Yet More Evidence of the Census Boondoggle

This post from RedState is a nice compilation of several news articles and anecdotal supporting evidence (which might be called whistleblowing) on the 2010 census fraud. Maybe the biggest point, $14.7 billion compared to the 2000 cost of $6.5 billion.

How Far Have We Come?

From the begining of this nation's current government the first enumerated protection from government interference was the freedom of the press, free speech and religion. Now the government no longer believes in this. From President Barack Obama's recent commencment speech decrying the abundance of information available as a result of the internet to the Federal Trade Commission draft proposal to restructure journalism with government bureaucracy at the heart of the changes. Welcome to the all-caring, all-controling government of the left.

President Obama Casts Aside Reality

Not that this is the first time, but today President Barack Obama once again cast aside reality to proclaim nonsense and the stock market was not amused. The May jobs report indicated an increase of 431,000 jobs. Good news right? Not so much. Of the jobs created, only 41,000 were created in the private sector and of that, 31,000 were temporary positions. Who hired the rest of the people? The United States Census. As I wrote earlier, even the 390,000 temporary census positions aren't really 390,000 positions. The census is laying off and rehiring people in order to count them as multiple jobs created. President Obama still used the report to claim the economy is getting stronger by the day (this link goes to the interview I mentioned last night). Meanwhile, on the very same bright and cheery news that taxpayers are financing hundreds of thousands of people to perform a headcount (the only legitimate constitutional function of the census), the Dow amazing tanked, dropping over 300 points on the day. So who do you believe, the man who takes millions out of your pocket, or the people who want to preserve their wealth? It's always easier to push someone else of the bridge than it is to take a leap yourself. I'll go with logic, reality and the stock market.

Stay Classy, Paul!

Sir (yes, for some reason England knighted a communist for his ability to perform music) Paul McCartney, who was more important to the President's schedule than the traditional laying of the wreath at Arlington cemetary on Memorial Day, decided to take the opportunity of receiving an award from the Library of Congress to bash former President George W. Bush. McCartney said it was nice after the last eight years to have a President who knows what a library is. McCartney is apparently unaware that, as he is not an American citizen, he does not have a President. Intellectual giant that McCartney is, he appears to be unaware that President Bush is married to a librarian or that he was the first President to have held an Master's Degree in Business Administration from Harvard. I'm no fan of President Bush's domestic policies with regard to the unmitigated spending, but I don't doubt for a second that the man is more intelligent than he often appears when speaking publicly. Guess he should have used a teleprompter at all times like the consumate orator President Obama, who screws up every time he improvs a line. Anyone remember him trying to justify government health care by telling the audience how the U.S. Post is failing while FedEx and UPS are profitting? The left really needs to get over itself.

More Openness and Transparency

Our historically open and transparent adminstration is now apparently trying to withhold documents held in the Clinton library on Supreme Court nominee Elena Kagan. Read this article on your own about her opinions, but if we can't air the writings of an "intellecual" (which I'm almost certain is what most people would call retarded) does she deserve to be vetted in the first place?

CHICAGO!!!!

So the felonious interference with state races keeps on coming. Not long after the Democratic Senate hopeful Joe Sestak blew up, now, the White House has confirmed it dangled jobs in front of Colorado Democratic Senate candidate Andrew Romanoff. The administration is so cocky that spokesman Robert Gibbs (or as I like to think of him, Gibblets and maybe) chalks it up as politics as usual.

In the meantime, the administration is awaiting a jobs report that is going to be so fraudulent it could only have been devised by....well...them. Concrete evidence has emerged that not only are the temporary census positions being counted as jobs created by Uncle Barry (Barry Soweto is Barack Obama's birth name), but that census workers are laid off and rehired, then counted as multiple created jobs. Congressman Issa (R. Cal.) says that his committee on ethics and oversight is being blocked from investigation of the jobs offers by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D. Cal.). Sorry for the lack of links on this, I picked up most of it from TV interviews and haven't found the posted e-mails on the census positions yet.

This is the most cynical and corrupt government to ever be in power in this country.

Random Thought

As I watch SEIU people in front of the White House protesting the Arizona anti-illegal immigration law, it occurs to me that these union people should probably be at work.
