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. |

Michigan Lawmakers Want Homeschooled Children Registered Like Dogs and Inspected by Social Workers
I have a better idea. Make it mandatory for parents- to- be to get a license in order to procreate. Prescreening and home inspections can be done by 65 IQ TSA (type) agents, for a nominal fee of course. and instead of educating children on stranger-danger, the state can instruct children on proper parenting and narcing on your parents when they try to stuff you into a freezer. - major sarcasm btw. Rowing Team's Practice Is Disrupted By A Particularly Invasive Species Of Fish BWHAAAHAHAHA! that was highly enjoyable. thank you. Tyler Durden: Why Europe Lets People Drown ... The body count is rising, and Brussels itself will never call it quits. It really is high time to halt this unholy union.
Several hundred die every year crossing into the U.S. from Mexico, and that's a land bridge. It's really high time to halt this unholy union of states. It's more than reasonable to criticize the EU for dithering on the issue, but it's apparent the writer is only using the refugees crisis as a bludgeon for a premeditated attack on the EU. Dissolving the EU would do nothing to stem the flow of refugees, and would make coordinated action even more difficult. semi-true.
What coordination? there is none. But the EU is a joke anyway. Many, likely most of us, would like to see our borders controlled, but Democrats and Obama are dead set against that, and the GOP isn't fighting for it.
As I have been suggesting to you folks for several years now--ASU is a strong leader in the National Network of Female Abusers . That is to say they hate men, our constitution, our Bill of Rights, and our sense of fair play. Here's something you missed! Enjoy the read--but never ever forget the visual!

New York Judge Grants 2 Chimps Legal Personhood. Are the chimps now subject to the various and sundry PC mandates, e.g. shall fling their poo at humans without regard for their race, ethnicity, sexual preference, economic status, veteran status, disability....?
updated story, the court removed the reference to habeas corpus
the court was nowhere near granting any such thing, and then this: QUOTE: Science has just learned that the court order referred to in this story has been amended. The words “writ of habeas corpus” have been struck out, suggesting that the court has made no decision on whether Hercules and Leo—two research chimpanzees at Stony Brook University in New York—deserve to be treated as legal persons. Will Minimum Wage Protesters Order Fries From Their Burger-Flipping Robot Replacements?
the libtard purpose isn't to employ people at $15/hr, the point is to make the talking point that min. wage is now $15/hr. Actual consequences like labor pricing itself out of the market aren't important. Clichesexual : people who are aroused by a pathological urge to label, pigeonhole and stereotype themselves while demonizing anyone else who does.
Trendsexual, one who is whatever seems right at the moment.
e.g. a trendsexual would be a diplomat when traveling and thus bypass many nuisances other travellers endure. And a disabled person when parking. And his own twin to allow driving in the car-pool lane. And a physician when prescribing drugs. These are examples of why I left the GOP.
McConnell introduces bill to extend NSA surveillance - The Washington Post http://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/mcconnell-introduces-bill-to-extend-nsa-surveillance/2015/04/21/fa4b66aa-e89d-11e4-aae1-d642717d8afa_story.html And Watch: Boehner kisses Pelosi on cheek at ‘doc fix’ celebration | TheHill From the article: "The “doc fix” bill demonstrates one of the first big compromises so far of the GOP-controlled Congress, which Obama said he hoped to see more often. “Most importantly, I just to thank everyone for showing that Republicans and Democrats can come together, put aside partisanship, not just on must-dos, but on things that actually make the country work better,” he said. The event, which featured a five-piece band, included dozens of members. In addition to lawmakers, guests included Health and Human Services Secretary Sylvia Mathews Burwell and White House senior aide Valerie Jarrett." http://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/news/239614-watch-boehner-kisses-pelosi-on-cheek-at-doc-fix-celebration Well, feeblemind, way to harsh my mellow. That's enough to make a person loose their appetite. There's something new everyday to grind my teeth down. Good grief.
Highly recommend Journal of a Residence on a Georgia Plantation and Fanny Kemble's other works. See my post here:
http://chicagoboyz.net/archives/46824.html ...which links to several posts referencing, reviewing, and excerpting her work. Refugee resettlement: Why? Do we really need more people? Dowe need more welfare recipients (a refugee family costs about $5000 a month and they never get off the dole)? Do we need more people who don't speak our language, don't want to assimilate and don't like us? This is suicide. Who is behind this push? A few politicians and a few NGO's. Why? MONEY ! Citizenships are being bought and sold and deals are made to take hundreds of thousands of refugees with silver crossing the palms of poiticians. We should take ZERO refugees and zero illegal aliens. Adopt Australia's policy of never giving them residence or citizenship. Fight to deport regardless of the cost. Send them back regardless of how they got here or how long they have been here. This is nothing more than forcing citizens to pay the costs of their own demise. This will destroy the middle class and create the third world America. It is insane...
Welcome to the reality of life in Texas, and as I understand, all the southern border states. We're already experiencing this.
"Where your 2014 taxes went"
This should be easy, the data is avaiable down to the penny. But the chart linked seems to be intentionally incorrect as though someone had an agenda. Actual military spending was 23% not 27% Actual interest paid was 7% not 15.3% Actual welfare was 11% but missing from the chart Actual education spending was 3% but no one was educated. So why is the data on the chart linked so different from what the government web site reports? http://www.usgovernmentspending.com/year_spending_2014USbf_16bs2n#usgs302 |
