Karl Rove's PSA Begs Americans to complete Census forms

[bobbyw24]

President Obama's politicized, profligate U.S. census drive is so desperate for positive press that it has now recruited former Bush senior adviser Karl Rove to do public service announcements. Rove pleads on video: "Please answer the 10 easy questions. They're almost the same ones Madison helped write for the first census back in 1790." Message: If you don't join the census bandwagon, James Madison will have lost!

Sorry, Mr. Rove. Playing the Founding Fathers card isn't going to quell conservative criticism of how the Obama administration has exploited the census boondoggle for both economic and ideological gain.

For the record, I have no beef with the constitutional mandate. I complied by filling out my census form and sending it back -- with "American" in the blank for race/ethnicity to register my opposition to government racial classifications. Despite apocalyptic suggestions by census officials and some Republican politicians that conservatives are recklessly boycotting the decennial head count, analysis by both the right-leaning Daily Caller and left-leaning Plum Line websites shows that return rates from conservative counties are in line with national averages.

So, what makes the Obama census campaign different from other census programs? First, its naked, left-wing special interest pandering. The White House is championing a "***** the Census" movement by pro-gay marriage groups, for example, and the Commerce Department is working with open-borders leaders who want to use the census as leverage to stop all immigration raids.

Questions asked in the first US census:
1. Name of the head of each household.
2. How many free white males age 16 and older.
3. How many free white males under age 16.
4. How many free white females.
5. How many of all other free persons.
6. How many slaves.

Questions asked in this census:
1. Number of people living in the household.
2. Any additional people in the household not counted.
3. Who owns the household.
4. Your telephone number.
5. Name of each person living in the household.
6. Gender of said people.
7. Age and date of birth of said people.
8. Whether said people are Hispanic, Latino, or Spanish in origin.
9. Race of said people.
10. Whether said person lives somewhere else.

How are they even almost the same? Madison's was a head count plus the name of the owner. This is data-mining.
Madison, hothead that he was, would not approve.

Dont forget the 1 in 11 people that get that ACS form with what like 65 questions.. Where you work, how much you make...blah blah blah

Karl Rove needs to die. Maybe we can get Howard Stern to pray that he'll get cancer.
