It doesn't matter who's running the census.

Who's running ECOMCON?

I don’t think they’re concerned with having a plan. They’re concerned with holding what they’ve got, for their own lifetimes. “Apres moi, le deluge” is their motto.

I agree with you. I see so many say "Conservatives don't/can't do that, we have jobs and families" or "Look how it divided the country in the Sixties". But it worked, for the left. I hope we care more than that, but we'll see.

You see, Americans are quite a bit different from Europeans and Argentineans. A brief view of American history will teach you all you need to know about what will happen.

I would like to think that you're correct, but I don't know. We have come a long way from those men who actually knew they might have to lay down their lives for freedom. They didn't want to die. They had families and jobs too. My extended family sounds like yours-conservative, southern, armed, ready to fight, and knowing what that means. But I don't think it's very widespread. Even amongst those who say they want to-I wonder, if the bullets started flying, would that be the first time they considered the ramifications of their words?

President Obama has decided to bring the U.S. Census Bureau under White House jurisdiction


Stick your census up your ass, Mr Obama.

The GOP should direct their wrath and anger at the Dumba$$ Gregg.

Same here. I thought the census lady was going to bust an artery when I told her how many lived here and nothing more.

As for moving control to Reichsfurher Emmanuel, the rats do not intend to give up control of government again. Whatever it takes.

Big, shady maneuver. Why not just place the Census Bureau in the Voter Fraud Department?

I agree. Use their tools and tactics. It will not come easy for Conservatives, but we are in a struggle that requires game-changers at this point (IMO). We need to have some specific plans, though. The problem is that we Conservatives have individuals who are willing to fight a new game but don’t know how to apply their skills effectively. CPAC might be a good place to get some brainstorming going among committed leaders/participants.

Just list your race as other. If every single American is a minority, what are they going to do? We’ll all be the same. And after all, isn’t that what we strive for......a homogenous country where everyone gets along.

Seriously, tell all your friends who could be mistaken for caucaasian to correctly list their race as “OTHER.”

Excellent assessment of our pending demise. Shall we send an emissary to France to help us get our country back? Seriously, what are we going to do? The integrity of the national elections was lost in 2000. I agree totally that the Repubs are playing this like everyone is following the rules. It almost looks like, dare I say, that they’re throwing the game.

Already happening, isn’t it?

After the election, I saw little hope in openly resisting Obama. I did not share such negativity with this great forum because that would defeat the FR's purpose. Anyone willing to fight openly and keeep at it did not need to hear from guys like me. So I worked on another project with the same intentions. I thought we would have to take a beating while trying to sneak the truth out covertly. Now I see a glimmer of hope. You guys have been doing tremendous work!

Obama’s hit the ground running, just like he and Hillary both boasted they would do. While everyone is terrified about porkulus [rightly so], this is being sneaked in at the same time. They are using Blitzkrieg tactics, Lightning Warfare. There's also the plan of a hearing on 'talk radio imbalance'. There are rumblings of 'war crimes trials'. Not a word is being said about 'guest worker programs', but don't be surprised if a 'guest VOTER program' [other than ACORN] becomes official. The bottom line is, while their popularity might suffer right now, they are trying to knock out the leaders of pro-freedom. It's a fast moving mobile warfare. As things stand, unless their popularity melts down completely through scandals and quick [such as the tax cheat scandals], I believe it will take a miracle to stop them.

Regarding this particular issue, it's very important. Remember the battle over a desire to balance the census through polling rather than counting? We all know how ‘accurate’ polling can be. I suspect this will be the way to destroy the GOP’s chances in the House through redistricting. If we want to have any shred of fairness in future House elections, corrupting the census must be prevented. It's the same as fighting voter fraud.

On the other hand, undermining their popularity, exposing them for the creeps they are, is also important. God bless you guys for your hard work and dedication! FRegards ....

People endure a lot before they get fed up, complaining is not the same as rebelling.

True, but Argentina does not have 70 million armed citizens, either.
