So you live in Polk County. A place I'm very familiar with. My great Grandfather(3) was a Confederate soldier from Polk County (one of 26). He also helped organize the KKK in Polk County several years after the war.

I am totally unsurprised, given your unrealistic attitude about the KKK.
Have you ever been robbed after attending a movie in Winter Haven? The Godparents of my son have been.

I don't hang out in Winter Haven too much anymore, but back before the Lakeland Mall and the AMC Merchant's Walk theaters were built I used to go over there quite a bit and never had any problems whatsoever.
Have you ever had you home broken into? I know tens of people who have had their homes broken into while living in Polk County. I can't ever remember anyone having their homes robed in the '50s or '60s.

Never. Never had anyone try to break into my home or car. Back around 85 my parents and I lived in a rougher area of town...out east off Reynold's Road...and we had a drunk guy who got confused about where he was try to break our door in, but no one has ever tried to break into my house to rob it.
My son's Little League coach was shot in the back while jogging in the early morning hours near Hiway 92. Car load of Blacks shot him for the fun of it. For some reason it was not considered a "Hate Crime".

And how long ago was this?
If you have children do you send them to a private school so they can get a decent education because of bussing?

I send my son to private school to avoid political correctness (eg being suspended for having a toy gun). I ensure his quality education by teaching him what he needs to know myself. I went to private schools so I know that often they don't teach enough of the harder suibjects.
How safe are you in the neighborhoods around the intersection of Memorial and Florida Ave?

Very safe. Drive through there all the time. Actually they recently bulldozed the projects there. But then, I feel safe pretty much anywhere through the aid of John Moses Browning's best invention.
The point that I have trying to make is that the "crimes" of the KKK have been greatly exaggerated by the liberal press.

Yes, and you're wrong.
