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.

    From Corrupt Pols Running America’s Biggest Nanny State:



    In New York, the government has its finger in every pie, and politics is full of hypocritical blue swill about helping the poor and the needy. New York has a government that wants to do what it shouldn’t do, that can’t do what it ought to do, and that has been hijacked by a criminal class of political hacks. This is what blue model decline looks like.



    Why Is North Korea Our Problem?


    The gussying up of (Hillary) Clinton’s standing is one of the silliest political exercises of our time.


    Smartest woman in the world. Went to Wellesley, after all. Fancy chick college, studied Alinsky.


    Good growth in the Mexican economy


    But it's illegal for Americans to emigrate to Mexico. Mexico does not permit immigration, but they may change their mind if they have too many jobs that Mexicans won't do.


    The US Navy's Rail Gun


    Hinderaker on entitlement reform:



    That’s what the Left has come to: a reactionary force, determined to uphold an unjust status quo against even the slightest reform. Champions of the wealthiest segment of American society, out to screw the young. But it is hard to see a successful endgame: the entitlements simply cannot be sustained in anything like their present form. That is a mathematical proposition, not a political one.



     Stats via Ace:



    All rifles (that includes the AR-15) were involved in fewer homicides in 2011 than blunt objects, fists and knives.
    1.5X more homicides were committed with blunt objects.
    2.2X more homicides were committed with fists.
    5.2X more homicides were committed with knives.



    It's definitely time for a national fist registry
