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.

Europe: What do Islamic Parties Want?

They can only advance the agenda so much by participating in mainstream politics so they're opening a new front by forming their own parties. No matter what Europes leaders say, they have no weapons in their tolerance arsenal to combat Islamic hegemony.

They are having more children than the Europeans. They will outnumber Europeans in the foreseeable future...and they may decide not to wait for that time to come.

"Europe: What do Islamic Parties Want?"
What they want is you to be converted or killed. Duh! Read their book already, it tells you what they want. But beware, evil pours forth from every page. Islam has invaded Europe a few times and completely overrun it at least once but this is the first time that we have their manual in our own language and Europe is still letting them in. I doubt they will fight back this time. I just don't know, words fail.

"The Documentary 'The Vietnam War': Artistic License as History"

The United States abandoned the Republic of Vietnam and, as a consequence, lost the war.

Documentary should, in this case, be "Documentary".

Sorry Puerto Rico, Las Vegas shooting just moved you to the back burner. The lefty dems absolute favorite meme, gun control, will now dominate the news narrative.

How Do You Tell The Corrupt Politician From The Non-Corrupt?

Easy, just check for a pulse. If they ain't got one, then they're no longer a politician, they're a statesman.

I believe it was Will Rogers who first made that observation and added "Lord knows we need more statesmen."
