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.

Tea Partay

Juan Williams gets quite a few facts wrong but he is beginning to get it.


AP’s Fournier: Relax, it’s just a Tea Party


Whoa… 4 in 10 Tea Party Protesters Are Democrats or Independent


Rep. Cleaver backs away from spitting claim


Neoneo: It is difficult to demonize tea partiers.


Indeed it is, neo. My pup's scarey violent Tea Partay (with potentially lethal croquet) a couple of years ago:

And the other shoe drops -
Representative John Lewis claimed that someone shouted the N***** word at him. Representative Emanuel Cleaver claimed that, at the same time, someone spat on him. Lewis decried the absence of videos so that he could show the world how abused...

Have you been reading what former Labor Secretary Robert Reich has been writing on his blogsite in the past few days?:

He's sounding absolutely racist.

Especially check out his columns on "Greenspan, Summers, and Why the Economy is So Out of Whack," and "No Jobs Recovery."

setting up scapegoats for his boss obama. Summers is leaving this summer, rumor is, and Greenspan has to appear before the financial crisis inquiry board, or something, coming up soon. Along with the main man Robert Rubin, of Clinton Treasury and Citigroup. Lehman investigation via SEC is heating up, too --tho last Friday at 5pm the feds leaked word, no criminal prosecutions at AIG.

As we wait with bated breath to see, will O's forces get it all whitewashed, or will incipient fear of Tea cause some truth to shamble out?

Those 4 in 10 Dems/Indys must the racist ones, 'cause ya know the POTUS is colored don't ya know and the only possible disagreement with him is due to his color, 'cause he's colored and we're racist bigots.
