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.

DEI officials are Political Officers


Police states always install political officers in organizations. Nazis, communists, etc. I am always reminded of the Political Officer in the Hunt for Red October movie.


Yeah, DEI administrators are political officers. It makes sense for employees to fear them.


Roger Kimball discusses Bill Ackman's "touching naivete" and related issues.

I made this point quite awhile back, and nobody on the left ever bothered to even attempt to refute it.

Yes they are.

In HFRO, didn't Capt. Ramius express his disapproval of the political officer somewhat...kinetically? Good times.

Shouldn't that be a DSM code instead of "dei"? There is NO SUCH THING as Diversity, Equity or Inclusion. The same can be said for that disgusting propaganda memorization which those of us from the 50s recall as The Pledge of Allegiance.

I absolutely DO NOT pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States OR the REPUBLIC for which it stands, and the same with rest of the notion about one "nation" under god, indivisible and continuing word vomit.

It was indoctrination then, just like children have been indoctrinated with government mandated pabulum, ever since.

Sheesh, this nation is currently failed into a FUBAR "state" under the influence of George HW, Clinton, W, the Kenyan and now some doddering communist from Scranton.

Or, as Willie Nelson might say, "they's good people".

You sound young. I hope you change your mind about your country. I love to pledge allegiance. Love the national anthem. And love my country.
