Will the Real New Yorkers Please Rise?

I so enjoy any column by Ms. Colon. The latest regarding New Yorkers and the left was another where I find myself nodding and agreeing and even cheering at times. Funny thing is, I'm a Christian "Fundamentalist" from the midwest (extreme northern Minnesota). I and others like me, are the brunt of all jokes, the lowest of the low, the sub-human even. Thanks, Ms. Colon, for recognizing that there are Americans like us out here, but more importantly, there in New York City as well.
