Conservative opponents of the Obama administration are urging supporters to resist the upcoming US census, saying it asks too many questions and reflects increasing government intrusion into private matters.
The census, held every 10 years since 1790, is becoming a focal point for the growing anti-government movement in the US.
The government will endeavour to count every person living in the US, regardless of legal, immigration or citizenship status. The count, which helps determine political representation and the distribution of hundreds of billions of dollars in government funds, is mandated by the constitution.
Congresswoman Michele Bachmann, a virulently conservative, anti-Obama Republican from Minnesota, has urged supporters to give only the number of people living in their household, saying nothing more is required by the constitution. Participation in the census is required by law and to refuse, or to falsify information, is punishable by fines that can range from $100 up to $500 (about £60 to £300), although the law is rarely enforced.

You need to get yourself analyzed before you start trying to analyze someone you’ve never met, unless of course you’re planning to use the same non-existent crystal ball you used to ascertain what Michelle Bachman might think, say or do in an imaginary discussion with you. That’s number one. Number two is that just because there are a couple other people as foolish as you are doesn’t make any of you right. It means that sheeple aren’t known for their ability to think outside the box, even for their own good.
People like you are all about emotion. Emotions, never logic, rule your thought processes, to the extent you even have viable thought processes. That makes you dangerous, but hopefully stronger minds will prevail and your actions and decisions will be a microscopic blip on the path to resurrection of a reasoned, pragmatic conservatism leading this country.
