Why would the Rats be worried in New Jersey? They already own the place as far as I can tell.
Regressive is more like it. The turds haven't progressed in anything but hatred, bigotry and division.
Notice the non disclosure of two clear conflicts of interest:
1. John Atlas, the author of this piece, is married to Joanne Atlas, who is Vice President of Skylands Clean, an organization represented at this reported meeting. Both are very active in Passaic county Democrat party, Joanne is on the town council in Ringwood.
2. John Atlas is also currently or just finished writing a book chronicling the history of ACORN, has been given access to ACORN members and background info, and is no doubt written in a sympathetic tone.
