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.

It was like the gun shop owner was waiting for this day

He was prepared for this day, not waiting for it.

" gender identity can change as frequently as “day to day.”"
Naturally, since according to the American Psychological Association definition, gender is imaginary.

American Psychological Association, Dictionary of Psychology:

Gender (n): the condition of being male, female, or neuter. In a human context, the distinction between gender and sex reflects the usage of these terms: Sex usually refers to the biological aspects of maleness or femaleness, whereas gender implies the psychological, behavioral, social, and cultural aspects of being male or female (i.e., masculinity or femininity).

Aren't most liberals mentally ten years old?

So that Zachriels guy puts on a dress, plays with dolls and I've got to accept his preverted fantasy of being a girl?

RE: Use of Vouchers at Religious Schools. Oh the horror. A huge chunk of my tax money goes to secular religious schools, where kids are brainwashed into worshipping Gia, and the all powerful state. Sacraments are abortion, vegetables and gender. Conservative republicans are the personification of all that has been and ever will be, the road blocks to utopia.

I have a cousin who owns a gun store. A guy attempted to rob it with the same result.

Looks like one of the robbers took the room temperature challenge.

Sorry, but that is a reach to go from the Trinity Lutheran case to allowing vouchers at religious schools. Trinity Lutheran involves a state fund and program that provided a fully secular benefit; namely recycled tire playground ground coating. The argument against vouchers being used for religious schools is that most religious schools require some kind of religious indoctrination (e.g. bible class). It is my opinion that this argument is fallacious as no one is forcing a parent to place their child at any particular school in a voucher system, but then I am also opposed to the government funding abortion services. Both are political questions though and I believe should be handled at the ballot box and legislatively, not via jurisprudence.

We in NH are working on a program to work around the current precedents: http://www.gencourt.state.nh.us/bill_status/billText.aspx?sy=2017&id=914&txtFormat=html

How do they get off calling themselves anti-fascists. They're clearly fascists. Brownshirts, if you will.

"SCOTUS Case Could Allow Use of Vouchers at Religious Schools"

Doesn't Notre Dame and every other Catholic college and university make use of federal funds from the various GI bills for vets?

That's fantastically backwards. Did you come up with that on your own?

Off topics, but see the sign at the top of the post, and go to the end where he says the business name is Maggie's Farm.
