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.

What is equality? AmThinker


WH: We control the media


Obama’s $787 Billion Stimulus “Created or Saved” 20 Jobs in Connecticut, 28 Jobs in Vermont & 22 Jobs in New Hampshire


Health reform:



The bill creates a new health entitlement program that the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) estimates will grow over the longer term at a rate of 8% annually, which is much faster than the growth rate of the economy or tax revenues. This is the same growth rate as the House bill that Sen. Kent Conrad (D., N.D.) deep-sixed by asking the CBO to tell the truth about its impact on health-care costs.



Sad but true: Everybody wants something from big government. I want a pony.


Also, I want my reality back.


FOX has really gotten inside Obama's head.


Is Obama anti-American? h/t, Doug Ross

"Is Obama anti-American?"

Is the Pope a Catholic?

Anti-American in the Howard Zinn way: taking every advantage of our blessings while hating it.

Good one, buddy.

My favorite two political philosopher's are Vito Coreleone and Eliot Ness.
NJ you can't have that pony. I asked for it first a long time ago.
You can't be Spartacus either, that's Jephnol, or the King of Sicily, that's Roger.
All the Knights are me.
You might be able to get the baby elephant with the blue ball. Meta gave him to the Salvation Army, because he was shitting on her rugs.

I AM Spartacus! (I want a pony, too).

Eliot Ness? Did you actually say 'Eliot Ness'? whoa. Oh man, I was so in love with him, I would have been one of his 'touchables'. No wonder none of my relationships lasted. :)

Do you know who Mike Baker is? FOX has him on occasionally. He's former CIA in business for himself now. Wow. He reminds me of Eliot Ness. I must have a thing for quiet tough guys.

Yes, Obama is anti-American. The horrifying reality to that is the other world leaders know it, and those who will, will use it.

One question, News Junkie. How the heck can you "save" a job? You personally may be able to save your own, but how can you tell if a number of jobs in the thousands have been "saved?" That's another pseudo-statistic which all of you actual statisticians out there ought to be protesting about.

Just another way the politicians are trying to manipulate us.

Jephnol ... You want a pony, too? Only if you promise to clean up after it. And that's a harder job than you think.

Is Obama anti-American? Yes, he is, and we knew it last year. He wants an America that is diminished, tamed, obedient. He wants American citizens diminished, tamed, obedient, herded at the convenience of his minions.
I hope it will fail. But the Canadian and Australian examples are the ones to look at, and they indicate that promises of goodies may produce a population that selects masters instead of servants.
