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.

Kurt Schlichter achieves acceptance...

...and discovers that it doesn't feel too bad:



People babble on about how “Trump will never do anything about illegals” and “He’ll never repeal Obamacare.” Yeah, put your money on Trump failing – I did, and the guy I wrote checks to lost. News Flash: Donald Trump is not only going dance with the ones who brung him but afterwards he is going to take them to his limo to make out. This guy is interested in trying to please the people who elected him, not the urban swells who write for or read the NYT or WaPo – he knows they will never stop loathing him even if he somehow simultaneously cures cancer, brings world peace, and convinces Coldplay to disband.


No, he’s going to do what he said he will do – and I expect that when we hear the name of his Supreme Court nominee (Please, for many reasons, make it Judge Willet!) every conservative in America is going to seek a cigarette and a cuddle.

That's Kurt Schlichter, not Jonah Goldberg...

Trump was not my first choice. However, I very much liked the enemies he made on the left, and how he attacked back instead of being the nice Republican patsy.

There was no way I was going to vote for a Democrat for President.

I hope he's right this time. That's the head of state we need.

I am SO looking forward to potus Trump's state of the union address. His inauguration will be dignified, but oh! can't wait 'til he addresses our perfidious congress.

I was for Walker, then Cruz, and when Trump attracted all the hate from all the "right people", I was convinced.

That line of thinking parallels mine to a tee!

You can tell the character of a man from his enemies.

TRUMP has all the right enemies, foremost among them, Political correctness!
