Wish I had taken a picture
of
the two beautiful sharply dressed young women,
one African-American and the other Indian,
who talked me into a $100.00 donation;
brave enough to ring my doorbell while signs in my yard questioning whether God raped Mary or not.
They confessed to thinking twice before walking up to my house.
Democratic Party of Georgia only gets a $50.00 donation every time they ring my doorbell; and I generally find those young men...
CUTE!
