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.

Calling out the mob

Dems call on the tough guys to deal with the Brooks Brothers mob. Isn't it called "astroturfing" when you bus in organized groups - and pay them for a day's work?


Now I see why the DNC falsely accused the protesters and questioners yesterday - and again today. It was to provide some cover for their astroturf plans. They will bus in their ACORN geniuses too (who are notably supported by billions in government funds) along with the union thugs.


Truth is, those who have been showing up in the Town Halls thus far have been regular people who are worried about government plans, and who have gotten to the meetings under their own steam and without a day's pay.

I'm turning myself in. Has it been suggested by either any of the Footsoldiers of Sanity that we all just turn ourselves in by e-mailing our own personal confessions, at a specifically predetermined (organized, even) hour to the White House enemies list? A wee-bit of cyberassault?

Dear Obama,

I hereby confess that I am opposed to your health care scheme and will endeavor to do whatever it takes to stop its imposition. Not being the tool of an insurance industry executive, I am not clear exactly how to word this, but basically I wish to tell you that you can take your agenda and shove it where the ol' thermometer used to go.

Love and kisses,
Your humbler servant,
-T. Baggin Brooks Bros.

Dear Mr. T-Baggin Brooks Bros.

Thank you for your fine confession and willingness to do whatever it takes to stop this health imposition. We have the duty of reading all the emails of confession that come to the WH, and we would like to ask you to please start a brawl at the next tea party with the astroturfers. Please don't tell we begged this of you as we work for The Messiah.

Yours sincerely,

The Sisters of Mercy

P.S. As for your confession, start a riot and you are free of sin. No hail Marys necessary. Thank you.

Commie-pinko-liberals always accuse you of that they've been doing ...

How long can the inevitable be postponed? For Obama and his thugs, a loss here is not an option.

yup, nothing like a little lib projection to keep things interesting.
W and his administration didn't resort to calling protesters nazis or trying to stifle the debate.

Here's an interesting, although too brief comparison between the two.

The last I heard was that the ONE, was scheduled to come to Portsmouth, N.H on Tuesday, August 11th.

That's a ten minute ride for me.
I already have a brown shirt, but I seem to have misplaced my swastikas.

Does anybody know where I can pick up some Swastikas?

Heh... you can probably print them out, Jappy. They'd go real sharp up against the whiteness of the sheep. And that seems a kind of justice... liberal asses being confronted by Swastika adorned sheep.

Hmm, shouldn't that be Innsmouth? No, wait, that was H.P.Lovecraft and his Cthulhu books.

Now, why would I think of that when thinking of his Oneness?

from wiki:
the thread is finished and whoever mentioned the Nazis has automatically "lost" whatever debate was in progress. This principle itself is frequently referred to as Godwin's Law.

Yeah, but if it looks like a Nazi, sounds like a Nazi and acts like a Nazi...
