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.

Winning the hearts and minds of Americans and Jews around the world.

Such calm and reasonable debate...I especially like the one invective of "back to the ovens"...nice.

And "nuke Israel"...believe me, if they had more than the Qassams and Katushas, they would. So much for "proportionality"...

Me, I'll stand with Israel.

Happy New Year Bird Dog, Barrister, and all the residents of Maggie's Farm.

And best of luck to us all in 2009.

I think those at the rally represent the moderate Muslims. What a wonderful religion. Full of peace, and love. They all warm the cockles of my heart. Not a bit of hate in the whole lot. Their at peace with everyone in the world!

"Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free.
The wretched refuse of your teaming shore.
Send these, the homeless, the tempest-tossed to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door."

Emma Lazarus - A Jew who was very troubled by the treatment of the Jews. Little did she know we'd get the wretched refuse.

I agree with Pat Buchanan on one thing - stop letting these people into our country.

As one who has fought for freedom of religion it distresses me to say that I would make an exception for that particular belief system. Scenes such as this and the values depicted therein bring nothing of good or positive value to this country and will lead to our dissolution and ruin if something is not done.

Thing is, is that I'm not sure anything can be done given the very precepts under and upon which this country has survived and thrived. I will say that watching that film brought up thoughts that those folks would not at all appreciate.

Those folks would never be able to sit quietly and silently long enough to listen to something like this--

Have a Happy New Year.

And, by the way, all those boys with their foreheads on the concrete need a couple bowls of lentils beforehand.

An evil people. We have done ourselves great harm by letting these dogs of Mohamed into this nation.

How many of these people can be deported?
#9 Jim on 2008-12-31 20:24 (Reply)
Probably most of them for some good or bad reason. Either way any muslim POS that stands on a street corner screaming this racist bs should be deported and I'd throw in the whole ANSWER org, be they citizens or not. Just watched the end of Saving Private Ryan and thought of the earlier post about the "US-Israel are the real terrorists" protest and got all po'd all over again.

On the other hand, I have personally known several muslims who are good, decent people whom I could not see being anywhere near this sort of bs. Of course I am prepared to be surprised just as I have been in the way-past when a mic friend-of-a-friend turned out to be an IRA terrorist sympathizer. I have an Irish friend who spoke ill of a very nice Egyptian co-worker, calling her and all Egyptians terrorists. If I had been driving that day he would have walked back to work.

Never black and white. We tend to react to the mean, for better or worse. There's a lesson there, but I'll be damned if I know what it is.

"I will stand with them (the muslims) should the political winds turn in an ugly direction."

Obama, from his book

Yes, the magic negro did write this.

If one reviews the context, it is evident he is ready to stand with the muslims in opposition to American interests.

Sneakyest Muslims are the Shites, who hold to a principle of denying Islam when they are in dar al Hab (territory of the the infidel).

Remind yall of anyone?

It surprised me when I first read this Hussein statement of solidarity with Muhammadans against American interests because he is usually lying.

But having spent much time amongst the Islamic slaves I have noted that even liars once in awhile will tell ya straight up what evil has their brians possessed.

Read with some care what the president elect actually did say rather than spew your hatred out against a fine guy who will be a great president after the 8 years of disaster we have had under the outgoing guy.
#10.1.1 joe hill on 2009-01-05 17:00 (Reply)
Why do we want these people in our country?

Why do we tolerate open and disgusting incitement to violence? I would think there would be arrests if a pack of white people went around demanding the nuking and killing of Arabs known as palestinians living in a part of the region known as Palestine.

The strategic beauty of Israel pulling out of Gaza is that moronic chants about 'occupation is illegal' now are meaningless. There is no 'occupation' of Gaza except by corrupt, murderous thugs and depraved human animals.

I hope we have law enforcement monitoring these animals.
