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.

Re: A Moral Challenge for the Democrats
By Bruce Walker

"We do not know much, really, about the character of Barack Obama, but what we do know is good. ...

But what we do know of Barack Obama, the person, is not troubling. He appears by all accounts to be a fairly decent chap."

Some say, ignorance is bliss but American Thinker ain't thinking on this one.

Senator Hussien's character becomes fleshed out in Kenya and his support for communists and Islamists who are murdering folks there in reaction to duly elected government.

It might be Walker will see this as positve character trait as the rebels and Islamists are Hussein Obama's family.

Re: Hussein ain't palying the game

Sharpton and Jackson have this one right, Hussein would be known as a moon pie.

Moon pies were a favoite snack in school lunches once upon a time.

They were a delightful vanilla cracker topped with marshmellow fluff and coated with thin chocolate.

Mmm.

They were better than Orios.

More problematic for Hussein is his dubious status as an American born citizen, and son of an Islamic bigamist.

If Barack Hussein Obama Sr. was in Hawaii with diplomatic papers from Kenya his boy is Kenyan.

Cinnamon Stillwell article "The End Is Near" is funny. Reminded me, about 20 years ago, before climate hysteria was so common, a guy used to hang around where I was working and he'd rant and rave that the Russians were changing the weather. He would not stop until told to leave.

Re: CVS walk-in clinics

Boston Major Thomas M. Menino says, not so fast to Walkin profits;

. "Limited service medical clinics run by merchants in for-profit corporations will seriously compromise quality of care and hygiene. Allowing retailers to make money off of sick people is wrong."
