Maggie's Farm

We are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for.

Second Thoughts

The Dutch Left rethinks "tolerance." (h/t, Insty) A quote:

"The multi-cultis just aren't making the running anymore. It's a brave step towards a new normalcy in this country. "

Given enough time, Reality always wins in the end.

NOTE Curli Meldon..avert gaze..dyspepsia..blah, blah

Government and politicians had too long failed to acknowledge the feelings of "loss and estrangement" felt by Dutch society facing parallel communities that disregard its language, laws and customs.

For the Dutch Left to issue this promunciamento speaks exactly to what I have stated here about a nation needing homogeneity in order to hold together it's values and traditions.

As for the inscription; the interior of the pedestal contains a bronze plaque inscribed with the poem "The New Colossus" by Emma Lazarus. It has never been engraved on the exterior of the pedestal, despite such depictions in editorial cartoons

I highly recommend the inscription be revised or removed and junked. We've taken in enough of the world's destitute. It is fitting the inscription is at least on the interior. Too bad the word got out.

The quickest way to get that hood off of the Klansmen's head/face is with a sharp utility knife.

I believe in every man's right to free speech. That's why I always free a man from his hood. I want him to truly enjoy free speech.

Every man deserves a voice.
