Big cities see resurgence in population growth (Beware: ACORN-census report= more fraud)

Reversing a decade-long trend, many of America's largest cities are now growing more quickly than the rest of the nation, yet another sign of an economic crisis that is making it harder for people to move.

Perhaps the cities ARE gaining in population. But perhaps something else is at work: the CENSUS, now run by Obamanuts, is adding population to the big cities in order to add votes in the next election.

If ACORN is able to add voters--whether they exist or NOT--to the rolls, and if ACORN is part of the CENSUS, then you have perfect scheme to put another 50,000 votes into the liberal bins in 2010 and 2012.

Okay, conspiracy mode is off.

No chance in hell.

OBTW.. it's not about voters. It's about SEATS in the house, and gerrymandering to gain a permanent demRAT majority.

I read something recently that gave 900,000 as a population for Detroit and I know that the actual number has fallen to 800,000 or less.

“OBTW.. it’s not about voters. It’s about SEATS in the house, and gerrymandering to gain a permanent demRAT majority.”

....and it’s about money...the more people you can come up with, the more government money community organizers get for “programs”...I was living in Charlotte NC during the 1990 Census and the census takers finally admitted they didn’t know how many people were “staying” down in the projects...urban blacks are hard to count....a white man can’t do it....they see you coming, they’ll run out the back door....that’s why Obama wants to send ACORN into the ‘hood....they’re the only ones that people will talk to.

An astute student of history and human nature, Thomas Jefferson, predicted what we see happening here in America. As ambassador in France, he witnessed the run up to the FIRST socialist/communist revolution there. He penned the following observations concerning what would happen HERE should that socialism come to the United States. He CORRECTLY predicted that we would become an increasingly contentious and litigious people as we shouldered one another out of the way to get OURS from the public trough and the trough would soon be empty.

He also knew where the bulk of the problem would originate.

That whirring noise you may hear coming from that mountain in Charlottesville, Virginia is Mr. Jefferson getting up to around 3600 RPM.

As I understand it, at the time of the drafting of the Declaration, Mr. Jefferson originally wrote “…Life, Liberty and PROPERTY…” (meaning that one’s right to freely acquire, use and dispose of his property – to the extent doing so did not violate the same to others – was a Creator endowed right. Because slavery viewed humans as property, the phrase “Pursuit of Happiness” was adopted instead to avoid – at least for the time being — the inevitable debate on that subject.

“The mobs of the great cities add just so much to the support of pure government as sores do to the strength of the human body. It is the manners and spirit of a people which preserve a republic in vigor. A degeneracy in these is a canker which soon eats to the heart of its laws and constitution.” —Thomas Jefferson: Notes on Virginia Q.XIX, 1782. ME 2:230

“I think our governments will remain virtuous for many centuries as long as they are chiefly agricultural; and this will be as long as there shall be vacant lands in any part of America. When they get piled upon one another in large cities as in Europe, they will become corrupt as in Europe.” —Thomas Jefferson to James Madison, 1787. Papers 12:442

“I view great cities as pestilential to the morals, the health and the liberties of man. True, they nourish some of the elegant arts; but the useful ones can thrive elsewhere; and less perfection in the others, with more health, virtue and freedom, would be my choice.” —Thomas Jefferson to Benjamin Rush, 1800. ME 10:173

“Our cities... exhibit specimens of London only; our country is a different nation.” —Thomas Jefferson to Andre de Daschkoff, 1809. ME 12:304

“Everyone, by his property or by his satisfactory situation, is interested in the support of law and order. And such men may safely and advantageously reserve to themselves a wholesome control over their public affairs and a degree of freedom which, in the hands of the canaille of the cities of Europe, would be instantly perverted to the demolition and destruction of everything public and private.” —Thomas Jefferson to John Adams, 1813. ME 13:401

“An insurrection... of science, talents, and courage, against rank and birth... has failed in its first effort, because the mobs of the cities, the instrument used for its accomplishment, debased by ignorance, poverty, and vice, could not be restrained to rational action. But the world will recover from the panic of this first catastrophe.” —Thomas Jefferson to John Adams, 1813. ME 13:402

“I fear nothing for our liberty from the assaults of force; but I have seen and felt much, and fear more from English books, English prejudices, English manners, and the apes, the dupes, and designs among our professional crafts. When I look around me for security against these seductions, I find it in the wide spread of our agricultural citizens, in their unsophisticated minds, their independence and their power, if called on, to crush the Humists of our cities, and to maintain the principles which severed us from England.” —Thomas Jefferson to Horatio G. Spafford, 1814. ME 14:120

I’m sure that Detroit will be back above the 1.5 million mark after the 2010 Census

ROTFLOL!!

[wintertime]

And....No citizen will “have standing” to challenge the census findings in court.

Must be a mistake here. ACORN rep said he believed Detroit has grown to 3,576,000 at least as cheaper housing is attracting a new population. New York is 25,000,000 now and Los Angeles is 37,000,000. San Francisco is 12,344,000. In fact according to ACORN all large cities have tripled in population at least on average. Rural areas have decreased by similar amounts. /s

[Clemenza]

New York city has been growing consistently since the early 1990s. I believe the net gain in population since 2000 has been +186,000. BTW: Many of those folks are NOT immigrants either.
