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.

    1 in 4 Swedish Women Will Be Raped as Sexual Assaults Increase 500%


    A Miami Clinic Supplies Drugs to Sports' Biggest Names


    Eggs not bad for you and the NYT is on it


    Student Loan Bubble Update: "This Situation Is Simply Unsustainable"


    Preaching to the Choir on Housing - At last week’s debate, New York’s mayoral candidates sang the same old chorus.


    If NYC deregulated housing, there would be affordable housing for everybody. Classic example of a government fix of a temporary problem creating a permanent shortage problem. Markets work when government stays out of the way.


    Will we learn from Britain and France?


    Robert Reich: Walmart, McDonalds and Every Hospital in America Should Unionize


    Want to Save Money on Health Care? Do Less of It. A Lot Less.


    Docs can't "do less" without tort reform. Defensive medicine is a huge factor in medicine today. Many claim it's 30-50% of billings. Other major wastes? Most preventive medicine, and annual physicals. Studies prove it.


    Department of Awful Statistics: Are Mass Shootings Really On the Rise? They're not, but the alarmist numbers are more likely to get media attention.

    MSNBC Busted AGAIN For Deceptively Editing Video To Make Conservatives Look Bad

    Time For Reform And Rethinking On Immigration


    While GOP leaders push amnesty, Dems rope more immigrants into welfare state

    Poll: Majority of Americans Favor Citizenship for Illegal Immigrants


    Five reasons Republicans won't win Latino voters with immigration reform:



    By a 75% to 19% margin, Latinos are more likely to believe in a bigger government, with more services, to a smaller one. President Obama got 75% of the Latino vote in the LD election eve poll – a perfect match.



    Only somebody like Rubio can preach the American gospel to hispanic immigrants. Past large waves of immigrants (Swedes, Jews, Irish, Poles, Italians, Cubans) got the memo, but in the era of big government, this wave doesn't get it.
