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.

Hate speech laws are tyranny on steroids. That is the only reason to pass these laws because you intent to implement government tyranny. Imagine going to jail for 6 months to life because you didn't refer to a third party as they/them in a private conversation with a friend. Now understand that these are the very same lawmakers who are making it easy for illegal border crossers to enter your country and live off your taxes and rape your women. This isn't serendipity! This is an intentional act by the government to emasculate their citizens and replace them so that they are easier to rule over. Scotland, Ireland, England, the rest of Western Europe, say good bye, it over. Canada, Australia, America; you're next! In fact they are well on their way to destroying all of the West. And everyone who votes for the left is assisting them in this.

Mom: Get outta the house! Go outside and play!

Who knew Mom was such a health expert?

Just so long as Mum did not say "go play in the traffic".

QUOTE:
Easter Reflections: George Washington’s Farewell Address in Today’s America . . . But then Joseph R. Biden, the President of the United States, issued an official proclamation denominating March 31 as Transgender Day of Visibility. Farewell Easter! You just got superseded by the latest freak show in the great Democratic carnival of perversity.

It's hard to take an argument seriously when it starts with a blatant falsehood. Biden did not, in any way, try to supersede Easter. Rather, the Transgender Day of Visibility has been March 31 since 2009. It's Easter that keeps moving its date. Next year, Easter will fall on the same day as 420, an international celebration of cannabis. The following year, Easter will fall on the same day as First Contact Day, Trekkies unite! In 2029, Easter will fall on the same day as April Fools’ Day.

QUOTE:
President Biden: Jill and I send our warmest wishes to Christians around the world celebrating Easter Sunday. Easter reminds of the power of hope and the promise of Christ’s Resurrection.

QUOTE:
Donald Trump: HAPPY EASTER TO ALL, INCLUDING CROOKED AND CORRUPT PROSECUTORS AND JUDGES THAT ARE DOING EVERYTHING POSSIBLE TO INTERFERE WITH THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION OF 2024, AND PUT ME IN PRISON, INCLUDING THOSE MANY PEOPLE THAT I COMPLETELY AND TOTALLY DESPISE.

Hard to take seriously the denial that the people pushing an agenda which includes trans visibility day as anything other than trying to fundamentally change the culture. In a way that results in traditional Christianity being replaced by radical progressive morality/perversion. The fact that Biden waited until the last Easter of his term when Easter fell on March 31, rather than any of the previous three years when it did not might be taken as deliberate. Anyone pretending it would be unreasonable to have such a suspicion is nigh impossible to take seriously.

From Survival blog yesterday:

"God assumed from the beginning that the wise of the world would view Christians as fools...and He has not been disappointed...if i have brought any message today, it is this: Have the courage to have your wisdom regarded as stupidity. Be fools for Christ. And have the courage to suffer the contempt of the sophisticated world." - Justice Antonin Scalia

But really...there is no use for tranny day, cannabis day or trekkie day other than noting they are all 'propaganda day'.

Again, when you base your position on a blatant falsehood, your position is without foundation. Biden has recognized Transgender Day of Visibility every March 31 of his term: 2021 2022 2023 2024. Biden has also recognized Easter (“As we gather with loved ones, we remember Jesus’ sacrifice.”) each and every year.

That's it, keep crying and stamping your feet and whining "I'm RIGHT! I'm RIGHT! I'm RIGHT!"

You're not, and nobody cares.

But hey, you're getting the attention mommy never gave you, so maybe that's something. Even ridicule is better than being ignored, which is a pain that's undoubtedly familiar to you.

If you weren't so instantly unlikable, we might actually feel sorry for you, but...nah. You're mocked, not pitied, and definitely not taken seriously--here or anywhere.

You should thank me for the nice, fat softball down the middle of the plate. You're right about the proclamations from previous years. I should have taken a minute to do a goole search. Or perhaps to read past the headline on that story.
Which in no way negates the rest of my point. Given that context, it is no surprise that anyone makes the worst assumption about Biden and the left.

"It's hard to take an argument seriously when it starts with a blatant falsehood."

I doubt anyone cares whether or not you 'take an argument seriously'. No one is trying to convince you of anything. So sad.

"It's hard to take an argument seriously when it starts with a blatant falsehood."

And it's impossible to take seriously anything that ends with the signature "Zachariel."

Run along, you silly little moppet. Grownups are talking.
