Apparently Barak Obama has more in common with the Insane Clown Posse than anyone had thought.

Then I took a step back to admire it, and after a minute glanced around nervously and rushed inside. There was a reason for the haste.
To explain the sudden paranoia I felt I must explain where I live.
I live in Bluff Park, Alabama; about 10 miles or so outside of downtown Birmingham. Besides the obvious racial tensions of the area, the black supremacist new age Black Panthers in downtown, and the white supremacist old-school KKK in the surrounding country. I'm stuck in the middle, I live in the high-end suburbia right outside of Birmingham, where everyones racist but are too close to the inner city to say anything out loud. But just because there aren't local meetings for KKK, it's obvious how the locals here feel, this community has been around for almost half a century, there has never been a black family living in the area. The only non-wasp family here is an asian family that moved in recently, but even that was vehemently argued against, and the only hispanics allowed in the area are the yard work (sadly, i'm not exaggerating). It is sad and pathetic that everyone here doesn't seem to realize that there was intergration in the schools for a reason.
The people in the area are ALL right-winged conservatives, there a dozens of McCain posters and signs in the area, no-one here seems to realize how badly the republican party has fucked up the country in the last 7 years x.x, and they all still support the war X.X. So when I went outside and set up the Obama sign in my yard, at first I felt an almost self-righteous pride, almost my way of saying :"Fuck you WASP assholes". That was of course until I realized that everyone down here not only supports the second amendment, most of the area are NRA members, and every house in the area owns at least one gun.
And trust me, down here, they do not like change or non-conformists, so i'm going to just chill at home to Alex and Megan get back from their cruise, because Alex knows where the rifle is; I don't like guns at all, not in my hands or in my face.
