   “Put down your chopsticks and get involved in Census 2010,” reads one message.

   Is this racist? Where’s the yellow outrage?

   I am at a loss for words. We have no government. I am tired of government workers getting paychecks to do this kind of stuff.

   I’m numb from this. What can be said to defend such a complete lack of common sense? And they wonder why conservatives are so angry?

    I keep thinking of Clint Eastwood in The Dead Pool.
    Dirty Harry sees some guys robbing a Chinese resturant and says, “You forgot your fortune cookie. It says ‘You’re s**t outta luck!’

    In the area where we live, they would have to put the message in a taco, not a fortune cookie. There is a place on every corner that serves taco’s. Not a bunch around here eat chinese food but us. I don’t plan to open the cookies now I know what could be inside.

    I gag everytime I see this stupid census ad on television, telling native hawaiians that they need to fill out the census forms to ensure that their voices are counted.

    I didn’t realize that filling out the mandatory forms was a civil rights issue. The census shouldn’t be about who gets money or representation by race, but by location.

    Be careful Flyman. Under the new Hopey/changey census…

    “Sign ze papers, old man!”

    “But…I cannot sign ze papers.”

    “Why can you not sign ze papers!?”

    “Because you have broken both of my hands.”

    “Silence!! Sign ze papers!!!”

    “What do ze papers say?”

    “Zey merely state zat you have not been mistreated here.”

    If the census doesn’t have a box to check that you are a U.S. citizen, it’s going to scew the redistricting they’re hoping for anyway.

    I’m sick to death of politicians acting like we’re all a bunch of morons…wait a second – to put up with this nonsense we are!

    This morning on f&f the discussion was about the census, and it was said that if we didn’t count illegal aliens in california, they would lose 7 house seats. Sounds like a Sheriff Joe is needed in california for a win win deal. the citizens don’t lose their entire security network, and we get rid of 7 whack job reps in congress cancelling the vote of sane congresscritters. Please let one be madam Nancy.

    …if we didn’t count illegal aliens in california, they would lose 7 house seats.

    Unfortunately, even illegal aliens are counted. If there’s a group of mexican illegals standing around looking for work, the census taker will just count them.

    Illegal immigration is a violation of state’s rights. Example:

    There are 5 states: C, D, E, F, and G. State C has sanctuary cities and doesn’t assist the federal government with any enforcement of illegal immigration laws. They readily accept all illegal immigrants and give them state support and voting rights. States D-G do the opposite and do their best to keep illegal immigrants out.

    State C allows 2 million illegal immigrants in between two census periods. However, in that time, 1 million citizens leave the state due to the rampant socialism that is killing them. They migrate, evenly, to States D-G.

    So, the net increase for the States is, C: 1 million; D-G: 250,000 each. When the representatives are apportioned, States D-G will have to give up 1 rep each to State C. Even though D-G increased the number of citizens and C increased only in the number of illegal immigrants.

    This is why illegal immigration violates State’s rights. Each state is entitled to its proper representation in the House. Allowing illegal immigrants takes away that representation from citizens and transfers it to the illegal immigrants.

    I strongly agree. It has to be a crime to use the illegal count for representation. IT HAS TO BE.

    So, why are our “representatives” allowing this to happen?

    Why has not someone challenged this administration on this matter?

    WHERE is OUR (citizens) representation???

    Who is going to stand for the rights of CITIZENS?

    Everyone else, including terrorists and little fish have representation, but where is mine?

    Sure, I may be white, but race is NOT supposed to influence constitutional rights. However, citizenship is the only factor that counts, but it is the factor that is being ignored!

    Ha! You do that too? I remember when we had a big family gathering at a Chinese restruant and I introduced all my in-laws to that fortune cookie tradition.
    Everybody had to read their fortune out loud. You haven’t lived until you hear 70+ year old grandmothers ending their fortunes with “…in bed, or …between the sheets! They cackle like little school girls. It’s hilarious!

    What is alarming is such a great push to count people. When in history have they had to walk thru fire and spend billions on counting people?

    Are US citizens in hiding these days? One has to wonder…

    Years ago, just after the 1990 Census, I was in Washington, DC at a ceremony where Department of Commerce medals were being given for various reasons.

    A month or two prior to the ceremony, there were rumblings in Congress about holding hearings because of how INACCURATE the latest count was.

    During the ceremony, there were about 12 people from Census that were given Bronze, Silver or Gold medals, with various fluff spoken when the citations were read, and accuracy was mentioned several times.

    What was even more disgusting was seeing this, after a couple of federal law enforcement agents were given Gold Medals for risking their lives while saving the life/lives of others.

    I have been disgusted ever since whenever I hear the word Census.

    I hear they plan to hire Michael Mann to homogenize the Census data. After using a “trick” to hide the decline in democrats by increasing the inner city population, the raw census data will be deleted for lack of space. (It was either that or delete all those brilliant fortune cookie slogans.)
