Good News: Census Bureau Hassles Homeschool Familes
Feed Your ADHD ^ | 5/27/2010 | Snarky Basterd

Posted on 05/27/2010 6:42:29 AM PDT by bloodmeridian

Some of you may recall my response to the Census Bureau selecting ordering me to participate in the American Community Survey and the 2010 Census (so that, IMAO, pResident Zero can find out just how many of us teabaggers out here he really has to conquer and divide).

Funny thing is, Census workers haven't come around to find out what I really have to say. But they sure don't have a problem with badgering large homeschool families who've already filled out the Census, making them answer the questions all over again.

Here's an email conversation Mrs. Snarky Basterd came by today (names removed for privacy):

Please do NOT support the use of this terminology: “teabaggers”

Or at least refer to Dems as “D-Baggers” when responding!

As I’ve posted before, there’s a simple solution to all of this drama.

Don’t pick up your phone. Don’t answer your door.

Especially the phone thing, why anyone in their right mind would pick up their phone (in a world of caller ID) is beyond me. Seems to me you;re just looking for a fight.

If you’re caller ID says “restricted” “private” or has a number you don’t recognize..let it ring. If you pick it up by mistake and you don;t recognize the voice - hang up. Why you would engage is beyond me.

As far as a knock on your door. Just let them knock - eventually they’ll go away.

"Blogwhoring"?

Do you mean like this: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/bloggers/2393836/posts

Or this: http://www.freerepublic.com/tag/yidwithlid/index

Is this not the "bloggers" section? This great place is just another means of delivering information you won't find in the MSM.

Feel free to post whatever excerpts you'd like, but why you'd shoot the messenger if you were obviously interested in the topic is beyond logic.

“Is this not the “bloggers” section?”

No, it’s the news/activism section.

After all of their sanctimonius caterwalling about “racial profiling” in the Arizona law, they are now going to badger those of us who didn’t fill out our census forms completely to declare our race. I can’t wait to hear from my 0bama Census Corp worker.

I’VE BEEN POSTING HERE FOR 10 YEARS. WHEN I PUBLISH, I SELECT “BLOGGERS & PERSONAL”. FREE REPUBLIC PLACES THE POST IN NEWS/ACTIVISM. THAT IS BEYOND MY CONTROL. TAKE IT UP WITH JIM ROBINSON.

I sympathize with the victim’s plight, but the link to whatever site that is leads you to an incomprehensible mish-mash of disconnected and hard-to-follow dialog....personally all the victim had to do is react verbally to the Gestapo trooper like what’s documented in that site......just plain confusion...

When I got my Census packet, it was a really busy week...I intended to fill it out at some point.

Then about 8 days after I got it, I received a “threat letter”, attempting to intimidate me into filling out the packet.

It was 8 days later. That is crazy.

So F them, I’m not filling it out this decade out of principle.
