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.

Watch out, America

Via Synthstuff, the wonderful Daniel Hannan, MP, delivers a warning to America this week. Why isn't this guy the Tory leader?

It's too bad we can't import him.

I did not see a teleprompter. He actually understands the facts, the logic and can communicate. Imagine someone who can think and speak.

He's too great to be the Tory leader. In fact, the actual Conservative leader Cameron admonished him and called him a "traitor" last week for his criticism of Brit healthcare on US TV.

This guy has leader written all over him. He has a way of building a coalition through shared values that we have not seen since Reagan. Wasn't he born in Hawaii?

"Wasn't he born in Hawaii?"

Hahaha... perhaps we could 'arrange' for that to have been the case.

Daniel can't be Tory leader because he is not a member of the British Parliament, he's a member of the European Parliament. Which, if you are familiar with his views, is a touch ironic.
