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. |

That's good to hear as yesterday I thought maybe I offended some snowflake with my comment about school busing.
the Democrats' policies will be great for the country. Of course that country is Guatemala, but still...
She (AOC) gets press like nobody else
You say that like it's a bad thing. It is going to be fascinating to see how these folks on the Left thread the Constitutional needle to make it illegal to refuse to bake cakes for gay weddings but legal to refuse service to Republicans. They don't care about the legality which is why they keep insisting their positions, and the violence they generate, are moral imperatives. The left is upset about Trump's 4th of July parade in DC. Of course it was thanks to Washington and our first military forces that we have a 4th to celebrate. But I was particularly amused that they all think it is too expensive. It may cost a few million they say. But illegal aliens costs us billions and billions and they want more of that. The left would be funny if they never gain power but they are scary because they may gain power.
By the way, didn't JFK have a big parade with military equipment in DC??? Yeah, just the other day some Democrat was complaining about President Trump's daughter and nepotism. I wanted to say, anybody remember AG Robert Kennedy?
Kamala Harris likes school bussing.
Forced School bussing was a disaster and probably unconstitutional. The real purpose was to openly punish whites, period. Even blacks didn't like the bussing as it affected their children and their own lives but they did enjoy the white angst. The Boston bussing literally decimated an entire neighborhood in greater Boston. Overnight it forced 100,000 people to send their children miles away to schools where they were abused and suffered racism (because they were white). Overnight the property values plunged to half what they were before bussing because no one wanted to buy a home where your children would have to travel 2-3 hour round trips everyday to hostile schools. It destroyed a working class community simply to give blacks some revenge and politicians some headlines. The real purpose was to openly punish whites, period.
That's why she liked it or at least why she liked using it as a club against Biden. Those people are not about racial reconciliation but racial retribution. They are the racists they consider us to be. It is interesting that in England there are records showing that Kamala Harris's ancestors owned slaves. Yet she favors reparations from White America when 99.99% of white Americans alive today are not ancestors of slave owners.
If we intend to hold people responsible for the sins of their fathers shouldn't we at least get the right people to hold responsible? Go to the records, find out who owned slaves, track down their children, grandchildren and great grandchildren and make them pay reparations. Of course that would be silly, unfair and discriminatory. It would be so clear to everyone how stupid that idea is. Re: FIRE
I do so wish you would have been able to step in and help MHB the law firm that was unable to support my DH and myself when we quite simply asked for them to help us negotiate our leaving--this as after my DH had been fired !!! For gosh sakes!!! Leaving a campus that their own founders/partners created. But no, in 1999 you guys would not come forward against the most liberal university in America--why was that? Would you like to help my family repair the damage now? Recovering some of the lost income that 20 years of blacklisting and stalking and unemployment might generate a nice check for your firm. "What is the New York Times’s problem with Brexit Britain?" Those fool people don't care what the NYT wants them to do. That's the NYT's problem.
Swans are tough critters - and highly-edible
--------------------------------------------- Don't eat them in England, you could be hanged, drawn and quartered for treason. I forgot to add to my post that I cannot help but wonder how much of this insanity we are experiencing today has evolved out of a atmosphere that existed 20 years ago: the legal profession refusing to confront certain special interest groups, i.e. feminists, etc. and holding them accountable for their early abuses. This environment evolved out of an atmosphere that provided no challenge. Like any evil--the more the evil gets away with the worse the offenses become--it grows because there is no challenge--was no challenge. Of course, today confronting some of these horrible people on campus may generate some nice income for members of the legal community.
Refusing service for Republicans:
The purpose of the gays, blacks and other identity groups getting "protections" under the guise of getting equality is to make them immune from this kind of thing. It is legal to fire a white male because of any reason even because he is a white male. It is damned near impossible to fire a racial identity individual, a gay or a woman even for legitimate reasons. You will notice that the "reporter" beat up by Antifa in Portland was quickly supported and officials are calling for a federal investigation because he was Asian AND gay. A few years ago in an almost identical situation a conservative "reporter" in Portland was reporting on an Antifa rally when some Antifa thugs approached him with malice on their minds. Luckily this guy had a concealed carry license and merely displaying that he was armed was sufficient to keep Antifa at bay. But ironically in Portland it won't keep the police at bay and they swooped in immediately (where were they when Antifa was threatening to beat him???) and arrested him. He went to trail (in left wing Portland of course) and was convicted and sent to jail. But, at least the police were there to arrest him on bogus charges. The problem is that Republicans/conservatives are to nice/timid. For example; when the waitress spit on Eric Trump he refused to press charges. When Sarah Sanders was kicked out of Red Hen she left without creating a scene. They should have pressed charges and hired a lawyer to sue them for their last nickel. Because they didn't make these jerks pay any price for their discrimination it will continue. EXACTLY! You understand exactly how the events of the past twenty years have created the country we live in today.
To be fair to Beto, there are plenty of Americans in Mexico.
I can't think of a good reason to vote for him, though. On the dating trans people thing: dating isn't just "dating" it is a prelude to reproduction,even when it doesn't work out (incompatible). You cannot reproduce dating a trans person: hardware is wrong. In addition, during smooching or sex pheromones are given and received that further the attraction and bonding. These do not happen with a trans person: wrong pheromones. Likewise, for gay people the signals are wrong. It is so impossible.
