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.

Preach it, Gov Christie!

A quote from his interview:



You know what that rally was? The "me first" rally. "Pay me my raise first. Pay me my free health benefits first. Pay me my pension first. And everybody else in New Jersey, get to the back of the line."  Well, you know what? I'm not going to sit by and allow that to go unnoticed, so we'll shine a bright light on it, and we'll see how the people react. But I think we are seeing how the people of New Jersey are reacting, and that's how you make it politically palatable in other states in the country. Just shine a bright light on greed and self-interest."



It's the right time to take on the greed of government unions. Somebody's got to do it before every Dem state goes bankrupt. As I always say, the marriage between government unions and the Dem party is an intrinsically corrupt conspiracy against the people.

I love this guy! He and Ryan are my dream ticket for the "12" election. They could call it Brains and Brawn."

Hot damn! When they were giving away the shots for common sense this guy must have made a merry-go-round out of the lineup and OD`ed on the stuff!!!

Yes, a Christie-Ryan ticket in '12 would be a helluva lot of fun. The issues would be dealt with head on and it would put those GD, lying, Democrat thieves on the defensive from the get-go. Take no prisoners, they need to be shamed into submission and defeat on a national scale. Go for it.

How about using RICO to break up this unholy alliance that is putting us all in the poorhouse? Yes, time for congressional witch hunts to bring these crooks to heel. Yes, bring back Joe McCarthy....he was right then and Hiss and those red lovers knew it.....that was why he had to be destroyed....plus ca change....Oh, and make the blue states red, and the red states blue, like they were the first time around in the '80's until the MSM changed them under pressure from the liberals who feared they would be tagged with the "red" association...does anyone remember that little MSM switcheroo?
