This article was linked on Drudge. It's good that DSA is being exposed.

According to their "about" page the DSA is the "largest caucus within the House Democratic Caucus"

Here is their membership list: http://cpc.grijalva.house.gov/index.cfm?sectionid=71&sectiontree=2,71

Remember, a Socialist is a Communist without a gun.

DSA has taken over the Democrat Party.

The Clintons were the last bastion of the moderates.
They went down in November.

It’s Saul Alinsky’s party now.

With increasing memberships, I guess the phone booth will no longer serve as their convention headquarters.

Clinton can hardly be called moderate. She is a life-long radical.

By modern-day Democrat standards she WAS a moderate.

That’s pretty much my point. They’ve marched WAY over to the left.

Communism: A bunch of ideologically-driven armed thugs come and take all your stuff.

Democratic Socialism: A majority of 50.1% in a fair and open election votes to have ideologically-driven armed thugs come and take all your stuff.

They should be outed and removed from office.

They do not stand for the constitution.
They do not stand for the Republic.
They do not stand for liberty or even Democracy.

It’s thought control all the way down.

We are Socialists, we are enemies of today’s
capitalistic economic system for the exploitation
of the economically weak, with it’s unfair salaries,
with it’s unseemly evaluation of a human being
according to wealth and property instead of
responsibility and performance, and we are all
determined to destroy this system under all conditions.

Why of course they have! PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEZE Soros money is attracting the scumbags that were already out there. Anyone who thinks Trump supporters who have watched the swine break windows and riot have been inspired to switch sides is a moron.

During the last election, a poll showed that 43% of democrat voters are self-described socialists.
