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.

A few Friday Links

Four years in prison for quoting scripture.  The linked story here. We agree that the Bible conveys a dangerously subversive message.

Does government ever work? If not, then why give them more to do? EU Ref

Great bathrooms of NYC. Coyote

Immigrant sense of entitlement. Powerline. We detest any sense of entitlement in immigrants or in citizens. If you want freedom, apply to come to the US. If you feel entitled to anything other than the gift of freedom, go elsewhere.

The Second Amendment case: Big Iguana. You know my opinion: Self-defence is the most fundamental civil right.

Why the Left parties are the parties of the rich: Never Yet Melted, Right Thinking, No Left Turns, Surber.

Re the ''left parties" here's two eye-openers:

http://taxprof.typepad.com/taxprof_blog/2005/11/generosity_inde.html

“The 50-state ranking has a decided Red State-Blue State flavor: 28 of the 29 “most generous” states are Red States that voted for President Bush (including all 25 of the “most generous” states), while 17 of the 21 “least generous” states are Blue States that voted for Senator Kerry (including all 7 of the “least generous” states).”

Combine the Tax Prof’s report with this one (see below), up now on Drudge, and it appears that the left party contains not only the least generous, but also the most wealthiest.

But wait–how can this be? Their policies are sooo generous. Oh, wait, that’s with *other people’s money*.
