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. |

Re: Chick-Fil-A
Lefties force "prejudiced" bakers to bake wedding cakes for events they don't support but block new Chick-Fil-A restaurants because they are prejudiced against committed Christians like the CEO of Chick-Fil-A. Chik-Fil-A should build an outlet on every road into the airport with HUGE SIGNS saying "Last Chance To Get a Chik-Fil-A!!"
"Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg admits the social networking site should be regulated after Christchurch mosque terror attack". When large monopolies request regulation you can bet it is to provide barriers to their competition. I doubt that it is some uprising of a tender heart for humanity.
Zuckerberg wants to get out in front of the regulation that almost certainly is coming, and shape it to his benefit.
There is nothing good that will come of government and the industry putting their heads together to regulate the internet. I would predict that making negative comments about LGQTB would become punishable by fines and jail time. Probably any disagreement with Leftist agendas would be treated pretty much the same way. And of course there would be a tax that only the working class would have to pay so that the indolent class could have free internet. Beware any of the big tech companies getting behind closed doors with our politicians.
Did you see what Twitter did to the movie Unplanned, over the weekend? First they removed the Twitter feed, then they started removing the followers. These companies are the left hand of Satan.
RE: Chick Fil A
I remember growing up in a country that had freedom of thought, religion, and freedom to choose whether or not you wanted to patronize an establishment. So sad. Yeah, I remember that country. I live in a state, Colorado, that has zero respect for the second, fourth and fifth amendments (Red Flag Law). No respect for due process, no respect for the right to face your accuser. As an illegal alien you can pretty much do what ever you damn well please though. Maybe I should renounce my citizenship and come back across the boarder as an illegal?
Colorado Counties Declare Themselves Second Amendment Sanctuaries In Face Of Gun-Grabbing Bill
Absolutely correct! This "red flag" law just legalized "Swatting": the chance to RAT on your neighbor or someone you don't like or someone who says something you don't like , in the hope they will resist the unlawful, unconstitutional police raid and subsequently be shot by the police! Typical Progressive/Leftist totalitarians, encouraging neighbors and family to INFORM on each other! Just like in NAZI Germany or the USSR or Cuba or.....[fill in the totalitarian blank] When I worked (I'm now retired}I had to fill out an I-9. Why? Why not just tell my potential employer I'm an illegal alien and then I don't have to prove I'm a citizen. Why do these laws only apply to legal citizens? Illegals arrested for DUI don't go to jail or to court they are released in secret so that the ICE doesn't know about it. Why are illegals not required to obey our laws and why do far left politicians aid and abet their crimes?
The only way to beat any of these top-down do-as-I-say edicts is with grass roots show of force by numbers. I've come to the conclusion that my vote only counts when I am able persuade at least 3 other people to vote similarly, on the strength of the arguments.
The choice with Facebook is crystal clear. Persuade your legislators to treat them as publishers thus forcing them into First Amendment crisis. get at least 3 other people to join you. prepare the letter, send it out to others. In the meantime, don't use FaceTwit; You're just feeding the beast! Try reading the newspaper instead, preferably in a Chik-Fil-A. Clapper lied under oath to Congress, so pardon me for not believing a words he says. If he can provide emails and corroborating witnesses, then I will believe him.
The only reason russiagate existed was because if Clinton was not elected, the entire corrupt government could be exposed....not because anyone loved/liked or really wanted her as potus.
re Colorado Counties Declare Themselves Second Amendment Sanctuaries In Face Of Gun-Grabbing Bill
What's interesting about this is the Right fighting fire with fire. If the dems can ignore the laws they don't agree with, then why can't the repubs do so as well? I am curious to see where this leads. White People’s Diets Are Killing The Environment: Just drop the "Diets" and the Left will prefer that version.
White People’s Diets Are Killing The Environment. Women and minorities are harmed the most.
LOL The left is so predictable. Whenever these predictable and agendized headlines show up someone should look at the past work of the "researchers". I think the same people keep cranking out these ludicrous studies. Re: Eric Holder
I want to see the money trail. The fine AG, Eric Holder got billions of dollars out of banking institutions in fines for their corrupt practices. Where is the money? Where did it go? There was one Wall Street Broker who got to stay out of jail for a huge fine. Where is that money? What is that guy doing today? Several of the worst offenders in the banking world were clients of the law firm that Holder came from and went back to after leaving his job as AG. Why isn't anyone doing anything to follow up on this story? Get rid of preK and K...they are nothing more than taxpayer funded babysitting services with a little propaganda thrown in for good measure. It also functions as an employment racket for those who otherwise would never be employed by private employers. It's the perfect PC project for blue city mayors.
I don't believe the government should even be involved in education. The government run schools have managed to turn the high school diploma into a worthless piece of paper.
I don't understand
If a person is subpoenaed to testify against a company or agency in one case, can that witness then turn around a file their own case against the same company or agency based on their own experience with that company? Perhaps we need to complain to airports about CNN.
Good idea. How far do you think our complaints would go? How did it happen that CNN got to be the mandatory network at every single airport in the country?
I think because it also has an international version.
Maybe complaining to the FCC might help. I have my doubts about the FAA seeking an active part in this.
