Default A knock on the door ....

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.

Harry has it made. He calls us trump supporters with no fear of arrest. But he can still openly testify of his democratic socialism.

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



Google is your friend. My lawyer friend is a Democratic Socialist but
he's not as far left as the current crop that are emerging from schools
today. He's about your age.

He and I have often had very civil and respectful discussions about
politics and he knows well that I am not a "Trumpster". I just happen
to believe in capitalism as a primary economic system in the USA and
I support many of the efforts that Trump and Republicans in general
are attempting to correct due to the overly left influences of the last
administration.

I don't approve (not that it matters what I think) or agree with his
big, egotistical mouth and I think it hurts him in achieving his goals
but that's a personality thing, not a political ideological issue.

For a guy who isn't a Trumpster, you sure come to his defense a lot,
far, far more than I ever came to the defense of Hillary Clinton. In
fact, you and the rest of the right-wingers here bring up Hillary far
more than I ever did, even during the election. You fellas were obsessed
with Hillary and obviously still are.

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.

Harry, for being a socialist and a guy who supposedly isn’t isn't a Trumpster, you sure bring him up a lot. Far more than any of the supposed “right-wingers” here. You were obsessed with Trump more than anyone else, even during the election, and still are.

Trump is rich, smart, and has a good looking spouse. Not many of
Fat Harry's ilk can mztch that.

If you paid attention instead of spewing out knee-jerk reactions you
might realize that I don't defend "Trump" ... I simply agree with many
of his policies and initiatives. It's a political and economic
agreement, not an endorsement of his personality. You probably feel
similarly about some outspoken people in your party ... like Maxine
Waters. I'll bet that fundamentally you agree with much of her
politics but wish she'd keep her big mouth shut.

Regarding Hillary CLinton ... I've long been on record as to my distrust
of her. I think she is possibly the most dishonest person to ever have
been involved in politics.

Maybe it's due to being a Libra (scales of justice) that is responsible
for my feeling that she is guilty of election improprieties that make
the accusations of Trump look insignificant. If he is going to be
"investigated" for over a year and a half, she deserves the same
treatment, especially as she continues to cast blame on everyone else
for her defeat. She just doesn't get it. Enough people obviously
thought like me resulting in her embarrassing loss.

To their credit though, more and more members of your party are now
saying, "Hillary Who?"
