Probably the neighbors are right-wing fuckheads who think everyone who didn't vote Bush and isn't voting Romney is an enemy and ought to be killed.
Used to be, a guy didn't want his neighbors toknow he was a sex offender, or a felon newly released from jail.
But now, something else is gaining in distastefulness.

Is Your Neighbor a Democrat? Obama Has an App for That
by Lois Beckett
ProPublica, Aug. 3, 2012, 3:52 p.m.
Curious how many Democrats live on your block? Just download the Obama campaign's new mobile app.
The app, released last week, includes a Google map for canvassers that recognizes your current location and marks nearby Democratic households with small blue flags.
For each targeted address, the app displays the first name, age and gender of the voter or voters who live there: "Lori C., 58 F, Democrat."
All this is public information, which campaigns have long given to volunteers. But you no longer have to schedule a visit to a field office and wait for a staffer to hand you a clipboard and a printed-out list of addresses.
With the Obama app, getting a glimpse of your neighbor's political affiliation can take seconds.
While The New York Times dubbed the app "the science-fiction dream of political operatives," some of the voters who appear in the app are less enthusiastic about it.
"I do think it's something useful for them, but it's also creepy," said Lori Carena, 58, a long-time Brooklyn resident, when she was shown the app. "My neighbors across the street can know that I'm a Democrat. I'm not sure I like that."
"The social contract exists so that everyone doesn’t have to squat in the dust holding a spear to protect his woman and his meat all day every day. It does not exist so that the government can take your spear, your meat, and your woman because it knows better what to do with them." - Instapundit.com
Probably the neighbors are right-wing fuckheads who think everyone who didn't vote Bush and isn't voting Romney is an enemy and ought to be killed.
"All that stuff I was taught about evolution, embryology, Big Bang theory, all that is lies straight from the pit of hell [the bible] teaches us how to run all our public policy and everything in society." Rep. Paul Broun (R)
"I hope I live to see the day when, as in the early days of our country, we won't have any public schools. The churches will have taken them over again and Christians will be running them. What a happy day that will be!" -- Jerry Falwell
"The social contract exists so that everyone doesn’t have to squat in the dust holding a spear to protect his woman and his meat all day every day.

...Or the woman who was quoted could be a time traveling communist who doesn't want anyone to know she is trying to deceive the Democrat party in order to cover up Obama's true origins as a Manchurian candidate backed by islamofascist commies who forge birth certificates, badly. She's working on orders from Joe Stalin himself, and can use the app to send information back in time to the Kremlin, circa 1950. She just criticized the app to provide cover.
Once Sherf Arpaio discovers the true power of this nefarious app, Obama and the time travelling pinko will be arrested. The sherf will go back in time, bring back Stalin, and make him eat Bologna sammiches in a rilly hot tent while wearing offensively-colored jumpsuits for the rest of his life. Serves him right.

personally speaking, i'd not like to get into a political argument with my neighbours. it's just not pleasant.you have to live beside these people so you may as well pretend to get on and political issues are very divisive. it's not worth it.
