Worry spreads along with Bachmann’s Census opposition

If people are taking advice from Michele Bachmann about anything at all – census forms, what ever – they are showing truly poor judgment. Mrs. Bachmann gets so many things wrong in her political thinking it’s exhausting just to list it all. She’s certifiably wrong wrong wrong on almost every public policy question. Her opposition to the census advances no privacy interest, but does present problems for the effective and efficient functioning of our government. Where’s the up side in her battle against a full enumeration of the people of the United States?

This is “very concerning,” as Rep. Bachmann likes to say.

Here’s a compilation of reports and opinions regarding Bachmann’s census noncompliance:

I’m beginning to think the more outrageous Bachmann’s inflammatory political rhetoric, the more delusional her conspiracy theories, and the more florid her political paranoia, the more popular she becomes with her base, which makes up a plurality of 6th District voters.

I’ve compiled a summary of more than two dozen instances of Bachmann’s outlandish statements and fear-mongering without proof or substance since her reelection to Congress. When you look collectively at the items in the catalog, it’s truly “concerning.”

Hiding from the United States Census has got to be one of the dumbest thing any politician has encouraged. It is especially stupid if you assume that Representative Bachmann’s own constituents will probably be more affected than the general population. We can assume that she carries some leadership effect from the people who voted for her. End result her district get eliminated as Minnesota is on the cusp of losing a representative from population decline. If she had even an ounce of good sense she would be suggesting everyone register to make sure redistricting is not a problem for her.

Crap!!!! They are on to us…………………..those Census questions about what church you attend and how often, and whether you have guns and how many, and whether you have teeth and how many………asking if your wife is also your sister……………..asking if you have a bathroom and if so do you actually use it or just go out the window…….I never thought they would see through this conspiracy…….that with answers to these questions we can find out where they live……..the black Volkswagen Beetles decorated like acorns with acorn volunteers in them, stopping at these houses and forcing the heavily armed occupants to meekly get into the Volkswagen……….to be taken to re-education camps which is kind of funny because you can’t fix stupid as they say….how could they have figured it out? How could they have seen through our plan?????

Bachmann is correct. The federal government is too intrusive and coercive. There is no reason for the feds to compile all of the detailed information.

She is not against the census but the questions that follow. Let separate the two.

Congresswoman Bachmann is 100 percent correct about the census. The government has the right to ask how many residents live in your home. All the other questions are intrusive and not justified. It seems to me that the same liberals who talk about it is their body don’t seem to care if the government asks about their bodily functions! Go figure!

Congratulations on Michelle Bachmann for having the courage to stand up to the marxist government taking over the US.

If people are taking advice from Michele Bachmann about anything at all – census forms, what ever – they are showing truly great judgment. Mrs. Bachmann gets so many things right in her political thinking it’s exhausting just to list it all. She’s absolutely right on almost every public policy question. Her opposition to the census advances the cause of liberty in the US, and does present problems for those trying to effect more government control and restraint of all citizens. She is not advocating not answering the basic questions of the census and being counted. She is against the unnecessary attempt to find out things that are none of the government’s business. The libtards posting against her always exaggerate her position in an attempt to discredit her. I promise to redouble my efforts to make sure she remains in office and a voice of reason against the current marxist administration and apologists, including that fraud Immelman.

If people want to follow MB and not fill out their census form, fine. Will MB pay their fines for not complying with the law? I doubt it?

The census has always been a tool for social engineers. At times in American history when the social engineering was relatively benign, it was one thing.

But Obama (and, more importantly, the people to whom he owes chits) is turning the census into yet another political tool.

I know I’m whizzing upwind here, but try this; turn off the usual “Bakman shore is teh dum and crazee” for a bit and picture how you’d be reacting if, say, George W. Bush were making the same exact changes in the census that Obama is making. It’d be one of very few cases where Bush Derangement Syndrome would have been justified!

