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.

I continue to hold out hope that the 16th amendment will be repealed. Quit feeding the beast.

Less than words can say. "As is so often true with progressive policies, the costs of academics' obsessions fall on innocent people.

Behold the violence inherent in the system. "42%of all Democrats under 35 consider themselves socialists. Democratic socialist is just a term: most of these people are communists. And, like communists of old, their rhetorical pitch is about kindness, but all their symbolism and much of their activism is violent. The alphabet movement in particular is filled with violent imagery-trans day of vengeance, anyone-and the actual violence is everywhere.

"Trumponomics is Working."

The Democrats intend to put a stop to that as quickly as possible and put any Republican in jail that contributed to making America great again.

The Democrats policies and beliefs can be summed up by the California high speed rail project. It was never intended to actually work and there was never even a need for it, it's purpose was to feed huge amounts of money to the unions and other Democrat supporters and to create a confused maze of financing that would be ripe for fraud. God only knows where all those billions went.

The Democrats today are owned by China. Most of them were seduced by money or sex but many of them went over eagerly. Some Republicans too are caught up in this foreign influence trap. Imagine that China spends billions to hire and train everyday Americans to fight against their own government and does it in a way such that those committing this treason actually believe they are the good guys. And yet you don't have to imagine it just turn on the news and there it is in most large cities and teachers (unions) are bought and paid to participate too. AND as a bonus they indoctrinate your children!! Everyone in the MSM knows this! Almost everyone in the MSM is bought by China as well OR they were indoctrinated as children and do it willingly. Mass treason disguised as a moralistic stances on social issues in an attempt to hide their agenda and confuse the majority of Americans. As quickly as these treasonous rioters are arrested China bails them out of jail and pays a treasonous lawyer to defend them in court. Notice that none of the J6 defendants were bailed out and no lawyers magically appeared to defend them.

The two anti-government rioters who were shot in Minnesota were trained and instructed to create an "incident". They didn't just happen to be there or just happen to attack the federal officers they were instructed to create an incident that the left could then use to rally more useful idiots behind. This is classic communism revolution principle for over 100 years. You must define the enemy and then create an incident that will rally the serfs to your cause. We are literally in the middle of a communist revolution and Gavin and HACKEEM are viaing to be the next Lenin. And we are supposed to believe that the MSM doesn't see this, doesn't recognize this for what it is?!!!

OneGuy: Notice that none of the J6 defendants were bailed out and no lawyers magically appeared to defend them.

That is incorrect. All J6 defendants had bail hearings, and the vast majority were released on bail, per the Bail Reform Act of 1984, 18 U.S. Code § 3141-3150. All had lawyers, except those very few who had insisted upon defending themselves.

And Rosa Parks created an incident. That doesn't justify shooting them. And in some cases, law enforcement is unnecessarily creating the incidents, then lying and burying evidence.

They each attacked law enforcement. Neither was legal protest, both were riot. Do recall what happened to the J6ers.

It is interesting the way the two races delt with a lady on the bus. The racist white Democrats in the old South gave Rosa Parks dirty looks. The nice Democrat black man stabbed Iryna Zarutska in the neck killing her within seconds.

JustMe: The racist white Democrats in the old South gave Rosa Parks dirty looks.

Rosa Parks, a civil rights activist, was arrested for explicitly breaking the law in order to "create an incident that the left could then use to rally" support. Jim Crow laws were supported by southern Democratic populists, who used them to suppress Blacks after the Civil War and to maintain political power. They were allied within the Democratic Party with labor and liberals in the northern states. (This alignment changed during the civil rights period.)

JustMe: The nice Democrat black man stabbed Iryna Zarutska in the neck killing her within seconds.

There is no evidence the perpetrator of the killing was a member of the Democratic Party. Evidence indicates he was a mentally disturbed person.

Nothing says you are 100% right more than Zach attacking you. Well, maybe when he attacks you twice.

Didn’t attack you. Pointed out where you were mistaken. On the bail question, we provided an authoritative link. On the ‘incident’ issue, we pointed out that just because someone is alleged to have broken the law doesn’t in itself empower the government to use deadly force. See U.S. Constitution (1789, 1868).
