No Compromise Media

The FBI is investigating the hanging of 51 year old census worker,  Robert Sparkman.  Sparkman was found hanging in a remote wooded area of west Kentucky in Clay County with the word “FED” scrawled on his chest.

I was reading about this case this morning and of course, the thought came to mind that “right winged” extremists would be blamed for this event. I mean, geez, there is so much hatred for those who oppose the take over of America and “fundamentally transforming” America into a Venezuelan style Socialist country that,  of course, when a dead fed is found that,  naturally,  it’s the fault of right wingers!

And of course, the Huffpuke aka Huffington Post, reports that,

Investigators are still trying to determine whether the death was a killing or a suicide, and if a killing, whether the motive was related to his government job or to anti-government sentiment.

Apparently,  Sparkman was warned to be careful in the hollows of Kentucky.

Gilbert Acciardo, a retired Kentucky state trooper who directs an after-school program at the elementary school where Sparkman was a frequent substitute teacher, said he had warned Sparkman to be careful when he did his Census work.

Folks in these parts aren’t too keen on divulging information about their personal lives. They’ve never been excited about government.

During the American Revolution, the Citizens in the hollows of the South fought a long hard battle to protect their land, and their fierce individuality from government control freaks,  and they won battles against the largest standing Army in the world at the time.

I doubt much has changed concerning their attitudes towards government since the American Revolution.  However,  the South also has a reputation for being stalwart,  resourceful, giving, loving,  and gracious with a strict attention to manners so to blame the area Citizens for the death of a human being,  or to even speculate because of the area this man was working in is, well, bigoted!

Census Bureau–Counting You to Justify Big Bubby!

Because of this case it reminded me that the 2010 census was looming thus  a good time to look into the questions that will be asked.   After you read these questions, ask yourself if a violation of privacy is taking place,  or is it ok to tell the federal government the intimate details of your financial, and health information, and the all important question:  How many toilets are in your house.

First off,  what is the Census Bureau Constitutionally required to ask,  and let’s see how the Census Bureau plans on violating that mandate:

Representation and direct Taxes shall be apportioned among the several States which may be included within this Union, according to their respective Numbers … . The actual Enumeration shall be made within three Years after the first Meeting of the Congress of the United States, and within every subsequent Term of ten Years, in such Manner as they shall by Law direct.
– Article I, Section 2 of the Constitution of the United States

Two years prior to a census, the US Census Bureau sends out requests to all federal agencies asking them what are your data needs?  Why ask this question? Because in order to justify agencies to receive tax dollars, the agency has to look needed or the funds are cut; clearly big bubby in action.

Census 2000 included a short form to collect basic information used for reapportionment and redistricting, and a long form sent to approximately 1 in 6 households that was designed to collect detailed information used to distribute fiscal resourcesunder a wide array of federal, state, local, and tribal programs. The 2010 Census will be a “short form only” census.

The American Community Survey is sent to a small percentage of our population on a rotating basis. The survey collects essentially the same detailed information on population and housing characteristics, as did the “long form.” Since the American Community Survey is conducted every year, rather than once every 10 years, it provides more current data throughout the decade. In Puerto Rico, the survey is called the Puerto Rico Community Survey.
Questions asked on the 2010 census will be:

1. race- asked since 1790–violation of Constitution
2. gender- asked since 1790–violation of Constitution
3. age- asked since 1800–violation of Constitution
4. relationship-asked since 1880–violation of Constitution
5. hispanic origin–asked since 1970-violation of Constitution
6. Tenure–how long have you rented or owned a home?–asked since 1890–violation of Constitution
7. How many people living in this residence since April 1, 2010?  Wow, a constitution question!
8. What is your telephone number?  Violation
9. Where does this person live?  Violation.  Either they live in “this residence at this address or they don’t?
Now let’s look at The American Community Survey.  It’s legal for the US Census Bureau to ask you how many people live at your address,  and you are mandated to answer those questions. But what is The American Community Survey and  you are mandated to answer more detailed questions on THAT survey!

Questions, questions and more questions

It is obvious that Congress passes laws to force you to answer intimate questions so as to use the info yanked out of you by force,  to justify taking more of your money to pay for these agencies’ existence.  Most of these agencies are a violation of the Constitution, not to mention the clear violation of 10th amendment Rights of the states.

I don’t think the question is, “Is Obama fundamentally changing America into a Socialist state?”  The question we have to ask,  is how to we take our country back from the Socialists who have already taken over? Furthermore, recently the US Census Bureau has been told to answer directly to the White House.  Doesn’t this violate a separation of powers since it is Congress mandated to take the Census?