How do you domesticate a wild pig? First you lay out some food on the forest floor. The pig will cautiously approach the food, and evenetually begin to eat the food. After sometime, you put up one wall and continue laying out food. Again, after sometime the pig becomes comfortable with the wall, continues to eat the food. You continue this until four walls have been errected around the pig. Now you have a domessticated wild pig. No longer free, no longer able to find food on his own, but content as long as he is fed. Completely dependent on the hand that feeds him. And that hand is subject to the same shortcomings and sins all of us are subject to. May God have mercy on the pig.

Our founders understood the true nature of the human animal. And with God’s help created a form of governement to protect us from ourselves. It has been said, we don’t deserve democracy and freedom because we are so good, we need it because we are so bad.

Many of you will miss the point of this story. So, continue your illogical attacks and name calling, you are welcome to fill out all of the census questions. But I and tens of millions of others will not easily sacrafice our God given freedoms.

Lenhard is right: Big Brother has no right to gather information that will be used to make smarter, more appropriate policies. In fact, why does the government have a right to improve our lives at all?

If our Founding Fathers wanted to give government the right to improve our communities they would have written about it in the Constitution. They would ashamed to know we have public education systems, highways, and sewer systems.

Let’s send a clear message to our government this Census: we’re not going to give you the information you need to make reasonable policy choices, because you don’t have a right to it!

Mitch,
Please help us all out and provide the SPECIFIC “changes Obama is making” and provide reliable reference backing them up (we can all agree that MoveOn or Drudge or Powerline are not reliable references).

Mitch,
If Barack Obama had Bush’s track record — launching a war on flimsy evidence, while all but ignoring the mastermind of 9/11; OKing torture and warrantless wiretapping; loosening regulations that contributed to the financial meltdown (remember his “ownership society”? We got it, until those owners had to bail on shitty mortgages); etc. — I’d worry.

But he doesn’t.

OK, if she doesn’t think the government should ask those questions, then she should change the law. Isn’t that why so many tin foil hat wearers elected her to do? Not just whine about it but to actually change the law. Not answering the questions is against the law. A law she took an oath to defend. I can hear the tin foil hat people yelling that she swore to defend the constitution not the law. However, the constitution lays out how laws are made and thus it does include the laws that are constitutionally created. So, if you don’t like the questions, then tell her to get off her a** and do something about it rather than whine and break the law.

Alan,

Ok, I guess you are right when you write that the Founding Fathers would be ashamed to know that we have modern public sewer systems. If raw sewage running down the streets of Philadelphia was good enough for them, well by God it should be good enough for us. What’s a little typhus when you’re talking freedom.

Break up the sewers, or lose your freedom!!!!!!!!!

I’m still trying to understand the “domesticate a wild pig” process.

If you take a wild pig and surreptitiously build a fence around it, I think what you have is a fenced-in wild pig, not a domesticated pig. Try it with a lion- if you take a wild lion and surreptitiously build a fence around it, who is going to say it is a domesticated lion? The guy with one arm and bloody scratches everywhere, I guess.

Tim,

I rest my case, you missed the point. You’ve become the pig.

Roger,

Sorry, the way your plan is laid out, you got yourself a fenced-in wild pig. You can declare victory, but that declaration is as inaccurate as your pig pen analogy.

Because we have public sewers means the federal government can ask us the last time we watched porn?

JIm Michaelson Commented: “She is not against the census but the questions that follow. Let separate the two.”

Jim, you have to understand, the vast majority of posters here are public school educated. To expect them to understand the difference between opposing the census and opposing the questions is to expect something way beyond their abilities. Keep im mind Jim, that the vast majority of the posters here voted for either obama the illegitimate and mccain the idiot.

Jim, Don’t expect to much from them.

Bo Darville Commented: “Because we have public sewers means the federal government can ask us the last time we watched porn?”

Bo the answer tho that question is very simple: “I never watch Cspan so I have never watched the US Congress, Supreme court, or the administration.

Truth, to call liberals libertards is down right insulting to retards. Why not instead call them obmaites? Now that is bottom of the pit. obamaites are the stuff you find at the bottom of the sea that is passed by whales.
