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 Libertarians are trying to take over the world so that they can leave everyone the hell alone.
Thanks Mary, but it's not mine... I learnt it on the intertubes... As Birthday Boy Bob once opined in an epic tale, "Oh if there’s an original thought out there, I could use it right now..."
"Back-to-the-’50s Interest Rates"
It is an odd time. It is somewhat like going to the doctor with an enormous lump growing out of your abdomen and a rash all over your body and having the doctor tell you to go home take two aspirins and call in the morning. The low interest rates, the irrational exuberence of the stock market, the constant high inflation that the government denies and covers up, the 50 million on food stamps (equivalent of long lines of people waiting for a meal, the printing of money in the trillions and denial of it, the massive unprecedented borrowing of trillions, the lack of an actual budget for 6 years... The world is falling apart some of the experts, those not working for the government are scared and sounding the alarm, but many experts, mostly those working for the government, are telling us it's all right, don't worry your pretty little head. The pundits and politicians are averting their gaze and changing the subject to gay marriage or racial discrimination that must be trumped up while the truth is hidden just to make it plausable. To many it feels like we are going to hell in a hand basket, the president is golfing while America and the world burns. The media; the MSM who protected by the constitution exactly so they could report the truth, the facts so that the people could be informed, bend over backwards to lie to us and hide the facts. Our congress is powerless except to enrich themselves and pass more repressive laws and regulations. The EPA and virtually every government department has been hijacked by leftist agendized groups whose primary goal seems to be destruction of the U.S. Legal and illegal immigration is out of control and every immigrant to this country some how must be supported at a cost of about $5000 a month while taxes to the actual citizens must go up to pay for all of this. The Democrat master plan is to flood the country with immigrants and give them free stuff for life to create a permenent underclass who while vote Democrat for generations. No care or concern for the American middle class who must work two jobs to pay for these new Democrat voters/leeches. It is an incomprehensible and impossible scenario that more belongs in a scifi comedy/farce but it is real. But you cannot say it is real or talk the truth and if you do the left will pull you down, destroy you on the internet and dump you on the trash pile. It's like the ending of Thelma and louise just before we drive over the cliff at full speed. GWTT, you are a bit disjointed this AM but I get your drift. The chickens are coming home to roost. The shit is real and it is all coming down. "A hard rain's a gonna fall."
Eventually it is going to revert to who is the baddest cat in the alley--just like it has always been. Nothing new under the sun. Be ready. Shalom I too have my MossChester Winblaster 5000 pump shotgun, with three point tactical sling, ghost sights, laser sights, tactical bipod, tactical 20" tube magazine, tactical finish, tactical heat shield, tactical bayonet lug, tactical folding stock and decoder ring, for when the FEMA ISIS dudes come a-knockin'.
Stream of consciousness thing. I really should compose it and think about it a little. Point taken.
Open slave markets with hundreds of naked, captive young girls.
Where are the headlines? The girls families murdered and their homes burnt down or occupied by their murderers. Where are the leaders of the western democracies? Where are the millions of Christians that used to live in these lands on the southern shore of the Mediterranean? Why does no one remember? What happened to the heart, spirit and conscience of Europe and America? The UN isn't going to fix this, and I'm afraid neither are we. Well, I can't answer for anyone but me. I have lost heart and spirit (and youth). I am stuck in the vicious thought circle that GWTW is in and although I feel much guilt and anger over the last few years' global atrocities, I feel powerless to affect any of it. I am in Texas, and my vote on the national level isn't even worth 1 vote in a blue state. Probably too old to fight as well. Will be among the first casualties.
