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.

Stop test-driving your girlfriend: A Christian view of wife selection/ h/t, Evangelical Outpost

Eager Dhimmis in Sweden. Unbelievable. I guess they hate themselves.

Culture wars and the Evangelical Christians. Middlebrow is right - they aren't trying to take over - they are fighting a holding action for traditional western civilization.

Hey teacher, leave them kids alone. 7years hard time for her. I guess it's against the law.

Re: Eager Dhimmis. I've never met one, and am skeptical about this story, because (Jens Orback is the same Minister referenced in your link);

"Sweden's largest Muslim organisation has demanded that the country introduce separate laws for Muslims, according to Swedish television. Sweden's equality minister Jens Orback called the proposals "completely unacceptable"."

I'll be contacting Swedish relatives to try and get translation/context for the referenced quote.

You just pick and choose stuff to pass on, unquestioned, because it suits your worldview. Doesn't it say something about "inquiring, skeptical" in your banner?

Inquiring and skeptical, within time allowed.
what world view? other than that the world is nuts, amusing, and exasperating?

Well, the view that there actually are a significant number of "Eager Dhimmis". As I wrote, I've never met any, but "they" seem to be a favourite strawman for guys like Laurence Auster, who wrote "...many on the left consciously desire to become the subjects and retainers of a European caliphate".

Many on the left?
