Editor’s note: THIS MUST BE ERADICATED There are GOOD people living in these neighborhoods – brave men and women willing to stick it out. These neighborhoods do NOT belong to the gangs. FIGHT BACK AMERICA! Stop voting for these candy-ass LIBERALS like Barrack Obama. Now the “best” choice is John McCain – unfortunately not the best choice over all but he’s the best choice standing in the two main parties. Then there is Bob Barr who would attack this domestic threat – problem is the Libertarians also have some very ignorant views in their “live and let live” thinking.
