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.

The Manhattan Declaration

 Via FOX News:



More than 150 Christian leaders, most of them conservative evangelicals and
traditionalist Roman Catholics, issued a joint declaration reaffirming their
opposition to abortion and gay marriage and pledging to protect religious
freedoms.


The 4,700-word document, called "The Manhattan Declaration: A Call of
Christian Conscience," was unveiled one day before the Senate is expected to
consider it's sweeping health care bill that includes a measure permitting
abortion funding.

Read it, won't sign it. Separation of Church and State. The last thing America needs is organized religions which have caused nothing but travesty and hardship based on superstitions to use their influence in our government.

Signed it last night when I first read about it.

I guess it means I'll be next to some of you guys at an Obama re-education camp in a couple of years.

Nice find, Dog, thank you.

These lads are brave considering USA is "one of the largest Muslim countries in the world,"according to Khalifa Hussein0.

Perhaps, a Presidential candidate could be found amongst such a brave lot.