I feel powerless to affect any of it.
of course you feel powerless to affect ISIS, that's what predator drones are for, if the problem were fixable, which is isn't. you say you feel guilt, but what are you guilty of? you didn't cause that disaster in north africa/ syria/ iraq/ somalia/ whatever'istan and you can't fix it. Now I'm speaking to the generic "you" and not you personally. this endless handwringing and whining about the state of the world today seems to point to one of two things. 1. either there's some real mental health issue, like depression, in which case ISIS and the demoncraps aren't the problem and the sufferer should seek professional help, or, 2. telling yourself that being unable to prevent rapes or child abuse, stop hunger, or address social problems in Syria is a personal excuse for you not to volunteer at the shelter for abused women the next town over. is it because the raped Syrian woman who you'll never lay eyes on is thus an innocent Christian women worthy of your deepest thoughts whereas the black woman in the shelter who you'd actually have to see face to fact no doubt votes democrat, even if she's not a citizen? or it could be that in the minds of many, complaining on the internet is he equivalent of actually feeding the hungry, clothing the naked, visiting the imprisoned, in which case you'll have your defense all ready when your God gives you the sheep/goats test. or it could be that in the minds of many, complaining on the internet is he equivalent of actually feeding the hungry, clothing the naked, visiting the imprisoned, in which case you'll have your defense all ready when your God gives you the sheep/goats test.
Truth. But thanks to truly uninspired leadership and a overwhelming apathy in the "Free World", the Four Horsemen are coming to a neighborhood near you and sooner than you'd expect. The Adriatic and Italian coasts could see Muslim raiders on slave raids again after a brief two hundred year hiatus (Second Barbary War 1815). Why not? Talk doesn't stop them, hashtag's do nothing and NASA outreach doesn't help much either. I wish I could believe that voting for the best candidate would help, but the evidence is against it. Maybe when the first Islamic nuclear bomb destroys New York City someone will do something. Thanks for the therapy! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KkR3ESZk-14 All well now.
I've been absolved of my faux guilt! Thanks, again. Did the volunteer bit when I was young enough, so that's taken care of as well. All better now. I said not to take it personally, but you did. therefore, it really was for you.
so feeding the poor is a check the box thing? no wonder you Christians are so screwed up.

Don't take this personally, but I thought you said it all wasn't my fault? I thought you wanted to cheer me up. Guess not. By the way, never assume--mary is not my real name. Shocker, I know.

RE Why I love 'hate speech'
"As Jeanine Piro says, "The First Amendment is "an ABSOLUTE"." of course it isn't an absolute. very disappointing that the hate speech point is made with a misleading statement about the first amendment, but its always easier to preach to the choir than make the effort at understanding the issues. So Hillary! slept through a very important briefing. So what. She was old and had recently been hit on the head. She needed her rest. And she already knew what she thought anyway, so why get new info?
As for the #marchagainstmonsanto I saw pics of crowds of whole groups of ones and even tens in some places. It's good to see who the anti-science types who don't care if cheap food allows poor people not to starve protesting their hearts out. Not too many [if any] of the protesters I saw looked like they'd ever been hungry for more than a few hours. NYC: Parenting as a viciously competitive sport.
Anyone accusing me of a microaggression has just perpetrated a macroaggression. Rush is bigger than Fox. And he makes lefties soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo MAD! It finally came true!
"The Army has some new recruits Wearing high heels 'stead of boots" Marching song, Navy Boot Camp, 1981 From UN Envoy gets a dose of reality
" IS splits women from men and executes boys and men aged 14 and over. The women and mothers are separated; girls are stripped naked, tested for virginity and examined for breast size and prettiness. The youngest, and those considered the prettiest virgins fetch higher prices and are sent to Raqqa, the IS stronghold,” she said." And we learn from Numbers 31: 1-54 Moses' army defeats the Midianites. They kill all the adult males, but take the women and children captive. When Moses learns that they left some live, he angrily says: "Have you saved all the women alive? Kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman that hath known man by lying with him. But all the women children, that have not known a man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves." Where do they get these ideas? aren't you the clever one, comparing us to ISIS. you win a foreskin.
re: Oreilly
If the disintegration of the African American family is what drives the Black murder rate then you must explain why the white murder rate has not risen with the disintegration of the white family. In other words, keep looking. |
