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.

More Thanksgiving politics

From A Guide To Talking Politics At The Thanksgiving Table:



Living among outspoken, educated liberals who worship at the altar of diversity, yet react with shock and horror when confronted by opposing viewpoints, is a constant challenge. It’s especially difficult for someone who enjoys a good verbal joust even more than sports junkies love watching steroid-enhanced musclemen bash each other while chasing a pigskin ball.

Most conservatives are just as hostile towards different viewpoints as are liberals.
Many of them are always ready to scream there "should be a law against it" when they see anything they don't like, be it a religious expression that doesn't match what their own priest preaches, someone who's open about their sexual feelings which don't match the "sex once a week, missionary position only, lights out" mantra imposed by the 15th century church, etc., etc.

Second Banana, with a flourish opens the envelope and reads aloud the answer "Oostoo B'basta".

Carnac the Magnificent, having already helt the envelope against his forehead for a brief pair o' normal seconds, intones the question "what is the sound of 'You stupid b-bastard' shouted with a mouthful of turkey and dressing?"
