Welcome to Hickville, USA ~ Bartow, Florida
"Nativity Scene Built on County Lawn: Baptists erect display at county administration building without asking."

BARTOW -- Knowing the Polk County Commission has refused to sanction Nativity scenes on government property, a group of Baptist grandparents took Christmas into their own hands Wednesday.

...

(County Commissioner Randy) Wilkinson (http://www.polk-county.net/county_offices/commissioners/district2.aspx) said the display should stay.

"Oh yeah," he said. "I'm definitely for it . . . We've had to swallow all this crap over at the museum (Polk Museum of Art) that's anti our value system. Crap is not a good word -- say all this leftist, liberal agenda."

1. Yep..that sounds about right for Polk County!
Funny, I haven't lived in Tampa in almost 11 years and Polk county is still the same ole Hillbilly county!

Let's all email this loser commissioner!

4. And then he'll be back to the courthouse ...
... where he is thought to have been living periodically since his latest marriage broke up.
