Obama Strikes Again

If you fill out your census form, that means the Death Panels can find you. It's true.

This is why I move every 10 years in May.

I love the text descriptions of the questions on the website.

What is your telephone number?
We ask for a phone number in case we need to contact a respondent when a form is returned with incomplete or missing information.

Use the number of an adult chat line.

Please provide information for each person living here. Start with a person here who owns or rents this house, apartment, or mobile home. If the owner or renter lives somewhere else, start with any adult living here. This will be Person 1. What is Person 1's name?
Listing the name of each person in the household helps the respondent to include all members, particularly in large households where a respondent may forget who was counted and who was not. Also, names are needed if additional information about an individual must be obtained to complete the census form. Federal law protects the confidentiality of personal information, including names.

How do you forget who lives in your home? Is this the USA, or Yorkshire?

What is Person 1's race?
Asked since 1790. Race is key to implementing many federal laws and is needed to monitor compliance with the Voting Rights Act and the Civil Rights Act. State governments use the data to determine congressional, state and local voting districts. Race data are also used to assess fairness of employment practices, to monitor racial disparities in characteristics such as health and education and to plan and obtain funds for public services.

Asked since 1790, since, well, some people only count for 3/5ths.

Doesn't the census still have "negro" as an identifying race? Excellent.

I got my census form last week and mailed it in. Which questions were the ones that had people all bent out of shape? Here I was ready to spill my guts and reveal all my dirty secrets to the government and there wasn't even a "comments" box. Guess I'll have to get on Facebook to do so.

They are just like the 2000 census forms for the most part, which people also whined about being too intrusive. Obama must have traveled back in time and made GWB do it for the grand social engineering scheme. Oh, wait, I remember people saying that even though GWB was president that it was Clinton's fault for handing it off to GWB that way. So that means this one is GWBs fault for handing it to Obama this way. Oh wait. I confuse.
