Maggie's FarmWe 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. |

The country has not voted to turn itself into Mexico. Perhaps not, although election results contradict her. California sure has.
Eris Guy, if I may take the liberty of disagreeing with you, back when Cal was a red state, voters tried two or three times through voter initiatives to block benefits and such for illegal aliens but they were struck down by lefty judges as unconstitutional. In the end, every attempt by the voters to slow the flow of illegals was frustrated by the courts. We have an identical problem on a national scale.
A huge part of our problem nationwide stems from progressive judges deciding aliens were entitled to the rights guaranteed in the Constitution for American citizens. It is a position I believe the American people strongly disagree with. Which party opposes benefits for illegals and wants to seal the border? Neither of them. So what can be done? So we need a new party? Or someone who speaks English at my local hospital. Pick one.
Nothing can be done. It seems likely that we will indeed have amnesty for the 11-20 million illegals (some say it will be 30 million). The amnesty in concert with our unwillingness to control our borders will end the American experiment and we will become a 3rd world country. The ONLY reason that there are 11-20 million illegals here today is because of the 1986 amnesty. This was the lure, the bait, the incentive for all those people to cme to this country. They knew that sooner or later we would "fix" the problem with another amnesty. So what will happen is we will get amnesty and another 20 million more or less left wing voters who do not put Amwerica first and want open borders and within a decade there will be another 20 milion illegals demanding amnesty then another 20 milion and another etc. In the end it will be impossible to have welfare and free health care without seizing everyone's assets. And in the resistance to this knew socialized America those of you unwilling to give up your homes, savings, retirements and incomes to fund this brave new world will be resented and labeled racists and worse. There is a name for you; Kulaks, and there is a final solution as well...
Once our new glorious Socialist civilization has taken hold, why should the old believers be treated any better than Cathars or Kulaks?
In a civilized society it might be possible to tolerate dissenters, but the 20th century (and now the 21st) revealed the true nature of Socialist societies. Expecting such a society to be any different in NY than in the USSR, Nazi Germany, or Cuba is delusional. "Global Warming A Back Door To Socialism"
They get the gold mine, we get the shaft ====Cuomo: Pro-life people have “no place in the state of New York” Nice. How soon will this be so true? New York, no place for those who want to live. "High School Teaches Children “Oral Sex” and “Anal Sex” Are Ways to Express Feelings"
Is it just me or does it seem like the curriculum has been hacked by a bunch of 12-yr old nerds? QUOTE: Girls have feelings, so let's hack the school computer and change the lesson plan so they teach girls that oral and anal sex are ways to express those feelings. Then we get laid. - Howard Wolowitz., age 12 Obviously some guys older than 12 aren't getting what they want. I gave up last year when Northwestern University announced an extracurricular session demonstrating how to use a reciprocating saw fitted with a dildo to enhance the sexual experience.
How romantic… Well, on the bright side, they're at least introducing some tool skills to the curriculum.
No, No, No....don't import any wolves!!! Once you do, their numbers will grow and then you will need a "season" on them. Then the left wing moonbats will protest that you can't hunt the poor darlins'...happened in Wisconsin.
Steve Madison, WI-the Midwestern San Francisco The wolves are gone because people moved in and hunted them out of existence. If you wonder why people would do such a thing ask someone who lives in an area where they have been re-introduced. It gets absurd at times the way Maggie's Farm tries to blame all the ills of the world on farmers. You spend a smaller percent of your income on food than anywhere else in the world. Stop whining.
"Teach the kids to be monkeys. That's an easy job. In the olden days, education was about an aspiration to being something more than a monkey."
Monkeys are much easier to train and subjugate than people that can think. That's the point of government schools these days - preparing the baby serfs for their careers in serfdom. I agree with Matt Walsh on sex ed. As for teaching kids the sexual ways to express their feelings, I think a lot of them are only expressing one: horniness.
I agree with Matt, too, Steve. I'm one who believes that responsibility for educating youth about sex-issues belongs properly with parents.
Still, the problem with denying our behavioral similarities to other social apes is, when it is taken to the extreme (as both Marxist and Catholic dialectics do), it disarms the populace of the ability to identify the Left's resort to coercive tactics devised from the sciences of anthropology and cross-species studies of comparative behaviors. Like, don't like, or be ambivalent about, our species grounding in an archaic, sometimes ugly, genetic legacy. But, please don't dumb-down the people so they are unable to recognize the archaic, silver-back's arm-waving and branch-breaking, and the shrieked alarms of beta-males aping at imagined crises (both of which are on display on any day of the week in media and politics in Modern America, today). Any refuge gained by sheltering in this quaint denial can only be temporary, as the resultant ignorance it will foster in the young must render them vulnerable to the Left's scientific tactics of simian coercion in the end. Sorry, Possums! Chomsky and Alinsky and Marx were observant Primatologists whose subjects of study were modern Humans. I'm a giver, And I'm just telling it as it is! By dumbing down the population, the rioting mob grows. At some point the elites lose control and the mob destroys the elite. At some point, technology can no longer be maintained. and the ruling power becomes the biggest and strongest.
I will agree with evolutionists, they are descended from apes; on the other hand I think I was created. :) Paullie "The Beard" Krugman was against UI just a short time ago? I. Am. Shocked! Not at all surprised or amazed, though.
Many Americans believe that Climate "Scientists" are too stupid to understand Global Warming. |
