If you don't like area, then leave

| October 21, 2009 9:00 PM

Heat, home invasions, no water, millions of illegals driving without insurance listening to boom boxes, highest kidnapping rate in the nation, urban sprawl, overcrowded everything, bankrupt state coffer, liberals taking over a once-conservative stronghold (the home of Barry Goldwater), borders Mexico, and did I mention heat and no water.

These are a few reasons why we bought land here 10 years ago then  left Arizona and moved here for good four years ago.

The recent published letter from another “infiltrator,” Tim Henney,  describes his shame of this area for what amounts to a few misdirected rantings, a love of hunting and the wolf that threatens the herds, and a gay lawmaker that slipped in somehow.

And can we not joke about public officials, namely Obama, without being called names and branded lunatics?

I agree with some of the locals … go back to where you ran away from if you don’t like this place.
