Maggie's Farm

There are some things you can get away with saying in the grand $6 million radical chic apartments of Manhattan's Upper West Side, or in professorial homes in Chicago and Cambridge - or anywhere in San Francisco.

However, in the real America, you can't say idiocy like this. The guy is so out to lunch about America that he is indeed his worst enemy. Has he ever met any regular folks like me?

We don't want to be like China.

Re yet another kerfuffle today, from McCain's campaign:

Does a guy who made more than $4 million last year, just got back from vacation on a private beach in Hawaii and bought his own million-dollar mansion with the help of a convicted felon really want to get into a debate about houses? Does a guy who worries about the price of arugula and thinks regular people “cling” to guns and religion in the face of economic hardship really want to have a debate about who’s in touch with regular Americans? “The reality is that Barack Obama’s plans to raise taxes and opposition to producing more energy here at home as gas prices skyrocket show he’s completely out of touch with the concerns of average Americans.”

Wham. Bam. Do you really want to get in an air battle with a fighter pilot?

I know that the Lefty government types want me to cling to government - run by them. Most of them are medium moron shmoozers who can't hold a real job and never did anything productive with their lives. Why in the world would I cling to them?

My gun can help feed me - along with my job. And my God can feed me in other ways. I do not want anybody else's money, for anything. I just want the government to leave me the heck alone to make my own way, for better or worse.

That's my notion of human dignity.

Have you seen dignity?

Ignore continuation below - it's a glitch.
