And:

Advocates said hundreds, perhaps thousands, of gay New Yorkers have already traveled to Canada to marry even though that conferred no guaranteed rights at home.

“Now we know those couples will receive 1,324 rights that come with a New York state marriage license,” said Alan Van Capelle, the executive director of Empire State Pride Agenda, a gay advocacy group. Those rights cover such things as inheritance and adoption rules and shared health-care plans. “This is a big deal for New Yorkers who are desperately hungry to be able to protect the people that they love,” he added.

Now for the part about how this directive will make visitors and even citizens of New York safer. New York residents may be allowed a concealed carry permit if the proper authorities deem them to have sufficient need (on an individual basis.) Restrictions on concealed carry in New York certainly would limit the number of law-abiding citizens around the state who are prepared to defend themselves and others if someone less than law-abiding started firing a gun or perhaps assaulting a woman. If a person has a concealed carry permit from another state and he or she happens to be in New York, the governor’s directive surely means that he or she is permitted to carry the firearm within the borders of New York. Otherwise one might think that the libiot governor of New York is simply furthering the homosexual agenda and moving his state closer to gay marriages with this directive. Lets give Governor Patterson the benefit of the doubt here, since he likely just wants “fair” treatment of people and their “rights” as determined by other jurisdictions.

So citizens of New York should be more comfortable when they are out in public in the future. They should be grateful that if someone enters the post office or bank and starts firing a gun at innocent bystanders, they will stand a better chance of being protected. Even if there is no police presence or no New Yorker with a concealed carry permit, Gov. Patterson is setting the stage for a tourist to exercise his or her right to bear arms and possibly save the lives of who knows how many innocent people. Who would of thought that the libiot governor of New York would take such a common sense and safety conscious step?

I wonder if there is any oil under New York or off its shore? Certainly since some jurisdictions allow drilling, New York will recognize the rights to drill for oil as long as the company doing the drilling is based in or relocated from a jurisdiction where it is allowed. Perhaps more states should recognize the gay marriages of other states, think about the potential reduction in the price of gasoline if we could use our own oil!

How is the hunting and fishing in New York? More people than ever before should be able to find out now since this declaration has been made. People may have hunting and fishing licenses in other states but not in New York and now they needn’t worry about obtaining one in New York to enjoy these outdoor sporting activities. Who knew the libiot governor of New York was such a friend to sportsmen?

Hey wait a minute! Is this directive just a way to get around the drivers licenses for illegals issue? I know it was this libiot governor’s brothel customer, I mean predecessor who wanted to give licenses to illegals, but this may be a way to allow it to happen. As long as an illegal has a driver’s license from his home country, logic dictates that it would be recognized in New York. If this is the case I bet McCain will support this measure.

I wonder if polygamists in other nations will consider moving to New York now that their marriages will be recognized?
