Would you let her stay?

Every American should ask themselves this question and then try to answer it honestly.

You go to the store for 30 minutes. You forgot to lock the door.

When you come home, there in your front room is the kindliest, gentle, gray-haired grandmother type. Being a good person, you

gently ask her to leave … and in her kindest, gentle grandmother voice, she says “No, I like it here and I’m going to stay.”

Who of you reading this would say, “I guess we will let you stay”?

I’m fairly sure very few people, regardless of how liberal they are, would let her stay.
