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.

QQQ

“[This] is a world in which facts always bow to feelings. What matters is not so much that you do good, but that you feel virtuous, or perhaps more to the point, are seen to be virtuous.”

Mona Charen (h/t, Patriot Post)

What They'll Stand For [Mark Steyn]
"On the other hand, Nancy flew up for the reference to Darfur and the Dems all leapt up to follow. It’s surely very revealing that the Democrats seem most enthused about the one issue where all you have to do is posture ineffectually while the UN stonewalls until everybody’s been killed. But on Iraq or anywhere else America moves beyond posturing to action the Dems sit on their hands."

who pray in the public square..."

Little Jack Horner sat in the corner,
Eating a Christmas pie:
He put in his thumb, and pulled out a plum,
And said, “What a good boy am I!

Mona's wisdom recalls the great line that the Leonard DiCaprio character says about "Americans" in the movie, "Blood Diamond".
