You bet I have! I got a phone call from Brinks Security tonight at 2 a.m. asking if I would meet with police as my neighbor's alarm had gone off from an attempted break-in. I said I didn't care to meet with anyone at this ungodly hour and hung up. Sure enough, two police cars pulled up minutes later and looked about with flashlights then left.So much for a sense of security!Have the illegal alien cleaning ladies spotted our neighborhood? Or the violent Blacks?// I tried to have sympathy/empathy.The Arabs/Muslims/Blacks/ illegal aliens are hopeless.// What is wealth when we are robbed by our bankers, investment brokers and "government"???//I cry everyday for my lost USA. It's gone.//Rush is the last honest voice. No wonder he makes 38 million! :-)
