Saw some news this morning about the growing membership in the
"Democratic Socialists of America".

Seems the majority of young people today favor their form of
socialism
over capitalism, influenced mostly by liberal professors and
instructors
in our universities and colleges.

This news story was timely and ironic because:

Yesterday (Sunday) a guy wearing a suit knocked on my door. My first
thought was he may be proselytizing for some religious order,
something
I have not experienced since 1970 while living in Zion, Il.

Prepared to politely but firmly tell him I was not interested, he
handed
me a flyer and announced he represented the Democratic Socialists of
America and was handing out information on the organization and what
they believe in.

Less friendly, I told him I wasn't interested, goodbye ... but he
insisted on having me hear him out.

Told him again I was not interested.

He then said, "You must be a Trump supporter".

Blew my cork. Told him to shove his socialism up his ass and get the
**** off my property.

Then, later in the day I saw a town cop had pulled him over not far
from where we live. Later, I heard that the police had stopped him
after receiving several complaints by others about him harassing
people
in the neighborhood.





He called you out for what you are...a Trump supporter. What's the big
deal?
BTW, what do "Democratic Socialists" believe in? :)

The big deal is the asshole was tresspassing and trying to jam his
beliefs down peoples throats. You probably would have shot
him.


No, ****-for-brains, I don't consider people, even religious charlatans,
who knock on the door or ring the doorbell as "trespassers." Our street,
even out to the state road, doesn't have many houses, and we don't often
get canvassers of any stripe.

It's mostly the rural mail delivery folks who ring the doorbell. If they
have a parcel too big for the community mail box kiosk down the street,
they leave it on the front porch and ring the doorbell.

I suspect you don't get much of that, eh, what with the "Quarantined"
sign poked into your front lawn. No one wants your airborne herpes.



Why tbe shotgun behind your front door then?


And the regular complaints of proselytizing by people trying to jam
religion down his throat? Now he says he doesn't often get
canvassers "of any stripe".

Dishonesty raises it's ugly head again. Must be a progressive-liberal
thing.



I never claimed we got a lot of door knockers, and it's been a while
since we had any religious nuts recruiting, though I did see a pair on
bicycles and wearing white shirts and ties a few weeks ago ringing
doorbells. I assumed they were Mormons. You should consider stopping
your channeling of Justan, your moron buddy.


Why would anyone take your advice? You don't seem to have anything
going for you.

You constantly whine about religion being crammed down your throat. It doesn't happen here, and now
you tell us it doesn't happen there.

So why all the whining?


He never seems to venture far from here or there, so the cramming
must be happening there if it's not happening here. Maybe he's
ingesting furballs from all those cats.

Voting themselves generous gifts from the public treasury.


That more aptly describes Trump, his family, and his appointees.

How is that?


Oh, special deals on condos, isolation phone booths, promotion and hotel
rentals at Trump hotel in DC, promotion of Mar-a-Lago, overseas
deals...don't you read the news?


I am not a big fan of corporate welfare. I will say everyone in these
targeted businesses get them tho and they always pass congress with
wide bipartisan support. I do think Trump should be comping the
government the use of his resorts when he is visiting. He certainly
should not be recovering more than the actual cost.
I said from day one that hotel in DC was troubling. The beef I have
always agreed with was the conflicts of interest.
It is the problem you have when you put a person with businesses into
the White House but it is not a new problem. George Washington had
serious conflicts of interest. It is quite possible that Washington
walked away from the presidency because his business had advanced to
the point that these conflicts may have become troubling to his
critics.



I have a big problem with lots of corporate welfare. Elon and Tesla
getting 5 or so years of no property tax to put a battery plant in Nevada.
How about small business that are already there? They and the rest of
the people do not get a tax holiday. I have a friend I grew up with that
has a manufacturing business in a small town south of Reno. Where was his
tax exemption? He employs a bunch of people. How about Resnick,
billionaire supporter of the Liberal wing of the Democrats. Gets
subsidized water for his farms in the westlands Water District. Seems he
has secondary water rights, but has finagled it in to primary rights.
Pays about $9 an acre foot, which costs $60-70 an acre foot to deliver.
Then they resell some of that water for $300+ an acre foot to he cities.

There, again, Populism misses the boat.

Bismarck (Conservative) created the modern welfare state (Liberal?) in
Germany. After the German Revolution, post WW1, the German
Conservatives wished to create a "New World Order" (isn't that
Liberal?) and happily joined forces with the Nazis (closet
Conservatives that hated Capitalism), which then outlawed all of the
other parties.. including the Conservatives (who apparently hated
liberals more than Socialism).

Amazing how history is rewritten....

Really? In East Germany, after WWII, the Communist Party of Germany
(KPD) and the Social Democratic Party of Germany (SPD) merged to
become the Socialist Unity Party of Germany (SED).

Then...... they all actually did hate Nazis.... seems like everybody
needs somebody to hate. Huh?
