Andrew Cuomo would never be caught dead describing an actual jihad as a “jihad,” because he is committed, like all the Democrats, to the false claim that Islam is a religion of peace that has nothing whatsoever to do with terrorism, and that jihad is an interior spiritual struggle. But he feels free to use the word in a negative manner to denigrate President Trump and his immigration policies. Doesn’t that make Cuomo a racist-islamophobic-anti-Muslim-bigot? The hypocrisy of the left is stunning. This shows that Cuomo actually does have a negative view of jihad, but he would never dare admit that explicitly. It would mean the end of his political career in this fantasy-loving age.
“Cuomo: Trump Admin. Is on a ‘Jihad to Deport as Many People’ as Possible,” by Haris Alic, Daily Caller, July 24, 2018 (thanks to Todd):
Story continues below advertisement
New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D.) compared the Trump administration’s efforts to crackdown on illegal immigration to the zealotry of Jihad, an Arabic word describing a holy war waged on behalf of Islam as a religious duty.
Cuomo made the comments while in Puerto Rico on Monday, where the governor had journeyed with a delegation of New York elected officials, students, and labor leaders to observe recovery efforts undertaken since Hurricanes Maria and Irma ravaged the island last year.
During a press briefing to publicize his visit, the governor was asked about his decision to issue a pardon to seven illegal immigrants residing in New York that were facing deportation by federal law enforcement for “minor convictions.”
The governor justified his actions, claiming the Trump administration had launched a “crusade” against those they do not “consider original Americans.”
“This administration is on a crusade against people who they do not consider original Americans,” Cuomo said. “Which is specious and hypocritical at best [because] unless you’re a member of a Native American tribe, then you’re really an immigrant to the United States.”
The pardons, which were issued on Monday, marked the third time Cuomo has intervened using his gubernatorial authority to shield illegal immigrants from “potential deportation.”
Citing what had been done in “Puerto Rico” and “at the border,” the governor claimed President Donald Trump and his administration were waging a “Jihad” on illegal immigrants.
“They are on a Jihad to deport as many people as they can who they believe are not in the United States legally,” Cuomo said….

Cuomo basically is giving an F-U to the people of Texas who were also affected by last year’s hurricanes – and who are likewise trying to rebuild. He and the rest of the Democrats act as though Puerto Rico was the ONLY place so affected, and therefore should get ALL the attention at the expense of other states that suffered damage in last year’s hurricane season. And I’ve said this before, but it is as if the Democrats wanted the hurricane to hit so as to justify their further stacking our borders and tipping the demographic balance with those people, who would monolithically vote Democrat – another consequence of the 1965 changes to immigration laws (thank you, Teddy “Chappaquiddick” Kennedy) that helped get us to this point. Notice how the media’s attitude towards Puerto Ricans in this country contrasts with that towards those who came here to flee Castro’s island gulag of Cuba since the Communist takeover in 1959.

It’s all about POWER and the VOTE.
They want ILLEGALS to vote.
The hope is with enough of them voting we will always have a LIBERAL running our country into the ground with DEMS doing it.

ALL ILLEGALS need to be deported!

Muslims need to be DEPORTED too!
Where ever there are MUSLIMS, there is Muslim terrorism.

But .. but …. but …. Isn’t “jihad” nothing more than an internal spiritual path? That’s what Democrat Party members have been telling us for two decades.

Notice what DEMS are doing with LANGUAGE.
They are debasing WORDS through misusing them and making them meaningless. Jihad in theological Islam means “holy war”. It means a “holy war” war against the infidel.
Trump is simply ENFORCING the LAW.
There is no “struggle” or “holy war” going on when you are DEPORTING people who are here ILLEGALLY. Remember he who DEFINES the argument, wins the argument! They are trying to make words meaningless through misusing what they mean!
Notice how they are redefining the word “traitor”.
Definition of traitor
1 : one who betrays another’s trust or is false to an obligation or duty
2 : one who commits treason
Trump is not a “traitor”. Benedict Arnold is a “traitor”.
Julius and Ethel Rosenberg, Robert Hanssen, Nidal Malik Hasan , John Walker, Jr. etc are well know “traitors” using the proper definition of the word.
Here is a list of U.S. well known U.S. traitors:

If the left’s position on Jihad is that it is a noble endeavor, isn’t Andy actually congratulating Trump on waging this Jihad?.

The left can’t decide, they are torn between jihad is a legitimate reaction to the evils of Western imperialism and Christianity, and between the argument that jihad is not truly Islamic.

Ironic that the left uses the term “jihad” when all they have done is excuse or downplay its evils time and time again.

Once we get all the illegals out can we start on the immorals?

The definition of ILLEGAL is a crime has been committed. People who are in US or any country ILLEGALLY should be deported. Anything else if unfair to those who got through proper channels to migrate.
The USA is awash with criminal gangs from Central and South America. Supported of course by the citizenry’s thirst for drugs

Yet another plus for the Trump Administration. Why should illegals be allowed to remain in the US?

Cuomo should worry about the taxpayers in his State that he has turned into a 3rd World $#!&hole! Hopefully his illegal activities, raping the taxpayers is just one, will see justice now that $#!&head Schneiderman is out!!!
