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.

Triangulation won't work

Our antique server broke down. Nothing a little duct tape and baling wire couldn't fix. Sorry.


This from Dick Morris on Why Triangulation Won't Work This Time:




Obama's programs have been so far-reaching and fundamental that any compromise would leave the nation far to the left of where it's always been and wants to be. When he took office, government (federal, state and local combined) controlled 35 percent of the US economy -- 15th among the two-dozen advanced countries. Now, it controls 44.7 percent, ranking us 7th, ahead of Germany and Britain. So where's the compromise -- leave government in control of, say, 40 percent?

There's no compromise with marxism.

The server is still flaky - took me three tries to get to the comments section - serendipity database errors.

Where's Doc Mercury when you need him? :>)

PS: Three tries to get past the spam trap if this processes - probably on my end - maybe...

Great compromise:

a) wants to murder you
b) IS you

compromise @

c) you agree that you will NOT be murdered, but that (a) gets to take your goods, amputate one arm and one leg, and put out one eye with a red hot poker.
