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.

Why diplomacy isn't always constructive: Ahmadinejad on Sunday: "We are not fighting so that you will offer us something. We are fighting to eliminate you."  Who? Me? (from Atlas)

Brits expected to welcome 45,000 criminals. That would be lovely. Tangled Web. (Isn't that what Botany Bay was for?) In other psychotic Brit news, Galloway glorifies Hezbollah. Gateway.

Whoa whoa..News Junkie....



your Ahmadiniedjad quote from "Sunday" via Atlas is incorrect...


here is the correct attribution
from Mark Steyn's July 23, 2006 Sun Times column:

___________________________________________

In one of the most admirably straightforward of Islamist declarations, Hussein Massawi, the Hezbollah leader behind the slaughter of U.S. and French forces 20 years ago, put it this way:

"We are not fighting so that you will offer us something. We are fighting to eliminate you."

sure thing,NJ.

i figure it's best to leave the verbal escalation game
to Mr Dinner-Jacket ,himself.

he's got plenty of room in his mouth for several feet.

I still prefer the walk-softly/big stick approach.

Britain is essentially a playground for convicts and Jihadists -that's what happens when a Nation forgets WHY it exists! Thanks for the link, btw, very kind of you.
